Is it the 40th year aniversary since their win???

@victorweilinye7024 The 40th anniversary's exactly on the 5th of May this year but they're prob going for an early reupload :)

[@GreyGuerillaNetwork]

This. This is proof that you can go first in the running order _and still win!_ One of my all-time Eurovision favorites! Hello from the United States. 💙

[@baxthered]

Such happened with Saba in DMGP this year

[@kennet7837]

Well, back then it was jury vote only. It's harder today to win from first position because of the televote. Juries are not affected by running order because they have to listen to and evualate every performance.

[@kennet7837]

​@@baxthered National finals are not comparable. Saba did not have to compete against 25 other songs.

[@baxthered]

@@kennet7837 I understand, I was just including something fairly similar

[@GreyGuerillaNetwork]

​@kennet7837 Fair point. Then again, Alexander Rybak placed first in Semi-Final 2 of 2018-that was split jury & public. Sure, Rybak was already a big name, but still: it's not impossible. 🙂

[@willsisskind]

Still convinced if this song was in any modern Eurovision, it would still place high.

[@sebastian0107]

... Really??

[@josephjames4326]

It was shite

[@Astra3yt]

Probably not but mainly because of the performance. These days in Eurovision you have dancers, a lot of lights and movement, while the most movement they do here is bending their knees and spinning. It was actually a bit retro when they replicated this performance in the semi-finals.

"Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" was the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 performed in Swedish by the trio of brothers Herrey's, representing Sweden. Lyrics were written by Britt Lindeborg, and the tune by Torgny Söderberg. It was produced by Anders Engberg and Torgny Söderberg. The song is an upbeat 1980s-style dance song, performed by three clean-cut young men - fellow Swedish Eurovision participant Tommy Körberg (Sweden 1969 & 1988) famously dubbed them "the dancing deodorants" in the press, a derogatory nickname that stuck with them for the rest of their career in their home country- and the nonsensical title harking back to previous entries such as "Boom Bang-a-Bang", "Ding-a-dong" and "La, la, la". Despite the reception the song receives today, in the run-up to the contest it was not an immediate favorite to win: bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland's "Terminal 3" and Italy's "I treni di Tozeur" as higher favourites, so the song winning came as a surprise to many. The song itself deals with the lead singer discovering a pair of golden shoes in the street one day. He puts them on and immediately feels like dancing in the street, entering a "magical world". Thus, he wishes for everyone to have a pair. The English translation, which the group sang in their winning reprise at the Contest, took much the same theme. FUN FACT 1: Lotta Engberg was one of the backing vocals for Herreys. She represented Sweden at Eurovision 1987 with her song "Boogaloo". FUN FACT 2 (NOT RELATED WITH HERREYS): 19 years old Désirée Nosbusch hosted the show. 40 years later she hosted the Luxembourg Song Contest which was the first National Final after Luxembourg made a comeback at Eurovision after 31 years break.
