One of the worst-placed songs I've ever seen. An amazing and catchy song with great lyrics. Excellent performance as well, and very good lyrics. Entries of this calibre ought not to linger at the bottom of any sort of scoreboard.
It obvious, Finland has the hottest girls, the prettiest language and unfortunately not much feeling for good esc songs :( why always depressive music with pointless fun-elements. It's so sad, because I always cheer for Finland and want them to win!
Because this song was given only one point means the voters were all braindead. It mirrors a 1960's Burt Bacharach and Tony Hatch at their catchiest. A sophisticated pop song. Kristina is clearly very talented and her pitching and delivery are spot on.
Although the bunny analogies are not far off the mark, they are more charming than detrimental in this case. Given her dress and elevation above the orchestra, any more dramatric gestures may have resulted in some bum notes from the orchestra.
That was an excellent, Burt Bacharach -influenced song and young Kristina had huge star potential. But were the lyrics written in purpose to make the Finnish language sound as weird as possible? All those käy, lyö, työ rhymes are hard on the ears.
Yllätys, yllätys tämä laulu oli vuoden 1968 kisojen ennakkosuosikki ja vedonlyöjät uskoivat Suomen voittavan, mutta kuinkas kävi? Hyvä laulu siitä huolimatta.
Hieno mieleen jäävä kappale. Kiitos muistoista.

The best song. All Mexico with Kristina Hautala, because she is the best in the Eurovision 1968

This was one of the best song of this year (if not the best)...

I find it one of the best of that year, so typical of the times the orchestra's background.
I feel finnish language nice to hear and make their words as coming from another galaxy.

Right at :28 she looks like a little bunny sneezing. Her nose twists around--it's funny.

For indo-european speakers an uralic language perhaps is too alien.

I think Eurovision voting must be like U.S. baseball All-Star voting. It doesn't reflect a truthful judgement of talent.

The Finnish Eurovision songs in late 1960´s and early 1970´s were underrated.
I think their poor success in the contest
was beacuse of the Finnish langege which no one but the Finns understand.
The situation was totally with the French
and English spoken songs.

I can't beleive that she was only awarded 1 measly point! And that Spain's La-La-La number- one the event? Why again... weird!

I love the Spanish entry La La La, but you're right about Kristina: what a amazing song, and what a low score...
euro19952009 3 years ago 2
Totally agree! although I'm from Spain!!
I love the song, her voice, the performance, the dress... can't understand the score, either
