Ever wondered why Eurovision songs are capped at three minutes? Curious about the origin of this rule? You're in luck! This episode takes you on a nostalgic journey back to 1956 when there were no such limit. We discuss the impact of Italy's record-breaking five-minute and nine-second song in 1957 that shaped the rules of today's Eurovision contest.

But wait, we don't stop there. Brace yourselves as we venture into the hypothetical world of a six-hour-long Eurovision Grand Final! Envision the dramatic costume reveals, intense performance dynamics, and yes, even marathon drinking games that could result from this extended time frame.
