[@christophneuschaeffer7489]

I've tried lots of alcohol and cigarettes but it is still crap ;-) Perhaps cocaine or crack would do the job, but they are illegal - and so should be this song. Given the fact that Israel has sent so many good songs and gifted singers to ESC I rather suppose the Israeli jury was drunk or stoned while deciding for this band and song. Or they simply couldn't afford to stage ESC so soon after Dana Internationals win in 1998 again and thus decided to be on the safe side for not winning ESC. In this respect, PingPong did the job perfectly - Israel received only seven points and took the 22nd place from 24 participating nations. However, French singer Sofia Mostari (23rd place / 5 points) and Belgian singer Nathalie Sorce (24th place / 2 points) can claim the remarkable achievement of having been even worse than „Sameach“.

As an Israeli I really think that we have really good songs. but this one is what I play when my brother wants to come to my room😭

[@mariosantoniou1776]

This tune is legendary. Best eurovision song ever.

[@i40329]

Are you serious?

[@esc_kartoshka25]

Almost the entire song was just "OOOOOOOOOH!BE HAPPYYY!

[@didrikgustafsson2426]

This is pure epic!! 😂

[@lucasmangasverdes1915]

It is indeed. It's so bad that it's actually pretty good. It reminds me of Las Ketchup Un Bloody Mary Pofavoh

[@albertcms]

This is an masterpiece

[@vikivarga3]

It was hopefully meant to be a joke as san marino's entry in 2016....

[@IzayoiArwena]

Viktória Varga San Marino, this guy was awesome!

[@SB-wv3oi]

One of the best entries in Eurovision. At least it's honest, fun and not calculated and generic like most of the Eurovision songs. Well done guys. Kisses from Serbia

[@sapirgizel9774]

What Im from israel and im shamed of that song

[@MJ-uk6lu]

​@@sapirgizel9774 Why? It's just so very jolly, even if it's lil bit silly.

[@ShellStruckZero]

This is awfully awesome and terribly terrific

[@grekwpolsce]

This song is so wrong it's right

[@moriturama96]

Aaaaaand suddenly this song is relevant again!

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

When you order the Vengaboys on Wish

[@ololoye]

this song is so shitty and so good. so it's my guilty pleasure. By the way this context of the song currently absolutely impossible

[@aliencraft3432]

I want, want a cucumber after this song🥒🥒🥒🥒😂😂😂😂😂

[@KarlDowney]

I've never seen a more perfect example of a broadcaster not wanting to win after hosting the year before. 🤣 Denmark 2002 & Serbia 2009 are good examples of this too.
