You can easily call it a scandal that the contest was won that year by the banal song 'La la la' and this song, beautifully composed and performed by Endrigo, ended up in tenth place. But Eurovision wouldn't be alive today without a scandal or two.

Cliff Richard, who came in second that year, was so touched by this song that he recorded an Englisch version of it and released it as a single that same year.
