The excuse given by the group for singing so badly was that they couldn't hear their foldbacks - they couldn't hear anything over the noise of the audience apparently... maybe a link to the 'bad manners at singarounds' thread needed here?

The recorded version is in tune (I hesitate to say it's good), but the version performed live during the contest, was truly appaling and it deserved every point it got.

Terry did comment that we would have to send a gunboat out, but I forget for whom.
