The Portuguese girl group Doce represented their country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1982 with the song 'Bem Bom'. I wasn't aware until very recently that they also recorded their song in Spanish. The single was titled 'Bingo (Bem Bom)', which doesn't tell you much about the actual language of the song - it could have been English, Dutch or anywhere else where the word 'Bingo' is part of the national vocabulary.
But it is a Spanish version, translated by J.R. Flores. The musketeer outfits which they wore on the Eurovision stage and on the sleeve of the Portuguese single 'Bem Bom' had to go in favour of sexier clothes and big motorbikes. I'm not sure why.
