And 10 weeks number one says wikipedia.
I just got back from seeing these guys play. I’d call their unreleased new track Freak Show my song of the day but there’s no video/audio for that.
Piove = it rains
Here’s my favourite song from Eurovision last night - the entry from France! Translated lyrics here.
My second and third favourites were Finland’s and Norway’s entries.
Estonia’s entry is excellent. I only checked out a few but Estonia’s and France’s entries are easily the best among those I listened to.
I like that this song is not in English. It’s a little bit sad that most songs aren’t in other languages anymore. In the early days of the song contest the singers had to sing in the language of their countries. I miss that a little bit because it makes each song more -hm- individual.
I believe that was actually what wadde hadde dudde da was meant to satirize. At least I remember him saying it at the time.
Hm… It’s a modified version/some sort of diminutive of “Was hast du denn da?” (“What have you got there?”). In an interview he stated that he heard that sentence on the street from a woman saying that to her dog. So I’m not sure if this was meant to be a satire - especially because he is known for things that makes no sense.
Since @Someone is complaining about a lack of Dutch songs being posted, this song has grown on me:
This one’s better though:
Maybe slightly less good than Abba the previous year, but up there as far as Europop goes:
I prefer the Dutch winning song from the '50s though I can’t think of the name atm.
Talking about songs from the Netherlands - after this guy lost the contest with his song:
he migrated to Germany and made a huge career as a TV host…
Dutch winner from '57:
(Cue the idiots saying she sounds Belgian.)
Dutch winner from '59 (wtf is with the mill in the bg, lol; I like this one less):
Talking about songs from the Netherlands - after this guy lost the contest with his song:
I like Rudi Carrell. One of my favorite sketches is where he’s in a bank that’s being robbed.
Dutch winner …
Both songs sound like they could be from a movie…
I like Rudi Carrell. One of my favorite sketches is where he’s in a bank that’s being robbed.
Yes, that’s a classic sketch from him.
I am curious how many (older) Germans remember this song. (And I didn’t knew that there are several remixes…)
Love that song, with Mr.Fripp on guitar. Never heard that version before.
Now another one of my favorite guitarists:
