Cliff Richard was robbed at Eurovision 1968

[PuppyMonkey]

Well, bugger.

shocker

DH is peeing himself laughing that it was franco who nobbled it for him.

This is a brilliant story . His little dance on his heels is fantastic

I think Gina G was robbed in '96 too. Not that I expect Franco had anything to do with it.

'OOh Ahh just a little bit' UQD

I thought Gina G was going to win it as well

It's been a source of misery for me for several years that she didn't clinch the title.

Now I know that nobbling goes on at this previously thought of as "incorruptible" event, I shall rest easier knowing that in actual fact, Gina G should have won, and twas, if not franco, some other dictator who scuppered her chances.

Couldn't give a flying feck about sir cliff though

Bum-ba-dum-ba-dum-dum

European naaations, deliberaaations,
Meant nothing because Franco nicked my victor-ee
Commiseraaations, are no placaaation,
I was robbed (and so was ginger Gina G)

(very good, dadada)

Bloody fascists... if they're not invading other countries and killing people, they're standing in the path of the divine righteousness of Sir Cliff.

Hanging's too good for them...

Makes you wonder what happend with Sonia. And Michael Ball.

And Love City Groove.

Oh, no, I know what happened there. They were shite.

Sonia's career path took a downward turn when she went against her business manager's advice to cover all of Tina Charles's hits. Needless to say where is she now?

Love City Groove! Brilliant . Wasn't that the first ever rap one?

Poor old Cliff. Robbed him of any chance of a singing career and he sank into drunken obscurity. I feel sooooooooooooooooo sorry for him.

Who cares? The Euro Song thing is total crap.

yes, Barnstaple. Total crap.

Good though!

if ever there were a clear case of Eurovision nobbling, surely twas Gemini?

I mean someone made their equipment fail so they sounded flat and tuneless, someone caused their ridicule and someone should pay

This year's entry is awful.

I've heard it about 3 times and I still can't remember how it goes.

They should have picked The Revelations!

Is it as bad as last year's effort?

now there's someone who definitely was not robbed of a victory

I still reckon Morrissey would do it if we all asked him really nicely.

Hopefully he'll re-release it just before Christmas.

Best Eurovision winner? Surely it has to be Herreys: Diggiloo Diggiley

Man, those boys knew how to rock.

Just seen the Herreys. Perfect Eurocrap. Nice clean-cut young guys in white trousers and silver high heels - guaranteed to catch the 6yo audience. Am tempted to download it for (8yo) dd but if she liked it dh would drown her.
