What you need to know
Windows Central staff are celebrating right now; why? Because the man born to be our mascot has made it one step closer to winning Eurovision 2024. Yes, the mighty Windows95man made it through the semi-final and will be dancing in his underwear and Windows 95 merch on the Eurovision Final this Saturday evening.Windows95man, who will represent Finland, is right at home amongst other bonkers entries in the Eurovision Song Contest. You can watch his winning Semi-Final performance of ‘No Rules’ below, with his triple-denim-clad collaborator Henri Piispanen.
Windows95Man, real name Teemu Keisteri, is normally joined on stage by Clippy who often looks like he’s in dire need of a restart, there’s no Clippy on stage for ‘No Rules’ though, just a gigantic denim egg and Windows95man shooting sparks from his underpants.
I’d love to think Windows95man could win the contest, but he’s up against some stiff competition from other popular acts likeIreland’s entrant Bambie Thug, the “goth gremlin goblin witch” with a performance that wouldn’t look out of place in a Hellblade marketing campaign. There’s also Baby Lasagna with the catchy ‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim’. It’s a tough competition, and the song ‘No Rules’ may not be strong enough to make it all the way. If you could win on pure charisma, Windows95man would have this in the bank. Unfortunately, it’s a song contest.
