How, you might ask, did this miracle of miracles occur?
The answer is the answer to a great many things occurring in the world at the moment.
The Eurovision Song Contest is held every year with a different European country as host. This year it was going to be in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, in May, then Covid-19 happened, and that was the end of that.
Not to be deterred by this dastardly virus, the BBC decided to commission a ‘Eurovision Broadcast’, to decide which was the best Eurovision song, ever.
Here’s the bit about the selection process, but the most salient point about this whole story is that “Wateloo’ by ABBA won!
One of the best things to come out of 1974, in all it’s original glory …

The Eurovision was best when Sir Terry Wogan was the English commentator (and when he used to be under the serious afluence of incohol within seconds of taking his microphone). 😉

Although I’ve heard this loads of times, I have never seen the video before. Certainly a worthy winner.

I may or may not have worn clothes somewhat similar back in the 70’s! 😀

I liked ’em, but being of a seamstress-y inclination mine had to be the correct fabric and style. 😀 otherwise they just looked (even more) ridiculous. 🙂

I became 18 in 1974. An adult allowed to vote and buy a lawn mower. What a great year and perfect song.
