Awesome song. Definitely one of the best Austrian ESC performances ever.

I have the song on cd and believe me u hum along to it as u drive. Its not a bad song. It has a strong message which is lost in translation. And the outfits are shit too!

Clever stuff, but people were either too daft to realise - or were uncomfortable, after all, the jury members were the people they were having a go at!

@klarinetta 1969? I think you mean 1968, as Austria didn't (want to) send a singer to Spain (which was, at the time, ruled by Franco).

Schau an . da junge Dr. Ostbahn! Fesch

Mmmm. Can't imagine why this didn't win....

After reading the translation of the lyrics, this is most fascinating! Original indeed!

Top tune.

One of the top entries of all times in the ESC. The lyrics are good and the chorus - it's just so beautiful!
-
One of the best performances ever, yet it came second from last. I don't think they got many votes from Sweden - remember Abba's "Bang-A-Boomerang"?
Clearly top 5. There were so many boring songs that year and this one stood out by being original. The jurors just couldn't have fun, I guess.

Which songs do you find boring? Personally, I think 1977 was a very strong year, so I'm not sure I agree with you. As for this, it is indeed an original and funny song (you should find a translation of the lyrics - they're quite poignant), but the way too silly stage act was its undoing, IMO. You see, funny/kitchy/campy acts in ESC are a tricky thing - if you go too much over the top, you run a serious risk of crash landing (as Ukraine learnt this year).
