This is the first video of Schlager Lucas...

[@xXBalletBearXx]

As a German, I can say that we had one of the best Eurovision entries ever that year! I don’t know why we didn’t win, I listen to that band every day.

[@tonyjohansson7567]

The first ESC I remember. Your top 5, I totally agree with. What a great winner!

[@jonathsnparrish4040]

So pleased that you have Finland at 6th place. It's one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever. Portugal and Denmark were really good too

[@amirg1645]

What a great job you made here... i agree bout the winner...great harmony of Milk and Honey...as well as great arrangement of Oshrat as a composer.. i also agree that Ted from Sweden, was a great singer unfortunately he's not with us-RIP...i also think that the Austrian song was good, although doesn't belong to ESC. your footage is just fantastic!, great graphic on the video,nice explaining your vote and stuff..hope to see more videos from you! .

[@davidwilding1993]

France, Greece and Luxembourg. The best three entries this year.

The spanish children of that year after was a singer group calling Caramelos, and Betty Missiego she's living now in Benalmádena (Costa del sol) and i last decade i don't remember the year 2016 or 2017 i think, i saw she at the fair in my city (Málaga) she was on the jury in a male and female contest, i has she almost in front of me and the truth is that is very well preserve despite the fact it has already passed 80 years of age

Austria 1979 - one of the most underrated Eurovison entries ever (in my opinion)!

[@flamedealership]

VERY nice work, thank you - got yourself a new sub..👍😁. Although I should be old enough to remember, but Matia Bazar at the ESC? I totally forgot and considering the song I rightfully did. It obviously took a little work and time to finally come up with the epic "Ti Sento"

Micha Marah (Belgian entry) didn't like the song she had to sing at the time. But 44 years after, she released in the summer of 2023 for the first time a single and video clip of "Hey nana". You find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGLGapuof6eXjMk

I'm glad that someone else likes "Satellit"! Poor Ted didn't perform it the best on the night and was terribly nervous (the Melodifestivalen version is WAY better), but the song is just a belter. It's better than "Hold The Line" which it usually gets compare to.

[@itzumetric]

can you please do 1973?

[@andreasklumpp4551]

But Schlager-Lucas forgot to rank the very small stage. I've seen it on a journey with a guire from Black Forest in June 1992. I don't see the lyrics of our German entry in the 2nd place. The choreography of the newly organized group was good. The lyrics of the French entry telling the story of a captured Jewish man from occupied France in Southern Vichy-France make me sad. Most dresses and hairdressings were terrible. And it's a shame that official Turkey didn't allow Maria Epik and her group to perform in Israel; this would have been the best Turkish entry for ever.

[@christophevalere7945]

The year 1979 is certainly the best to date. For me, 14 songs could have won and Luxembourg should have been disqualified. My ranking: 1 Israel 2 Germany 3 France 4 Denmark 5 Finland 6 Spain 7 Italy 8 Greece 9 Norway 10 United Kingdom 11 Portugal 12 Sweden 13 Netherlands 14 Ireland 15 Switzerland 16 Belgium 17 Monaco 18 Austria Luxembourg: disqualified because plagiarized song (absent pour raisons d'amour of Pétula Clark)

You are the only one who thinks Anne Marie David looks intimidating when she sings (I'd argue borderline scary - I think it's that she borderline inhumanly unblinking and starey) or doesn't really like her song(s) that much. I do to the first and I don't to the second - her winning song is one the least liked by me ever. And I love you have Dschengis Khan 2nd - awesome!
