What's with the hate? Come on, stop picking on the song. If you don't like it then go watch... 50 cent or something, I don't care. But this is such a nostalgic song for most Swedes, leave it alone.
What's with all the hate? o.O I don't get it. That people can be so immature -.- " Pretty Gay" Halloooo, this was the 80's, people wore clothes like that!! How old are you people, 8??
sorry...and its not sour grapes, but Linda Martin should have won this for Ireland, It was a much stronger song and a far more profesional performance by Linda. Not that I'm a fan of hers (She was better with Chips) but credit were credit is due. If that didn't impress them in 1984, Wait till they Get a load of Jedward in 2011, We'll be Fuckin Banned foe ever.
And this is probably why Italy does not participate anymore!! The most beautiful song they had that year "i treni di Tozeur" and then this silly song wins!
Man fick inte sjunga på engelska på den tiden, såvida inte engelska var ett officiellt språk i landet, som man representerade. Det var bara Storbritannien, Irland och Malta, som fick sjunga på engelska innan 1999.
Man fick lov att sjunga på engelska några år på 70-talet, typ mellan 1973 och 1977. Men mellan 1977 och 1999 var reglerna stenhårda på att man skulle sjunga på landets folkspråk (Schweiz och Belgien fick variera mellan sina språk) eller ett officiellt språk i landet (vilket förklarar varför Luxemburg fick sjunga på franska och Malta på engelska, fast de inte är dessa länders folkspråk).
Omg gbgkille24, why are you getting so nervous ?? To tell the truth Italy is know to be exactly the opposite of what you ridiculously & childishly are dreaming of : in Italy gays have always been heavily discriminated which is not for the northern countries and societies, and that's worldwide known .
As for football , you're misunderstanding a bit : it's the Allsvenska that joins serie A and not the opposite, .....XDDD !! ( Ibrahimovic f. i. )
And I absolutely love this. My all time favorite Esc entry. Perhaps cause I was 5 at the time, and have a lot of good memories links to this particular song so it always brings a smile to my face... My first musictape, my first idols, a lot of hours lipsinging this song with my friends.. And being danish I understand the lyrics. I think it's so great. Heja Sverige
hahaha but your from Italy my man! Officially known as the most gay country in the world!! What where you thinking writing a comment like that! One should never take water over his head! haha..
And don't you think its a bit immature to generalize a country by calling the whole population boring and childish!
I think YOU suck, but it doesn't mean i think all of Italy sucks! Only yore club-football! I think Serie-A should join the Swedish Allsvenska! haha
Three mormon youngsters, that really is so "gay", don't you think? Using the "gay" label as an insult here on youtube really is very tiresome and never ending. It is both interesting and frustrating to ponder upon why it keeps happening. (Love the song and the nostalgia.)
shit man they are not gay the fashion sweden int eh 70´s and 80´s looked that way ac/dc is a rock band not a pop band do the fucking research. look at the fags in The ark they are real gay ! i´ve seen photos on the fashion and 80% of the young population listned to rock and pop music and wore tha kind of clothes case closed!!!
Lol? The band who has sold over 200 million copies worldwide? The band who has released the album Back In Black that has sold 42 million copies ; 2nd best in the world history EVER. The only known band from Australia? Their singer's grave is on the list of things worth to see in whole Australia? Their guitarist who was listed on rolling stone's top 100 guitarists of all time?

Thank-you for posting this. This brings me good memories of me when I was 12. I was living in Jordam, and I had this eurovision recorded on VHS and I used to watch it all the time, singing along, never understanding what it meant. Tak. Tak.
This is absolutely the BEST eurovision permormance & song EVER! And we are many who think so even in Helsinki today when we finally broadacst the competition to Europe, ho ho ho! GRATTIS SVERIGE!!! DIN TACKSAM FINNE - IGEN! ;-)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don`t understand your comment, apart from gay. And you`re right. These guy`s must be faggots! What a dreadful song by the way. If they like this crap in Sweden, they must be sick!
haha, well this is from 1984 and at that time this kin of music was popular, especially in the eurovision song contest, and as far i as know they are not gays, but the music is absolutley gay :P
At the time all three of them were Mormons, married a few years later. BTW they were born in the U.S., and appeared in TV-series Fame once upon a time.
The Italian song which reached number 5 (Alice & Battitio-I treni di tozeur) was the absolute
best song this year...It is a shame that this Herreys tune actually won...
