[MrSebboxxx]

... ist so beautiful and I mean even timeless !

[HC0071]

Gotta love it ^_^



[MikaelUKGB]

What a handsome couple Esther and Abi were. They're singing this live, unlike most TV performances now, and Esther hits all the notes bang on. A class act and no mistake!

[thelonelyslayer]

[stoobee09]

[ZoltanRick]

[nickelback1955]

What an utter load of shit!

[ApollonAcheus]

[conmad24]

That's from the Gilbert Bécaud show!

[ZXC5000]

[hexxxxe13]

you'r my rockefella - niedlich die beiden

[urbansheepdog]

That's Austin Powers!!!!  Yeah! Baby yeah!!

[cisco9x]

Why arent the audience raving to this ? Is it cos they British ?

[mooker5600]

LOL probably true.

[Eyatn]

This is Germany 1967 before it was introduced in Britain...

[zaragon59]

The German audience is so terribly well-disciplined! They are brought up more strictly than other people to follow rules and do as they've been told. Whenever Esther is singing in Germany they still do the same thing - I couldn't and had to shout "DENMARK LOVES YOU ESTHER!", much to the amazement of the German crowd in the hall... She's still simply astonishing! :-)

[elkelu54]

elke hier mal wieder für zaragon59

if Germans were as well disciplined as you and the world think they are (in other words robots that can't do anything but follow commands)why is it that we are noted for "Das Land Der Dichter und DENKER. And what about the Reformation?

Since you are from Dänemark and obviously educated, unlike most people in the US, i think you know what I'm talking about.

[zaragon59]

Hi Elke, and thanks for commenting. I hold a great respect for Germany and many Germans - don't get me wrong there, and you are right about all the fantastic poetry, music and art coming from G. I was only referring to "Das wohltemparierte Publikum", which indeed is quite different from the rest of Europe. It truly is something that you notice, if you've been to other concerts in other countries in Europe. I hope you will understand. No offence meant.

[Muteswan1]

Well, we Brits only had the Beatles, Stones, & The Who, And Syd Barrett. Along with Bowie, Dusty and Scott Walker. Not to mention the Fairports, Sofy Machine and Kevin Ayers. What would we know about raving? Moody's, Procol, Tornadoes.........

[jamierourketen]

etc,etc,etc!

[123strauss]

No , because they are civilised people who don't jump and scream and rave like moronic yanks

[thelonelyslayer]

@123strauss oh, loosen up. music is supposed to make you feel like you want to sing and shout.

[LeePrice86]

@cisco9x hahaha that's why they aren't raving. sour face krauts lol plus the ofarims are jews, so everyones sat there with all that on their conscience.

[speedcrane]

@cisco9x ...ever considered they might just have musical taste.

[Fraususemil]

@cisco9x Most presumably, dear.

[xxxbuggy23]

well, we now know where austin powers got his suit!

[mrmartinmartin]

@xxxbuggy23 to right mate!

[66chrissy66]

i loved this still do thank you eyatn

[Catakareza]

i LOVED THIS WHEN i WAS A SMALL CHILD AND I STILL LOVE IT....ROCKERFELLA FOREVER

[diesundas]

She was absolutely beautiful, the most wonderful eyes I have ever seen. Something really special, the makeup a little strange, which gave her a sort of ancient Egypt look - Cleopatra might have looked like that. I was only a small boy in the sixties, but I remember being so attracted to that face.

[Muteswan1]

I wonder what the guys thought of Abi? Lucky sod, I guess?

[allan1951]

Was crap when it first came out and its still crap

[swissdolphin]

Esther Ofarim is on Concert Tour 2007 right now in Germany, more details

go to w w w kulturinitiative de

[Eyatn]

OK OK we got the massage

[ZXC5000]

I always did (and still do) think she's gorgeous

[garylongmore]

I was bought this single for my 5th birthday by my mum & dad because i loved it so much and still do. I'm just really happy to see its still around in some form or another and hey its still "GOT IT ".

[Murderdogs]

I love this song. It is a pity that no-one seems to remember it; look how few comments there are.

By the way, perhaps its just me, but does she look a bit like Barbara Windsor?

[jangel47]

Well I remember it. Written by Mason Williams with Nancy Ames (the That Was The Week That Was girl). I think I remember them doing it on the Smothers Brothers show.

[blackmore4]

I hear Specsavers have some very good deals at present.

[varietylover]

Wonderful memories of the days when music was real.

[swissdolphin]

Cliff stole Abi's blue suit .-))

and many women startes to copy Esther's eye makeup

they do it again today 2006 the dark cajal and the Nofretete look but they are just copies

Esther's eyes are something very special

even wothout makeup these days

from a distance of let me say 60 centimeters

tehy are magic

[ljncolour]

I wish we could have songs out like this now -- Little novelty songs that come out of nowhere and become big hits...

[zaragon59]

God how I miss the talent of Esther - being able to perform like this.... and how it makes me dislike the likes of a Penicillin Dijon and a MaDumber... WHERE ARE THE REAL TALENTS OF TODAY???

[123strauss]

I agree completely . Music today is repugnant , vile , tuneless garbage . With every fibre of my being I long for the days of yesteryear

[blackmore4]

Cliff was the copycat (as usual). Abi's resplendant ruffles and Saville Row cloth were present and (entirely) correct on the "2 In 3" LP released in 1967. Cliff's prancing Eurovision performance of "Congratulations", where he dons a poor approximation of Abi's tailor's nifty lines, didn't occur til Spring '68. I reckon mono-browed Abi's a better prancer too.

[ljncolour]

did Abi steal Cliff Richard's outfit? or did Cliff steal Abi's outfit?
