La la la - Merino Costa

Released in 1968, shortly after Spain's historic Eurovision Song Contest win, Merino Costa released this cover version of Massiel's song 'La la la'. Essentially, it's a cash-in on her success, as this version is not too far removed from the original.

There are various cover versions of 'La la la' around, actually. Which is quite strange since the song was put down by critics and the viewing audiences after it won. Apparently it was still worth cashing in on the song's success...

My collection: 7" single no. 5180
Found: Chelsea Records, Antwerpen, June 9, 2011
Cost: 2 euro
