[Loobs666]

They never stood a chance in the the battle of of the shittiest songs.... I mean Batley versus West Berlin ffs! This is good, but 'Ghengis Khan'.... now that, is so bad it's criminal!

[ticanito74]

What kind of tape was this recorded on ? VCR?

[katoeuro]

Bad song.

[Furienna]

If I try to disregard the bad quality of this video (even if it's hard), it sounds like this is a really good song. It should have been in the top 5 instead of Ireland and Spain.

This song was a total rip-off of Oh Carol by Smokie

HI

I live in Israel and the Eurovision of 1979 was the first time I remember that I saw a band and a song not in Hebrew. I mostly liked the Bass role in the song, and this song is the cause that I learn to play bass in these days.

Alan Barton the singer went on to sing with smokie before his untimely death in 1995 whilst on tour in germany.. terry...

[setheurovision94]

Ow...! I can see why you dubbed over the video with the studio version in your recap. Not even my worst tapes are like that. Anyway, okay song - rather catchy, especially the chorus, nicely 'pop-y'. But I find the lead singer to sound like someone who does heavy metal in his spare time.

[tasosk3]

Yes, I know :-( - it's really a pity about the quality, but I couldn't find anything better, and I thought it's still better than nothing. As for the song itself, yeah, it's an okay one, but nothing to write home about really...

[pinkcookie1969]

@tasosk3 GOD BLESS ALAN BARTON, HE WAS A VERY TALENTED SINGER, AND NO WONDER HE WAS THE RIGHT MAN TO REPLACE CHRIS NORMAN IN SMOKIE, HIS VOICE IS SO IDENTICAL TO CHRIS, LOVE ALAN.
