I've been meaning to watch it. Crap, it snuck up on me.
niro, that is a great song!
I wasn't aware of the ESC until a couple of years ago, when I was looking up Lulu to see what she did after "To Sir With Love." I found she'd won some contest I'd never heard of with a song called Boom-Bang-a-Bang, and I had to see what THAT was all about. (It was as bad as it sounds. Bad being a totally subjective judgment, and if B-B-a-B is your wedding song or something, then I unreservedly apologize for all 10 million hateful and ugly thoughts I've had about it. I'm sure it was a beautiful ceremony.)
Anyone not aware of it should really check out the history of the contest, and watch some of the videos. I'll include a video of all the winners from the beginning to last year. It's worth spending the time on, just to see how much has changed since 1956. I do believe most people involved in the beginning would be shocked to see some of the recent winners (Lordi and Conchita, I'm looking at you!)
