Wauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuw

[boezie]

This is really a top song! Why didn't this win, it's super!

[timonline2000]

It is super. Emly blames the live orchestra for her not winning, but I think it was just too risque for the juries at the time. It was also sung in Dutch, which rarely did well at Eurovision.

[JustJack66]

what was wrong with the live orchestra?

[timonline2000]

Nothing! It sounds much better than the studio recording.

[cdnserbluvr]

Would have done better a year previous in 1980 with all the themed entries. 1981 was just too strong

[saecis]

In 1980 it was the Wallonians' turn to represent Belgium, so she wouldn't have the change to.

samson and delilia ....never heard about the love story ?

[dadevi]

They should have gotten togas for the guys singing backup, but great disco song anyway...XD

[lieven11]

it is the belgian entry for the Eurovision in 81...it is so camp, unbelievable...very underrated at the time, i think she ended 13th. I love it, they should do it today with English lyrics...

[ddrrules]

It's about Samson and Delaila, well..a guy who's delaila she would be...:P

[TheDancingCookie]

Wow, this is so Vegas! I just love it - anyone help with with what she's singing about. Apart from someone called Samson!
