Thats not true, any singer from anywhere can enter the eurovision song contest. Many Americans can do so. It's a shame that Wake Up by Co-co wasn't original as they would have been disqualified as the song was released two years previous to the uk song for Europe.
@DOCTORSOCCERSHOW Yes indeed, Mickie was great and this should have been a hit for The Arrows. I'm surprised he never released it back in 1974. Instead it became a hit for Coco a few years later in a watered down version.
It only surfaced on The Arrows "A's B's and Rarites" on EMI as one of The Arrows lost tracks. Mickie was such a perfectionist even his shelved stuff was amazing!
The Coco Eurovision version is such a nick of this, it's amazing. The Arrows were so ripped off! This is such a better song, as the original usually is. The Mickie Most production with lots of of energy as always.
Teen power pop!!! Great stuff.

@const1112 Sorry. Singer yes, songwriter no. It had to be a British composer representing Britain.

This is kind of synth folk rock. The drums and bass sound great.

This is kind of folk rock. A very mid sixties sound, and only the (moog?) synth gives away that it's a seventies recording.
