I was 4 when I saw this on Eurovision, never to hear it again. I fell in love with the song but my parents didn't know what I was talking about, so I always kept the song close to my heart, because at 4 years old, it made me extremely happy - I've always loved music. Now, I am 36. Watching Eurovision tonight, there was a clip of the song, I jumped up, told my husband "OMG, that's THE SONG!!". Over 30 years took me to find this damn song. So, here I am. It still makes me happy!!!!

There is also the issue of toxicity that may have been the result of Terry Wogan's drunken rants in the 2000s that turned opinion here against eurovision. It boils my blood when people blame it all on excuses such as Brexit, everyone hates us and block voting. In reality we send mostly trash songs.
