Ireland's 2008 entry was big on pastiche, with puppet Dustin the Turkey taking the spotlight, instead of the focus being on the singer. Believe it or not, this was not the bird's first musical outing. He'd already had quite the history of performances when he joined RTÉ's children's television programme, "The Den", alongside some other furry friends, Zig and Zag, in the '90s. He could also be seen on "The Once A Week Show" with Sinéad Ní Churnáin on RTÉ Two television.
Despite making quite a splash at the semi-finals, unfortunately, Dustin didn't make it to the grand finals. But he did whip up a barrel-load of headlines full of bad puns about turkeys.
