[EUROVISION 2000] Ping Pong - Sameyach (Official Music Video / Highest Quality)

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

In hindsight, this might be the most genius Eurovision entry ever. Light rave beats, suggestive cucumbers, subtle political undertones and same-sex kissing? These guys were way ahead of their time!

[@vcvc2811]

my guilty pleasure

[@sampsanyman162]

Yeah..

[@szlanty]

I ironically want them to return in 2020.

[@tFighterPilot]

Me too I wish they were chosen for Eurovision 2020. It would have been hilarious when they would be told the Eurovision is cancelled.

I remember their performance back in 2000. In my opinion - it is one of the most Eurovision-style songs ever performed there. And I really like the tall girl

which one? Ahal or Fijoya (Ifat)?

[@redsamson0023]

i think they didn’t practice before their performance

[@Euroviking86]

This was honestly a pretty decent song - some catchy early 2000s technopop. The stage performance was a disaster, true (as was their decision to substitute "Sameyach" for "Be happy"), but the song itself has some merits, especially Fijoya's solo.

[@horizonte-music9990]

Right? I love her part, too! ❤️

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

Nah, this song is shit.

[@spacebbqmusic6787]

I agree, this recorded version is much better than the live version. People are too hard on this song because of the botched stage performance.

[@morbidsearch]

@@spacebbqmusic6787 Tbh the only difference is that the notes are all correct in the studio version. Their voices still sound really flat

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

One of my biggest guilty pleasures. I was 5 years old in 2000 and I wanted this song in top 10 😂😂😂😂 Along with UK 2007, this song is in category of bad songs which are quite memorable. I love you Israel

[@nataliella97]

israel denounced them. it was all them and I love them all the more for it.

[@andkris05]

Oh I didn't know that they had a music video. Nice!

[@Ramboost007]

Okay now I'm convinced that they had in-ear monitor problems during the live performance.

[@ΕυαγγελίαΚαφαλή-λ5υ]

I was only 3 years old in 2000 and I wanted to win. After 7 years of hearing it and going to school I initially thought the song won and found out they won a Danish song. After 2 years I revealed that Denmark won and now Denmark's song is my winner. Before 2020 my winner was Israel.

[@ΕυαγγελίαΚαφαλή-λ5υ]

It was nice that they sang in Hebrew and with cucumbers.

[@pilimba]

This is a fabulous song. A successful political protest entry. I love it!
