Eurovision past, present, future

It was nineteen seventy six When a great band sang about saving a kiss Such a jolly song That anyone could sing along I learned the words off by heart And entered a singing contest While on holiday Save all your kisses for me Save all your kisses for me Always a great memory I'll never forget the day that As some candy was awarded to me.

Hi, Diana. Thanks for poetically pointing out the contrast between the unencumbered good-heartedness of the the winning song in 1976 with the tortured vibes of this year's winner --- not to mention the politicization, with the attack dogs going after Israel's contestant. Makes me long for yesterday. ~ Gershon
