Esc 1985 - La Det Swinge - Bobbysocks (BBC Broadcast)

[Museite]

one of the finest examples of eurovision preview musak

[Frickis]

this qwas 1984 not 1985. carola won 1983 and it was in sweden 84

[deltaquadboi]

@Frickis No, Luxembourg won in 1983, then Sweden in 1984, then Norway in 1985

[stafylides]

That's Terry Wogan talking!

[AlexDS69]

I watched the documentary "The Secret History of Eurovision" over the weekend and they showed some of "La det swinge". I don't know much Norwegian, but this song is pretty cute and fun, and I can see how it won.

[RememberRox]

Låten är skitbra. Älskar norges och sveriges bidrag det året.

[Frickis]

So Norway won in sweden 1985 and denmark won 2000!

[stonee206]

Was those haircuts really popular some time!!?? :D

[cwestah]

don't let him touch anything important there, he's only a songwriter :D

[vaggelisparaskevas]

[lantzip3]

[muscleboi4use]

OH LOVED Terry Wogan's commentary.... and LOVED this song so much!! Ah.... the good ol' days!

[Anonymiusen]

Hehe, 0 points is the Norwegian tradition. Funny chap. Brilliant song.

[AAngerJ]

[looipj]

[ccfcandy358]

Haha, one of THE best. Hard not to just smile at a chripy, happy song like this :)

[doubletom90]

I have to tell you something... what a song!

this is definitely one of the very best song by Norway!

[theTentative]

haha.. heja fina norge!! =)

[LCScampi]

The things that won in the middle 80s... almost as stupid as the songs that won in the mid-70s. It is perhaps less silly than "diggiloo diggiley" and "ding dinge dong" but only marginally

[benoni45]

I love this song. I love Bobbysocks and ,in particular, Hanne Krogh! I watch these videos all the time and I've noticed in some videos Hanne Krogh starts the sequence with her left arm out of sync with Elisabeth Andreasson. She takes three or four tries before she's back in sync. Does anyone know if there was perhaps a rehearsal tape that got out?

[DrageReborn]

ESC 1985, was it broadcasted from Sweden?

[DrageReborn]

Owh sorry, Gøteborg! Just read the info:)

This is one fabulous song, no wonder it won:D

[stuart12c]

If this is a BBC Broadcast which the commentary is, why is it that at the top left Corner of the screen it has ORF

[Ippenutt]

Isn't he the guy who wrote You Raise Me Up?

[Banansprik]

yes!! :D

Thats right! ;D

[joneivind]

Yeah and he is from sorlandet(Kristiansand) south in Norway:) Brilliant guy:)

[Petsura]

Bobbysocks.. *snickers* Those silly norwegians. :)

[charlies86angel]

Silly perhaps, arguably on the point of lunacy, but we won!

[kroeg11]

Ha ha, and no it's every year: UK 0 points!!!

[Makkelisch]

Sväning låt, låt det svinga låt det rocka loss! XD

[Fantasygold]

I Göteborg! XD

Nämen, denna låten är riktigt bra! Mina föräldrar är så gamla (jag är ett litet sladdbarn, hehe) så dom lyssnade mycket när jag var liten! ^^

[kntoheny]

Tempot är perfekt, bra låt. Tror dessutom att Norge kan ta hem ESC i år (2008) också. De bidraget var riktigt bra!!

[Ullarr]

Det trodde jeg og...Men men, vi får bare se tilbake på disse gamle perlene:)

[Indifferent86]

@kntoheny 2009 gick det bra iallafall med Fairytale :D

[Ullarr]

Helt enig! Tror bare det var fordel for oss at den ble speedet opp. Jeg synes det ofte fenger mer når dette skjer. Foresten denne sangen er CATCHY!

[Banansprik]

haha! Ikke no problem! Jeg er kjempe stolt av det Hanne, Elisabeth, Rolf og dirigent Terje klarte å gjøre for Norge! Det er vel den ultimate grand prix sangen!!! :D

Men skal jeg fortelle deg no'!

Egentlig skulle ikke sangen gå så fort, men Terje Fjærn som driger, han telte opp litt for fort, så sangen gikk fortere enn den egentlig skulle! Og i følge Bobbysocks sjøl, så var det en av hovedgrundene til at de fikk full pott fra så mange land! :)

[Mangoteppe]

En super tilfeldighet (feil?)! Uten den kunne kanskje Norge aldri ha vunnet...

[Banansprik]

Det er ikke godt å vite! Sammenlign tempoet i gøteborg og med finalen i oslo - den norske!

Så hører du klart forskjell :P

[vimsegiraffen]

@Banansprik Kanskje Terje gjorde det med vilje!? :) Men uansett, den energien og den musikalske magien som skapes i akkurat det ene øyeblikket imellom sangere, musikerere og dirigent kan aldri gjenskapes gjennom bruk av ferdiginnspilt musikk. EBU og Stockselius har frarøvet ESC svært mye av sin sjel!

[Mangoteppe]

Tusen takk, Banansprik! Vi fortjente SÅ masse å vinne! Sangen er så kul og morsom, og har en helt super opptreden! Ikke rart den vant spør du meg! :-D
