Anne-Karine Strøm - The First day of love - Norway 1974

[marytamm1]

She looks so much better here than she does in her Mati Hari outfit in 1976. Great song though - both this and Mati Hari were fab, and it's amazing they both came last.

She is the only artist ever to come last twice in the Eurovision..... Possibly because she sings something about the final solution in this song? (0:53)

@avshalom999 she forgot the lyrics

This tune was really good in 1974 standard, powerful and dramatic, and she sings really good. She is today a journalist in a weekly magazine but she performs now and then.

should never have come last. that was unjust. the song was much better than that.

Cute song.

[SundownerDrifting]

It loses a little something in the switch from Norwegian (a smart little critique of wealthy folks who don't use their power and influence to help the less fortunate) to English (generic peace & harmony anthem), but it still deserved a much higher score. The infamous Jahn Teigen sang a version of this at the national final.

And where can we get to see the Norwegian version?

[SundownerDrifting]

I don't know who has the video. I have MP3's of both Anne-Karine's and Jahn's versions.

Cute song - is she now acting in Norway? looks like one actress in Norway still feeling sensual and showing sensual...
