Odd Børre - Stress - Norway 🇳🇴 - Grand Final - Eurovision 1968

[@stefanenglishman954]

FUN FACT: "Stress" originally finished second in the 1968 Melodi Grand Prix on 3 March, but was promoted to the Norwegian entry when the winning song "Jeg har aldri vært så glad i noen som deg" was withdrawn from the contest by its composer amid persistent allegations that it plagiarised the 1963 hit "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard - who was the United Kingdom's representative in the 1968 contest.

I absolutely love Jeg Har Aldri Vært Så Glad I Noen Som Deg!!!

[@stefanenglishman954]

@@Knabberfritz I love it too, it's better than "Stress" in my opinion.

[@killershark4456]

I would like to imagine Cliff reacting negatively to "Jeg har aldri vært så glad i noen som deg" and then trying to get Norway disqualified for plagiarism

[@SwedieYT]

Didn't Odd Børre also sing "Jeg har aldri vært så glad i noen som deg" but since it was withdrawn he had another song they used instead?

[@thecupheadfan1837]

​@@SwedieYTThis is the song he used instead

[@orangespark2340]

Again, i'm glad you guys are paying your respects to contestants who are passing away, but you should upload more of these old performances, including those of people who are still alive. A lot of performances from up until the late 2000s are unavailable in decent quality

[@polarispictures5876]

I second this - 'and the conductor is' is one of the few channels that actually uploads recordings, especially from the 70s-90s.

What a memorable song! So sad to hear he passed away last Saturday... I've always loved this song

[@Isakbruford]

Rest in peace, this song is my personal winner of 1968!

[@harold-thedutchguy]

Listening to this song gives me 'Stress' But it is quite original and out of the box and I always respect that. Always sad to hear when a member of the Eurovision family passes away. May he rest in peace.

[@smurftums]

My favourite Eurovision song which reignited my interest in Eurovision. There are two versions of the song. One with an orchestra performed at Eurovision and a second upbeat jazz version recorded with the Kjell Karlsson Orchestra. Both are well worth listening to.

[@mortenmagnus9382]

This is such a gem. And probably the first song in the contest about :Stress. And with its sarcastic but most humourus lyrics performed so elegantly. By a groomed nerdy looking gentleman named Odd😂❤

What an amazing song especially for so many decades ago!

I think the 60s music and songs are much better than today's music .....

[@nikosts9993]

@@House..231Van Hmm Im born at 2001 so of course i like better today's music (pop, rock etc NOT trap) and the 60s music at least in Eurovision was a little boring to me. But sure they have kinda a magic sparkle!

Just recently I added this song to my playlist with my favorite Eurovision songs and in the evening of the same day I found out that Odd Børre was gone😢. Now this is one of my favorite songs from Norway along with "Voi, voi" by Nora Brockstedt and "Spiral" by Arne Bendiksen.🇳🇴😍💕

[@KJJ3DS]

And the song he was originally supposed to perform was withdrawn because it was too similar to a Cliff Richard song.

[@KJJ3DS]

@@Billy219 I know, I just referred to it as a Cliff Richard song to get the point across more clearly.

He sings «don’t forget to take-take-take-take-take your sleeping pills» which may be just as bad, depending on the context.
