Eurovision 1976 - Israel

[headphone355]

Did the Chocolate Girls release an English-language version of this song?

[truefactsth]

This takes me back - Released on HEDARZIBAN 14591 - LP. My Aunt was holidaying in Israel that year, asked her to try to get it for me - she duly did - and I still have it on glorious vinyl! Nice to see this video footage again too!

[ZapeMarreco]

Vou fazer uma pergunta meio excêntrica: em 1976 eu tinha 6 anos e, a não ser que minha mente esteja pregando uma peça, parece-me que eu ouvia essa música em rádios aqui de São Paulo. Alguém poderia me informar se isso realmente ocorreu ? Não acharia estranho, pois naqueles tempos pré-globalização os gostos eram menos padronizados que hoje e o jabá da indústria fonográfica era menos intenso ...

Emor Shalom means Say Hello, and this comment was posted on World Hello Day. You might as well say hello, maybe through this song.

[coopspur]

One of my favourite ever Eurovision songs - can't believe it didn't win, great to hear it again!

[sergeysleep]

the best song of Eurovision 1976

[ronansex]

the best song !

[truefactsth]

Managed to get this on vinyl 12inch via my aunt who was visiting the country at the time. On Hedarziban 14591, if my memory serves me well. Still love it!y

Those are no pajamas....That was the fashion of the 70's! Huge bellbottoms, shirts with huge sleeves. Much better looking than today!

Israel is not technically Europe, yet they are allowed to enter Eurovision because they are more European than their lovely neighbours who would rather use women for target practice than anything else.

[Woollylinnet]

@TheBlueyedblond Israel are allowed to enter because the European Broadcasting Area extends beyond Europe to the countries around the Mediterranean. Even Morocco entered once (in 1980). Most of the other eligible non-European countries don't enter because of Israel's presence in the competition.

[refohtiew]

@Woollylinnet But because Morocco entered ESC, Israel took not part in it! Therefore Morocco resigned - up to now!

[Furienna]

@refohtiew: It rather was the other way around, that Morocco only could enter that year because Israel didn't.

[jasonptify]

@TheBlueyedblond thats a stupid comment which has absolutely nothing to do with The Eurovision Song Contest

[astellamari]

to the person who wondered why the girls where wearing pyjamas..that was the fashion then,its funny looking back!

even if el al cabin staff are a bit frightening,at least you get good service and the best security in the world..the world should've asked israel advice before the xmas day bomber struck!!

[tachinni17]

Love this song

[AdamZUTube]

Good G-d! They look like El-al cabin crew that haven't learned to be surly and angry yet!! hehe

[drpoxy]

A great song and one that I remember very fondly. although to this day I'm not sure why they all decided to wear their pyjamas on the night.

[SonyT250]

LOL! They look like Charlie's angels...

[gmmelo13]

Israel is a really eurovision country !

[Tom3421]

great, greetings from catholic Poland ! ;-) Destroy antisemitism and antipolonism.

[1TOTPIL]

A minor mistake you have, Tasos- none of them were serving at the IDF at that time. They all finished there military service about 4 years before that contest (they already appeared in the Israeli song festival 1973 as civilians)

[tasosk3]

Oops, sorry for that (I guess that either I or my sources were mistaken). Consider it fixed!

[lwsmackie4]

ha ha Wikipedia aint that accurate!

[egebamyasi]

BRAVO INDEED!

[RyGil91]

What? Israel is not a part of Europe.

[vsrthkh]

israel is like part of sia europe and africa.... something like that

[jackmc1995]

israel is considered cultrally in europe

[lwsmackie4]

no its not!

[haimon33]

Israel is closer to europe culturally and mentality than bulgaria or romania for instance

[loveesc]

A country just have to be a member of the European Broadcast Union - and Israel is.

[ferretmanboy]

Israel is not part of Europe but to be in the Eurovision you need to be a member of the EBU

[bellapauldegi]

you make me sick dick heads like you ,shut up- and its all about the music!Music is the only thing thats not made of war!

[LalaLibre]

Thank you for posting!

I remember this song very well, I had it on tape!

[verkaforever]

So catchy! I liked U.K. best that year, but this was my second favourite. Israel nearly always puts a decent song in E.S.C. They REALLY should have won in 1983!

[SAULBELOW]

sin duda la mejor cancion de euroviison 1976 por siempre, ellas me recuerdan a los angeles de charly.

[shnoziyahu]

very bad! 0 points!

וחוץ מזה,למה הצילומים הארוכים האלה לפני השיר? שיתחילו כבר. נאחס.

[1000Gary1000]

הן כמו אמא שלי עכשיו אני לא מעמין

[airoa]

Es iz tsu schein!!! kushn un grusn fun Spein.

[dguri]

Amazing fashion in those days!

[alxflyisr]

אמהות שלי לעולם לא תוותרו,

אתן יודעות כי אתן גופות מתות!

עד נשימתי האחרונה תרדפו אתן אותי

אוהב אתכן אני, שונא אני אתכן,

הצילו את נשמתי

[ronansex]

I love this song ,cool ,great!!!

[ZAR256]

משום מה זה השיר המרגש ביותר שישראל שלחה אי פעם לאירוויזיון, בקושי נולדתי בעת שירתו

[ISR65536]

אמהות 3 זקנות שלי, ברוכות תהיו, מתי יבוא השלום, מתי יבוא השלום אהובות שלי שלושתכן?

[linus256]

כל יום כשאתם שוחים במימיו החמימים של הים התיכון זיכרו את 3 אימותיכם שרות מעל בימות שלוליות הדם היהודי באירופה וכל רצונן להצילכם, אולי להציל אך את נשמתן, מרגש

[mobyboy]

מה לעזאזל ?!

לא יאה ולא מתאים

[egebamyasi]

One of the best ever. A big cheers to tasosk. CHEERS!

[InnocentWar1]

Yes, this entry is real goood.

[Rockwellbabe2]

I wouldn't be surprised If Anwar Sadat saw heard this song and started to cry. He wanted a piece of peace.lol.

The words of the songs

Come Come here today I'm still here- so call out peace!

[888Eck]

this is one of my faves ever.brilliant.

[DRUGNOT]

[94ayd]
