Eurovision Fact #451:

Before taking part in 1985 as a member of the iconic Norwegian duo Bobbysocks, Hanne Krogh participated as a solo act in 1971. However, her song 'Lykken Er...' did not do as well, placing only 17th -- second to last.

"Un banc, un arbre, une rue" - Séverine

1971 Music: Jean-Pierre Bourtayre; lyric: Yves Dessca

Une chanson de Let's Do It, mes singles préférés de 1954 à 1976.

We all have a bench, a tree, a street, where our dreams went to beat, our childhood's been too short. Séverine performed the melancholic song - deep in the standard French style - at the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. The era when points were awarded from the set of Blankety Blank.

Séverine sells the song wonderfully. She knows when to be fragile, she knows when to be headstrong and confident. And she knows that it's a television contest, catching the camera with a beguiling look. Superlative vocal capacity, excellent show, and wonderful song.

At the time of this performance, Séverine was 22 years old; the Parisian recorded versions of this song in English and Deutsch, but everyone preferred the original. She's continued to record, and made several attempts to return to Eurovision but was usually beaten by the Ticketmaster bots.

MY FAVOURITE EUROVISION ENTRIES: DAY 31 - Monaco

I will admit, I’m not that familiar with the Monégasque entries in the contest as they stopped competing in 1979 except for their 3-year stint of not qualifying between 2004-2006.

So instead today I went with the one song from Monaco that I have listened to multiple times; that being,  Séverine’s - Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue, winning in 1971 for the only win for the country.

Apollo Program: Block I Command and Service Modules

The Apollo Command and Service Module (CSM) contract was award to North American Aviation on November 28, 1961. At the time, the plan was to land the entire CSM on the lunar surface via the direct ascent and the initial design did not include a means to dock with another spacecraft. Later on this was changed to the lunar orbit rendezvous and lunar landing would be preform via the Lunar Module. This required a major redesign of the CSM and in 1963, NASA decided the most efficient way to keep the program on track was to proceed with the development in two versions:

Block I: the preliminary version for early low Earth orbit test flights only.

Block II: the new lunar-capable version, which included a docking hatch, incorporating weight reduction and lessons learned from the Block I.

The CSM Block I was to be used for all uncrewed Saturn IB (AS-201 & AS-202) and Saturn V (AS-501 & AS-502) test flights, plus two manned missions. This was changed to only one in late 1966, being Apollo AS-204, aka Apollo 1. After the Apollo 1 fire all manned missions were to use the improved Block II versions.

Block I Command and Service Modules produced:

CSM-001: systems compatibility test vehicle, used on propulsion tests at White Sands Missile Range. Completed tests on September 7, 1968. CSM scrapped.

CSM-002: used for powered on tumble abort tests, flew on A-004 Little Joe II, January 20, 1966, at White Sands Missile Range. Modified to 002A.

CM-002A: used to in land drop tests. Modified to 002B

CM-002B: used on pogo tests at Downey, California. Modified to BP-23. On display

Storia Di Musica #315 - Blackfoot, Strikes, 1979

Per le Storie di Marzo ho individuato un metodo scientifico infallibile per scegliere la tematica che legherà i dischi di questo mese: ho preso a caso con gli occhi chiusi, un bottone nella scatola in cui tengo quelli di riserve, e ho pescato un bottone nero. Di per sè, il colore nero poteva aprire una infinità di opzioni, ma seguendo il principio della scoperta, in questo 2024, di band dimenticate, ho optato per dischi di band che hanno "nero" nel nome. Tralasciando le scelte più ovvie, il viaggio musicale marzolino inizia nella Florida di fine anni Sessanta, quando stava per prendere il volo il Southern Rock. Siamo a Jacksonville, capitale dello stile, e come molti stavano facendo in quei mesi, dei giovani mettono su una rock band: Rickey Medlocke (batteria, voce) e Greg T. Walker (basso) incontrano il newyorkese Charlie Hargrett (chitarra) e danno vita al gruppo Fresh Garbage Band con Ron Sciabarasi alle tastiere. Da qui inizia una serie infinita di cambi di formazione intorno ai primi tre che seguirà per decenni il destino dei nostri: infatti il primo a lasciare è Sciabarasi, si aggiungono altri musicisti provenienti da un'altra band, i Tangerine, cambiano nome in Hammer e con questa formazione per 6 mesi sono la resident band del più popolare topless club di Gainsville, in Florida, il Dub's. Provano ad andare a New York, e lì si accorgono che esiste già una più affermata band con lo stesso nome, quindi decidono di chiamarsi Blackfoot, in omaggio al popolo dei Nativi americani, dato che Jakson Spires, entrato dai Tangerine, è parte Cherokee, Medlocke parte Sioux, e Walker parte Creek. Ma la loro strada è ancora lunga: la band si scioglie diverse volte, alcuni di loro vanno a suonare con i Lynyrd Skynyrd (Medlocke e Walker, per alcuni mesi nel 1971, uscirà solo nel 1978, dopo l'incidente aereo che colpì il leggendario gruppo, il materiale registrato in quel frangente), si trasferiscono in New Jersey, dove con una formazione stabile registrano delle canzoni, che dopo varie peripezie nel 1975 vengono pubblicate dalla Island, che cercava nel proprio catalogo un gruppo Southern Rock, con il titolo No Reservation, e nel 1976 Flying High, stavolta per la Epic: sono due dischi di southern rock che non lasciano il segno e sopratutto non vendono quasi nulla. La band è sempre in fermento, e passano 3 anni (tra scioglimenti, defezioni per problemi alle corde vocali, dissidi) quando passano alla Atco, che suggerisce loro un approccio diverso alla scrittura. Ne esce fuori il disco di oggi, Strikes (1979), con il cobra sfocato in copertina, che li fa conoscere, dopo dieci anni, al grande pubblico. Merito è di una formazione finalmente definita (almeno per il momento) composta da Rickey Medlocke, Charlie Hargrett (chitarra ritmica), Greg T. Walker (basso) e Jakson Spires (batteria) ed una scaletta che alterna pezzi propri, tra cui i loro due maggior successi, e una scelta azzeccatissima di cover, suonate in maniera originale rispetto alle versioni degli autori. Il suono è più hard o AOR (che sta per adult oriented rock, il genere che maggiormente passavano le radio), e ha una sua natura interessante, per quanto costruita nei canoni del genere senza tante innovazioni.

Mi piace molto la scelta delle cover: I Got A Line On You fu un grande successo dei favolosi Spirit di Randy California, band mitica del rock Californiano del decennio precedente, e qui viene resa più groovy e tosta rispetto all'originale; Pay My Dues fu un successo dei Blues Image, altra band della Florida, di appena qualche anno prima dei nostri, che fu uno dei pochi esempi non californiani di rivisitazione del blues, alla maniera "europea", e che come i Blackfoot era famosa come resident band, non di un topless bar, ma di un famoso locale di Miami, il Thee Image, aperto alla sperimentazione; Wishing Well fu invece un successo dei Free, la band inglese di Paul Rodgers che prima di sciogliersi (lui andrà ai Bad Company) scrisse questa hit. Di tutte e tre, i Blackfoot ne fanno una versione particolare, dove i cambiamenti seppur minimi sono quelli incisivi, regalando alle nuove versione un vestito particolare e riconducibile al loro nuovo stile. Tra gli autografi, segnalo le loro due canzoni più famose: Train Train, scritta dal nonno di Rickey Medlocke, Shorty, che diventerà una hit anche per Dolly Parton e per un'altra band dell'heavy metal, i Warrant. Ma la loro canzone simbolo è Highway Song: oltre 7 minuti spericolati, dalla costruzione epica e imperiosa e che finiscono con sensazionali duelli di assoli alla chitarra, con all'inizio anche belle melodie vocali, canzone che è un grande omaggio all'epopea dei gruppi che dalla Florida hanno messo mattoni importanti all'edificio della Storia del Rock. Il successo arriva, quasi inaspettato, e la band fa da spalla a grandi nomi in tour nel 1979 negli Stati Uniti: fondamentale per loro quello in apertura ai The Who. La band cavalca l'onda e in due anni sforna altri due dischi niente male, Tomcattin (1980, con una Pantera in copertina) e Marauder (con un falco, 1981) e fa due tour seguitissimi. Qui però finisce la loro fortuna: l'arrivo, come uno tsunami, dell'estetica MTV li taglia fuori: il rock del sud è visto come un genere passato e addirittura la ATCO non accettò il loro disco che sarebbe dovuto uscire nel 1984, Vertical Smiles. La band conseguentemente va in crisi e si scioglie per l'ennesima volta. Va detto che non saprei nemmeno contare i vari avvicendamenti, ma considerando che tentano una reunion prima nel 1990 (pubblicando un nuovo disco, Medicine Man) e poi addirittura nel 2004 e nel 2021 sono sicuro che nelle varie formazioni hanno girato almeno 40 musicisti diversi, a dimostrazione di una voglia di musica francamente ammirevole.

Winners ranking oof

Below the cut. I don't hate any of them, as a side note

Personal favorites

1. Fairytale (Norway 2009) - When I found out about this, around the time I became an eurofan in 2018, I was in awe. It's so catchy and fun and omg I love the violin. Perfect

2. Nocturne (Norway 1995) - Want my anxiety to drop down to 0? play this song at any given moment

3. Waterloo (Sweden 1974) - Schalger pop songs from the 70s are my weakness. And how can you not love ABBA?

4. Dansevise (Denmark 1963) - There's something so charming about this whole performance. The singers' stage presence, the flow of the song, the guitar, like idk man it's so beautiful...

5. Heroes (Sweden 2015) - 12 y/o me had her eyes glued to the screen when this was on stage and whenever I re-listen to this I feel the same feeling as I did back then. The first ever eurovision song that I was obsessed with!

6. Arcade (Netherlands 2019) - Nothing more to say. Loving you is a losing game is a huge icon at this point

7. Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Luxembourg 1965) - I love the beat and how bouncy and cheerful it sounds. Her entire career story is so heartbreaking though I couldn't not feel bad for her...

8. Zitti e Buoni (Italy 2021) - Never forget the edgy italian rockers 😔😔

9. Tu te reconnaîtras (Luxembourg 1973) - I get such a nostalgic feeling from this, it's as if I've heard this several times in my childhood before but I can't exactly remember. The piano bits are so lovely

10. Fångad av en stormvind (Sweden 1991) - Why is everyone so harsh on this song, I'll never understand...I love how energetic it is!! It's probably my favorite Carola song tbh (okay I also really like Främling but shhhh)

11. Een beetje (Netherlands 1959) - Cute sassy song that could fit so well in an old disney movie? Yes please

12. Insieme: 1992 (Italy 1990) - Ah yes, the superior "peace and unity" song that actually feels genuine. I swear I've heard this before in the past actually, like before I listened to the esc winners

13. Hallelujah (Israel 1979) - Yes guys bring me the harmonies

14. La det swinge (Norway 1985) - Groovy nordic pop from the 80s my beloved, I love their outfits a lot! 💜

15. A-ba-ni-bi (Israel 1978) - It's so catchy like whenever I listen to this I have it on loop for 5 days straight

16. Vivo Cantando (Spain 1969) - I love this one too! Out of the 4 winners this or Netherlands were the best imo

17. Save your kisses for me (United Kingdom 1976) - Being this wholesome should be illegal /j

18. Un banc, un arbre, une rue (Monaco 1971) - Same story as Tu te reconnaitras, I kind of have the same feelings for both, I get this strange, nostalgic yet comforting deja-vu when I listen to them

19. The Voice (Ireland 1996) - It's so magical and mysterious, teleports me to another world everytime I listen

20. Puppet on a string (United Kingdom 1967) - This feels so wholesome and sweet, I always like these kind of carnival themed songs for some reason

21. De Troubadour (Netherlands 1969) - Love how melancholic yet upbeat it sounds, and the guitar is just amazing

22. Apres toi (Luxembourg 1972) - Makes me feel emotions that I didn't even experience, how great this is...

23. Molitva (Serbia 2007) - It's so anthemic, I feel connected to this song on a personal level

24. Euphoria (Sweden 2012) - It's universally known as the best esc winner, and I do like it but feel that it's a bit too overhyped and all? haven't willingly listened to this for a while, even though I still admire the choreography and whole stage show, which was indeed amazing!

25. L'oiseau et l'enfant (France 1977) - Favorite french winner, hands down

Really like this ones

26. My number one (Greece 2005) - Grown a bit off me lately because I've been way too fixated on the retro winners but still a classic nonetheless. The stage show is just so perfect

27. Rise like a phoneix (Austria 2014) - Outstanding. I'm so impressed by the melody and especially the lyrics

28. Rock me baby (Yugoslavia 1989) - Underrated as heck, it's so funky and the message is interesting!

29. Diggi-loo Diggi-ley (Sweden 1984) - Diggiloo diggiley himlen öppnade sig yeah don't ask me I know the lyrics to this by heart

30. Net als toen (Netherlands 1957) - She looks like she's telling a whole life story, I love this

31. Nous les amoureux (Luxembourg 1961) - Yet another one that I didn't care about before, but when I gave it a try I really liked it. Didn't know he was actually singing about a same gender relationship?? In the early 60s??

32. Love Shine a Light (United Kingdom 1997) - Gives me a warm, comforting feeling, absolutely amazing

33. Boom bang-a-bang (United Kingdom 1969) - Yesss this is so cute as well, I love her expressions lol

34. Hold me now (Ireland 1987) - The superior Johnny Logan song

35. Ne partez pas sans moi (Switzerland 1988) - A literal queen, this was a no brainer win for that year

36. Refrain (Switzerland 1956) - Teleports me into the 50s. Oh to be a singer in the 50s...how would that be?

37. Ding-a-dong (Netherlands 1975) - The lyrics are incredibly silly, though the melody is super catchy

38. Only teardrops (Denmark 2013) - So beautiful, especially the flute.

These are good

39. 1944 (Ukraine 2016) - The glowy tree part always gives me the chills. I recently started to appreciate this more and the story behind the song is very tragic

40. Hard Rock Hallelujah (Finland 2006) - The costumes are 3 edgy 5 me but the song, oh yeah, the song's really great

41. J'aime la vie (Belgium 1986) - What a bop. kind of 80s generic music but I don't care

42. Non ho l'eta (Italy 1964) - The instrumental is pretty, however, since I discovered the lyrics I just...don't like it as much anymore. It's probably my least favorite italian winner if I'm being honest.

43. All kinds of everything (Ireland 1970) - Might have gotten diabetes over how sweet this song is

44. Merci, cherie (Austria 1966) - That bridge is beautiful as heck. underrated

45. What's Another Year (Ireland 1980) - Yeaaah, I like this a bit, feels kind of long at times tbh

46. Take me to your heaven (Sweden 1999) - Tend to overlook this one, I feel like it's not as fun as the other swedish schalgers from the past (Bra vibrationer, Fångad, Waterloo) but gave it a try recently and I sort of...liked it? Sure, not as much as the ones I mentioned earlier but it's solid tbh!

47. Wild Dances (Ukraine 2004) - The live version is very messy tbh, I listen to the studio more

48. Un jour, en enfant (France 1969) - I love how soft her voice is, but ultimately the song transforms into powerful vocals with an epic climax. The thing is that I don't really actively try to listen to this...

49. Stefania (Ukraine 2022) - Epic flute guy is back! Kind of grew off me, maybe if I'll relisten it might go some places up I guess

50. Ein bißchen frieden (Germany 1982) - Please it's so cozy campfire cottagecore aesthetic

Neutral, don't listen that much to them

51. Making your mind up (United Kingdom 1981) - So energetic and silly, 80s trash lolol

52. In your eyes (Ireland 1993) - My favorite out of the 3 back-to-back irish winners

53. Rock n roll kids (Ireland 1994) - One of the legendary irish wins, it's good I guess but not up my alley

54. Amar pelos dois (Portugal 2017) - Reminiscent of those classy 60s chansons which I appreciate, still kind of don't get out of my way to actively listen to this, though

55. I wanna (Latvia 2002) - The first winner that had something more on stage than just dancing. Love the outfit reveal lol

56. Everyway that I can (Turkey 2003) - Trash early 2000s ethnic pop at its finest

57. Satellite (Germany 2010) - ...I kind of used to listen to this at first since I found it quirky and fun, but now, along with some others I kind of forgot about it?

58. Fly on the wings of love (Denmark 2000) - Not exactly my favorite, but it's nice

59. Si la vie est cadeau (Luxembourg 1983) - Feels a bit bland I guess? But it's a good effort

60. Believe (Russia 2008) - Maybe I was influenced about the war, but this really fell down a loooot in my ranking. Epic ice skater guy is great, but I tend to dismiss this one as being a winner for some reason

61. La la la (Spain 1968) - It's repetitive as hell, but at least I like the verses more, right?

62. Tom Pillibi (France 1960) - Her singing can get a bit too high for my ears lmao but it's nice nonetheless

Don't care about them that much, sorry

63. Running scared (Azerbaijan 2011) - It's not bad per se, but I still ask myself how did this win. It lacks substance, any sort of charisma or dynamic between the two

64. Toy (Israel 2018) - I used to haaate this one back in 2018, then it kind of became a meme in my friend group. So I don't really know what to say about this one

65. Everybody (Estonia 2001) - Very funky, but sometimes I forget that this is one of the winners 😂

66. Diva (Israel 1998) - Listen Dana is amazing, but I feel that her song lacks something? She wasn't singing that great either. Don't really find myself listening to it that much so...

67. Dors mon amour (France 1958) - it's very calming, but feels like it drags on for too long I guess?

68. Un premier amour (France 1962) - why is it so repetitive help

69. Why me (Ireland 1992) - it's...too whiny and dramatic for me, sorry, it's the winner that I listened the least so far 😔

MY TOP TEN SPAIN ENTRIES IN ESC (1961-1999)

hope you like it :)

10. VIVO CANTANDO [I LIVE SINGING] - SALOMÉ (1969, 1st PLACE)

desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando / vivo cantando / vivo cantando

[since you came into my life i no longer live crying / i live singing / i live singing]

Here we have, the second and for now the last win of Spain in Eurovision, Vivo Cantando!! I like it, but not as much as other songs in the list, and imo it gets a bit repetitive in the end, so that's why it's number 10.

9. BAILEMOS UN VALS [LET'S DANCE A WALTZ] - JOSÉ VÉLEZ (1978, 10th PLACE)

voulez vous danser avec moi? / ¿quieres que bailemos un vals?

[do you want to dance with me? / may we dance a waltz?]

The chorus of this song fucks so much, it's super catchy and perfect to scream at the top of your longs, but the rest of the song is a bit average, that's why it's so low.

8. EN UN MUNDO NUEVO [IN A NEW WORLD] - KARINA (1971, 2nd PLACE)

tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad / en un mundo nuevo y feliz

[all your dreams will come true / in a new and happy world]

KARINA MY BELOVED 🥰🥰🥰🥰 No but right now she has this role of adorable grandma everybody knows in Spanish pop culture, she's the best. Maybe my love for Karina played a major part on the placement of this song. Maybe. But the song is nice as well, it's not bad at all! And she got a movie made of her ESC experience which I have yet to see (it's also called 'En un mundo nuevo', if you want to watch it)

7. BANDIDO [BANDIT] - AZÚCAR MORENO (1990, 5th PLACE)

tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos / suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

[your absence in my nights conjures laments / sighs and cries, and a dark passion]

THEY INVENTED CAMP. No but this performance is everything, they're great and the song is a bop!!! I think we need more heavy (cante jondo) flamenco songs like this one with flamenco and especially roma artists like Azúcar Moreno to go to Eurovision (maybe not them tho, I loved that they were in the Benidorm Fest this year but you know...). Also that moment when the playback started playing wrong and they got mad and left the stage, iconique.

6. YO SOY AQUEL [I AM HE] - RAPHAEL [1966, 7th PLACE]

y estoy aquí, aquí para quererte / estoy aquí, aquí para adorarte / yo estoy aquí, para decirte / amor, amor, amor, amor

[and i'm here, here to love you / i'm here, here to adore you / i'm here, here to call you / love, love, love, love]

I still can't believe Raphael went to Eurovision. For comparision, it is like if Harry Styles represented the UK right now; absolutely insane behaviour. And the song is SOOO GOOD!!!! It is an excelent karaoke song, the chorus is super cathartic and the emotion is incredible. There was also a really iconic Trina commercial done with a parody of the song and it's *chefs kiss*, probably one of the best commercials ever done here. Also, Raphael's other song in Eurovision, Hablemos del Amor, is also pretty good, but I didn't want to have two of his songs in this top.

5. ERES TÚ [IT IS YOU] - MOCEDADES (1973, 2nd PLACE)

eres tú / como el agua de mi fuente / eres tú / el fuego de mi hogar

[it is you / like the water of my fountain / it is you / the fire of my hearth]

This song, man. It leaves this fuzzy feeling in my chest after listening to it, it's just incredibly wholesome and epic at the same time, I can't believe it didn't won cause it screams winning song. Also, of course, hearing it I'm reminded of the OT 2017 version of it, which also was pretty good I think (you thought I wouldn't talk about OT here, huh??? well you were so so wrong).

4. ESTANDO CONTIGO [BEING WITH YOU] - CONCHITA BAUTISTA (1961, 9th PLACE)

estando contigo, contigo, contigo / de pronto me siento feliz / y cuando te miro, te miro, te miro / me olvido del mundo y de mí

[being with you, with you, with you / suddenly i feel happy / and when i look at you, i look at you, i look at you / i forget about the world and about myself]

This was the first song Spain ever sent to Eurovision and oh my god we started with a banger!!!! Like it's so so good it's insane, it's a classic in Spanish pop culture and Conchita's performance was so so good!!! Incredible behaviour altogether. Also, this song is mostly known for being performed by child actor-turned-marxist and social activist legend Marisol and this gives me a perfect oportunity to plug the Marisol medley they did on OT 2020, which included fragments of this song, enjoy <3

3. LA, LA, LA - MASSIEL (1968, 1st PLACE)

todo en la vida es como una canción / te cantan cuando naces / y también en el adiós

[everything in life is like a song / they sing to you when you are born / and also in the goodbye]

The first win of Spain in ESC!!!!! This is one of those songs that may seem simple but then you actually listen to the lyrics (besides the la, la, las) and you start bawling your eyes off cause holy shit this deserved to win so much. It also justifies the presence of the la la las in the song which is insane!!! Anyways I love this song and I love Massiel and yeah, this right here was History of Spain <3

2. BAILAR PEGADOS [DANCING TOGETHER] - SERGIO DALMA (1991, 4th PLACE)

nuestra balada va a sonar / vamos a probar / probar el arte de volar

[our ballad is going to play / we are going to try / try the art of flying ]

Everytime this song plays I become a middle-aged woman screaming and crying and drooling after this man, I find myself guilty, I confess your honour. No but like when I was younger I was OBSESSED with this song. I definitely have cried listening to this song thinking about a crush, and I used to think this was the most romantic song in the world, even if it has the most cheesy and cringy verse ever 'bailar pegados es bailar / igual que baila el mar / con los delfines' [dancing together is dancing / just as the sea dances / with the dolphins] I still think it's a bop tho, an incredible song and performance altogether. Btw, Ruth Lorenzo covered this song in Benidorm Fest this year and yeah... I like it even more after that.

1. LA FIESTA TERMINÓ [THE PARTY IS OVER] - PALOMA SAN BASILIO (1985, 14th PLACE)

amor, perdón por lo de amor / me sale sin querer / tal vez porque te amaba / y ahora no, la fiesta terminó

[love, sorry for calling you love / i'm not doing it on purpose / maybe it's because i used to love you / and now i don't, the party is over]

This song makes me feel like very few songs do, I believe it's one of the best heartbreak songs ever, and of course it's excelent for karaoke. It's also therapeutic to sing it while crying, try it, I can say it works! So yeah, I just really love this song, it makes me feel lots of stuff and it's very very good :)
