WATCH: The first track from Will Ferrell’s Eurovision movie has been released

Incredible scenes.

The Eurovision was supposed to be on over the weekend, but it wasn’t, because of coronavirus.

What was on, however, was a non-competitive version of the song contest, showcasing each of this year’s entries to give them the attention and celebration they deserve.

It was a pretty good watch, and will thankfully satisfy the cravings that most of us Eurovision fans will undoubtedly harbour until the song competition returns next year.

But, if you find you’re still desperate for some sweet Eurovision content, never fear because Will Ferrell’s eagerly anticipated Eurovision movie is coming to Netflix next month – and the first track has already been released.

Unsurprisingly, it is a banger.

The Netflix movie, aptly named Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, stars Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as a pair of  Icelandic musicians, desperate to make a name for themselves in the song contest.

Demi Lovato and Pierce Brosnan will also be making appearances in the film, which has been co-written by SNL’s Andrew Steele.

Ferrell’s and McAdams’ characters’ song is called ‘Volcano Man’. Because Iceland. Get it?

The official lyrics (because yes, you do want them), are as follows:

Woke up at night

I heard floating chords

They guided me

To the highland fjords

Above the clouds

On a mountain peak

There he sat

And he began to speak

Volcano Man

He’s got my melting heart

Volcanic Protector Man

A timeless hero must love too

Volcano Man

(Volcano Man)

Guarding the land

(Such a man)

Volcanic Protector Man

A timeless hero must love too

And I love you

A classic banger, clearly.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga will be streaming on Netflix from June 26.
