The first UK entry I remember was this one, in 1959:



Ah, they don't make 'em like that any more - do they? cyclops

EDIT: the Katrina & THe Waves record was a big hit here - unsurprisingly - as I recall.

EDIT AGAIN: I also recall the UK entries by The Allisons (1961 - 'Are You Sure'), Cliff Richard (late 60s - 'Congratulations'), Sandy Shaw (mid-60s - 'Puppet On A String'), Lulu (sometime in the 60s - 'Boom Bang A Bang' monkey affraid monkey ). Others seem mercifully to have escaped my recall... Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson 4242516590

No, they don't. It's sooo cuuute. flower
It's doesn't sound English, isn't it more Tyrolean?
Don't quote me on this, but ... I believe that, in 1959, it was accepted wisdom at the BBC that, to be accepted as European, you had to sound somewhat Tyrolean. To sound French was, well, rather too French-sounding, if you get my drift.

I quite liked Johnny Logan as well, he won twice for Ireland.

He was actually born in Australia.

In 1968 Serrat was to sing La la la

but he wanted to sing it in Catalan and they didn't let him
so finally Massiel sang it in Spanish


This is probably the most known Spanish song in Eurovision...

I knew you were kidding, I laught because I found your joke to be funny... but anyway I answered your question...

I see, they chose to sing la la la because it is in an international language and everybody would understand the depth of its meaning cyclops

EVERY German alive at the time remembers "Dschingis Khan". It was SO uncool, SO awful, it had everything required to make a self-respecting teenager loathe and detest his country. Nowadays I think it's rather funny.
Was it on purpose? I mean, was it deliberately uncool and awful (and funny from a distant time)? Laughing
A few years ago Spain presented a song in the contest that was deliberately ridiculous? I had a good laugh thinking that song was the chosen one

Sweden's entry Loreen performs Euphoria, which won this year's competition convincingly. 'Oh, it's good, isn't it? It sounds like something that you'd hear on the radio. And that's something that has never ever been said about any Eurovision song in history'Photograph: David Mdzinarishvili/Reuters
