Magnus and Max were initially booked to be the background dancers for this Ukrainian entry into Eurovision 2007. Unfortunately Magnus developed an allergy to the silver fabric used in the costumes and the boys were replaced at the last minute. If you look carefully you can just spot Max in the audience, grief stricken and weeping uncontrollably.
To quote Magnus: “This would have put us back into the big time. But how can you dance when you’ve got boils on your feet?”
The boy’s loss is of course our gain. In order to forget they planned on burying themselves in a Montreal opium den, however due to a navigation error made by Harry the bush pilot they ended up at the cabin where, after an unsuccessful experiment attempting to substitute opium with beaver fat and pine sap, they started broadcasting almost immediately.
Sweet mother of all that is holy! That is truly breathtaking!
