In case you missed it...

here is a video of the song that won the Eurovision Song contest. It's worth seeing.

Well, they did enter it as a joke as they were so fed up with the way Eurovision had gone....
... and they obviously got their costumes from the sell-off of props from the Lord of the Rings films....


.... did I ever mention I was a bit of a rock chick???

 

I thought the picture I saw of them was from a Star Trek Convention. :D :D

 

Makes a refreshing change from all that bland crap that seems to be in the charts these days, they're a bit over dressed perhaps but thats show biz. :D

 

Bring back Abba.

 

Yeah, that was a looonnnggg time ago. :D

 

Was it? Only feels like yesterday! How did I get that old? Was watching Grumpy Old Women last night and related to every single thing they said!! Inside I'm that defiant, stubborn sulky 15 year old , but when I look in the mirror I'm that 43 year old gardener who plays Abba , and think's it's cool to go to seventies nights!

 

43! you are just a youngster. I remember the first Eurovision Song contest. Brian Johnston, (brother of Teddy) singing "Looking, High, high, high"

 

Yeh! Sheppy at 43 is a youngster isn't she Hornbeam.

Do you remember 'Chickory Chick Chala Chala' or
'Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy, a kid'll eat ivy too........'
There wasn't a Eurovision song contest then but perhaps either of these songs could have been suitable.

(and they say today's songs are rubbish words)

:D :D :D

jjordie: Mares eat oats and does eat oats etc....brings back memories...I got sixpence for singing that on a stage in 1945 at the age of 6.

 

Hornbeam, that rings a bell, being a bit of a youngster myself, just remember the names Pearl Carr And Teddy Johnson, is that right?
Early sixties.

 

Yep, that's them - chirpy husband and wife singing due. Back on black and white television when they wore full evening dress.

It was another world entirely!

As well as "Marezee dotes..." there was:
"I got tears in my ears from lying on my back, Crying in my bed over you" :D

Remember the one about the "boom, boom box" on the beach? And "Close the door - they're coming through the windows, Close the door, they're coming up the stairs"? Never did find out what they were or what was in the box. Easily amused weren't we!


God - I'm old :(

 

Oh Dear...Sandy Shaw "Puppet on a string" our 1st holiday abroad to Isle of Elba Italy , and every Taverna would play this when English people walked in we flew with Freddie Laker..in a BAC 1.11 Hows that for history?
