Mesdames et Messieurs, meine Damen und Herren, Laydees and Gennulmun, it's nearly *that* time of year again.. yes, the Eurovision Song Contest looms large on the horizon with the final in Baku (where? oh, Baku...) on 26th May, (anticipated almost as greatly as the *other* final in Muenchen this month...)
So in a run-up to said contest, let's see and hear your fave Eurovision hits of yesteryear, (please go easy on the Brotherhood of Man requests)
Here's a t'rific trio representing (West) Germany in 1977, possibly inspired by Kraftwerk's nascent technological-pop, but surely inspiration for OMD's pop-hit of some years later.
Silver Convention - Telegram Interesting note: despite the 'native language only' rule, Germany (and Belgium) were allowed to sing in English ... ahh .. Eurovision-Politics.
