Eurovision Rewatch: Madrid 1969 (20:00 BST)

[Madíson]

Oh those fuckers have added country names again.

 

[Iguana]

Really hoping for Yugoslavia 2023

 

[Madíson]

Minus points for the language gimmick.

 

[Iguana]

Something a bit Mr Bean about this guy

 

[D5K]

Oh those fuckers have added country names again.

I'm very glad they have.

 

[win_the_game]

Never trust a man whose facial hair is trimmed to that level of precision.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is truly terrible.

I'm kinda welcoming the new neighbours using power tools at 8pm.

 

[dmlaw]

Minus points for the language gimmick.

They have been punished by shoving them on first. It was halfway through before I realised it was an entry.

 

[win_the_game]

Not the worst opener to a song contest I've heard this week.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The 60s in colour is so weird.

 

[Tisch]

Minus points for the language gimmick.

Scooch didn't get the memo forty years later either

 

[Madíson]

Finnish?!

 

[dmlaw]

This is truly terrible.

I'm kinda welcoming the new neighbours using power tools at 8pm.

I hope you don’t forget to mention their tendency to do that to anyone who views the place.

 

[Tisch]

Yeah I quite enjoyed that actually

 

[D5K]

That didn't really GO anywhere

 

[GinAg (39)]

I hope you don’t forget to mention their tendency to do that to anyone who views the place.

Oh I have no desire to sabotage the sale.

 

[Madíson]

30 Yugoslavia

 

[Iguana]

Who's on death watch this time? Surely this guy is no longer with us?

 

[Tisch]

The 60s has such a distinct style of singing.

Mr Luxembourg is doing a LOVELY job of it.

 

[Iguana]

Who's on death watch this time? Surely this guy is no longer with us?

But if he is, I hope his eyebrows are still as bushy

 

[GinAg (39)]

I always feel like they didn't know they were being watched in the 1960s. Not really taking advantage of colour TV.

 

[dmlaw]

Who's on death watch this time? Surely this guy is no longer with us?

No death date on his Wikipedia. He was 28 here.

 

[Iguana]

No death date on his Wikipedia. He was 28 here.

Wow. I'd have guessed 50s

 

[GinAg (39)]

Who's on death watch this time? Surely this guy is no longer with us?

Been dead for 10 years

 

[GinAg (39)]

VIVA CANTANDO!

 

[D5K]

Richard Osman as the conductor

 

[Tisch]

YES SALOME!!!!

 

[win_the_game]

Lovely selection of bouffants in the audience.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Definitely in my 1960s top 5.

 

[Tisch]

I suspected we'd have her tonight

 

[Iguana]

I don't have high hopes for Salome, given the earlier comment that Spain only ever hosted this once

 

[dmlaw]

Lovely chorus. Great relief after the slightly dodgy first verse.

 

[Iguana]

Spain really BRINGING IT

 

[Tisch]

Definitely in my 1960s top 5.

Was this the top rated song from the 60s in the Euro Top 1000?

Also her pant suit - PURE DRAG.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She's ALIVE!

 

[D5K]

I’m exhausted already!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Was this the top rated song from the 60s in the Euro Top 1000?

Also her pant suit - PURE DRAG.

I think Poupee was highest.

 

[Iguana]

What exactly was she trying to achieve with her dress?

 

[D5K]

Oh it speeds up each time she breathes.

 

[GinAg (39)]

What exactly was she trying to achieve with her dress?
