Singing competition shows are big deals in America but folks in Europe know the REAL enchilada is the EUROVISION.  Not just people but nations compete.  I think the grand prize is you get to occupy Norway.  Anyway, this has been going on for years and is gearing up for the 2012 edition.  Among the big winners have been Abba so you know it's legit.

Anyway, this was the WINNING song in 1969.  Let me repeat that:  WINNING song.  This one beat all the entries of all the many nations.  Nothing could top it.  Can you even imagine the song that finished tenth?
