Who’s here because of Malmö’s postcards 2024?
Yes, i do😂
Yep, pleased me greatly. Nice they got a little recognition for a guilty pleasure of mine. The close-up on the enthusiastic and very 1980s looking drummer amuses me and the backing guy going "oh yeah" is just funny. One of Ralph Siegel's greatest contributions to the Contest.
Me
This entry should've been performed last just to reward everyone that has sat through nothing but ballads in this competition year.
The draw was cruel in 1994.
Germany 1990-1993: This dream will never die
Germany 1994: *WE'RE GIVING A PARTY*
Anybody else here after ESC 2024 - unrated camp classic.
This is pure 90s. :-) Love it.
I LOVE THIS ONE, ONE OF MY FAVORITES GERMAN ENTRY EVER.
The German Spice Girls. But they was the first! 30 years! Partyyyy🎉
They're having a party alright. This was the favorite that night, with the shortest odds to win. It sure is a blast, taking some 90s dance sound (think Whigfield and Rednex) and giving it a Eurovision makeover. The three girls all performed it wonderfully too. Yeah, I like this one.
Yes, it’s my personal winner of 94
indeed, nice sampling
Is there a site where I could find the odds for old eurovision contests? Or do you just happen to remember that they were the favourites? :)
@@Axer_ The Austrian commentator that year (my copy was the Austrian broadcast) said that Germany were the favorites that night.
@@Axer_ , in the live broadcast on RTP (Portugal), the commentator said "this is the big favorite to win".
This German entry should of won in 1994 it was the best song of the night, it was a great party track sang in English and German very cleaver pop band, it would of made me happy if the song had won that year in the 1990s, I love dance hits similar to this one, I really loved this dance pop beat it was very entertaining. Can I tell you something I've been writing dance songs like this German entry one with my keyboard music. Dance songs are better than slow love ballet songs The dance music makes me happy. Thank you.
I agree!
One of my favorite ESC Songs from the past
1994 was such a strong year for songs .I have at least 5 winners in the bunch
94 is my favourite year for songs!
Das waren noch tolle Grand Prix-Beiträge !!!!
Should have won. Brilliant.
Thank god, Germany gave party in the middle all the ballads! Love that song!❤️
If the was Telly voting this would have won
27 years ago. fantastic song.
I remember this may nana was German and got me a tape of it from Germany after Eurovision when she went to visit her German family.great song it was.beautiful ladies too
Toll gemacht, Mädels! Das waren noch Eurovision-Zeiten - nicht wie dieser krächzende Käse, den man heute einfach serviert kriegt!
Wer ist das an den Trommeln?
That should have won
I only started watching that song the other day
Very catchy
Einfach nur geil
My earliest Eurovision memory 🥰
Good presentation,nice song.
12 points from Sweden!
And 12 points from Spain, too!
Eurovision was brilliant between 1990 and 1999 then it went down the pan
2001-2006 was pretty bad in my opinion, but since then it's gotten a lot better.
Edward Graph I meant more in relation to the fact that my quoted time period was less politically motivated/influenced and way less commercialised. It's turned into a European XFactor now..... But yes, our entries during 2001-2006 were poor..
AWESOME
12 points from KOSOVO beautiful and the best song.
Still love this song ❤️ Yes it should have won? ❤❤❤
Better than average for that Eurovision era. It is an upbeat, real bop.
The UK should try doing something similar to this, then they might start climbing the ranks.
Rozweselająca piosenka:-)Akurat muszę się rozweselić:(
Siostry Kopciuszka i macocha!!! Love from poland!!! 🥰🥰
I remember that during the whole week they were not allowed to make party with us by the production.
Go to bed before 10 pm !!!
The Irish press wrote "not party for Mekado !"
The girl on the right was the funniest of the band.
i saw this and your other comments, awesome story! Do you have more stories about that year or perhaps another esc years?
@@Finnishkebab actually I was head of delegation for France during many years.
Yes I have : first Italian rehairsal for Italy in 1992. EBU asked Italian conductor to change the beginning of the song because it was too long (3'10).
and !! Mia Martini didn't know the lyrics of her song and had to sing with a small paper in her hand.
But so class !!!
@@Finnishkebab I worked on the ESC for french Tv from 1991 to 2001.
@@abfab849 thank you mister
We were so good in this period
Merci monsieur
Nous étions si bon dans cette période
@@abfab849 That's incredible! I wish you could share more things about it!
- Do you know any curiosity about my country, Spain?
- How lived the France television the tie in 1991? Was Amina sad?
- Do you know it was always said that Spain didn't want to win in 1995 with Quédate Conmigo?
- Same happened with Italy in 1997 with Fiumi di Parole. In fact, it was Italian broadcaster called the other broadcasters and told them no to vote for them!
- Turkey had also problems in 1997 because the song exceeded the 3 minutes
- It is true that in 1991 there were MANY problems because they had to change the location due the Yugoslavian war???
Did not know this song was on this account! Great track, one of Ralph and Bernd’s best. Very solid top four that year, and any of them could’ve won (but I’ll say the right one did)
I'm starting to quite like the Irish song, though I felt there juries did a massive footshooting exercise re how well Portugal and Malta did.

I think this song was geoblocked for a number of years, I think?
best song in 1994 !
we can hear "tic tic tic" giving the "top" to the girl playing drums in playback
and we can see her counting too (!!)
90% studio tape
I know from other comments over the years that you are a supporter of the live orchestra and live music in general. So why are you often trying to downplay the role of the orchestra in songs like this one? The strings and brass arrangement is quite extensive. If they were taken away it would have changed the character of the piece. Based on what I hear I would have said 30 % rythm track, 30 % live orchestra and 40 % live vocals.
The Winer for me
Muy festivalera,gustó desde el principio,merecido 3º puesto¡
Ve are having a cool Party, vhere a very super-fun time vill be being had by all ze guests. Or else.
The fact that I can’t stream this song bothers me
My country Hungary was ranked right behind Germany 4th place, love both from Hungary.
War ganz gut :3
Does anyone please have the preview video to this GREAT Eurosong?
I still love this. But 1994 was a good year for UK also. Francis Ruffelle may be my all-time fav.
2024❤😊from Greece🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷👍👍👍👍❤❤😊😊😊❤😊❤
I was sitting on the right face to the stage 4th rank so very very close to the orchestra.
It was easy for me to see who was really playing live !
I can confess that only some trumpets during the chorus played very loud.
Some violin lines.
90% was on a tape !!
What about the United Kingdom entry?
@@JeSuisRene violins play a lot on the 2d part and of course during "the bridge" at the end but all the beat and guitar are playback
EBU stopped orchestra for financial reasons and because they say it was "old fashioned" ...
In Sanremo they have live music with sometimes tapes but songs are hits there !
@@abfab849 I know, I completely stand with the idea that the orchestra should be brought back!
@@JeSuisRene You're very right ! it gives a kind of warm color to the songs. Now it's too plastic. And give us back national languages please !!!
Too many countries too
I think we're both from the old generation when the contest was a real event in Europe.
@@abfab849 yes, absolutely!
I only became a fan of the Eurovision in the late 2000s, but having discovered the 1990s eurovisions, I so much prefer it (being a musician myself) how it was!
I have no idea how my country beat this and Poland.
Your country also had beaten Julio Iglesias back in 1970 :(((
+PendulumFTW Because the juries had a boring taste of music then. I can't that Hungary didn't won that year
Poland would have won if Edyta Górniak wouldn’t have sang parts of her song in English during rehearsal
Germany twelwe points
Allemagne Douze points
Ooh... feel the rhythm, baby
Where's a party?
Where's a party tonight?
Is there anybody flying with me to the moon?
I need a kick to have a successful evening
Where's a party?
Where's a party, baby?
Mmm... it's so simple, I just want to have fun
Preferably everything and not just something
Where's a party?
Where's a party tonight?
Well then, shake it, take it, make it all right
Again, once more, because today is today
So if we're gonna do it, let's do it right, it will be a long night
So rock me, baby, everything is the same today
The longer the better, and once again
Come on, let's do what gives fun and pleasure
We're giving a party, we're giving a party
We're giving a party, we're giving a party
Whoa... a party tonight
I have that feeling in my stomach, tonight I will find the man
Mmm... who really will turn me on
Where's a party?
Where's a party, baby?
I have exactly the same hip hop feeling as you
Don't stay at home, I know what I'm going to do
Where's a party?
Where's a party tonight?
Well then, shake it, take it, make it all right
Again, once more, because today is today
So if we're gonna do it, let's do it right, it will be a long night
So rock me, baby, everything is the same today
The longer the better, and once again
Come on, let us do what gives fun and pleasure
We're giving a party, we're giving a party
We're giving a party, we're giving a party
Whoa... a party tonight
(We're giving a party, we're giving a party)
We're giving a party (Oh yeah)
We're giving a party (Oh yeah)
We're giving a party (Oh yeah)
We're giving a party
Whoa... a pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-party tonight
(We're giving a party)
A pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-party
Look at this guy, he's always looking over here
You're talking about this one, no he likes me much more
With the one I mean, you both won't have a chance
Better we forget them, come on let's dance
Dance, yeah, dance, yeah
Dance (dance)
At a party tonight
(We're giving a party)
(A pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-party)
Whoa... a party tonight
One of my favourite Eurovision entries ever. Now I know the lyrics 😀😀😀
Brilliant, thanks 🙂
Die mit der Mütze ist übrigens Dorkas Kiefer.
Irgendwie haben Zwei ne Mütze auf :-)
top 3, could easly be the winner...
One out of two. Not bad
Top 4
"3 aufgebrezelte Hoppelschnitten geben ne Tupperparty und keiner kommt" - O. Kalkofe 1994
Ich wäre hingegangen, hätten sie mich doch nur eingeladen!
Systur (🇮🇸‘22) on drugs be like:
This made me chuckle ngl
Наша российская группа "Блестящие" так же поёт
Не,объективно эти лучше.Голосистые.
(вспомните "восточные сказки"с блестящими-кровь из ушей,и эту же песню где Араш поёт с Ребеккой).
А вот у Лады Дэнс-да,голос похож.
Allons bon
I think Ralph Siegal compose this
Alan Davies on keyboard 😂
Wer war 1994 auch schon volljährig? 😮😊
Ich!
Best song ever!!!
What is this
Sounds like 2 Unlimited - No limit
In my opinion, this year's was the only Irish entry who didn't deserve to win. Germany and Poland were much better
Can't agree with you
Ein dritter platz! Das müssen andere erst mal schaffen!
I agree with you
Germany and Russia was so better then Ireland,Poland for me that year.
Poland deserved the win
it should have won
All right, people who complain that Ralph Siegel's recent songs for San Marino are old fashioned - listen: THIS song is what a truly old-fashioned song sounds like.
+SamuelC But there is a difference between being delightfully retro, like this one, and being just dull as dishwater, like his newer attempts. Notice also how this one came 3rd place, while the San Marino entries have mostly flopped.
This should have won over Ireland, no wonder it was the bookies' favourite!
Germany was robbed, Tune!
Wonderful! From the good old days when Germany ruled the Eurovision Song Contest :-)
Nowadays Germany is the worst country ;-(
Please Bring the good music back!
Dorkas Kiefer?😳
Ja ein paar Monate später wurde sie dann Soap Star bei "Unter Uns" ;-)
Comedy music like Denmark this year.
1994 or 1974?
94.
Sieht nicht aus als die Chicas dabei Spass!
Ireland had NOTHING ON THIS. Sorry
Ein unsinne
ууу ты хороший парень - но я не буду , но я не буду с тобоооой !!! Я не хочу тебя обидеть ничем - я так устала от ненужных проблем , но я не буду , но я не буду , но я не буду с тобоооой ! Если честно - кавер Лады ( Волковой ) Дэнс гораздо круче - это мое мнение , хотя мне и эта версия по душе - а победила почему-то занудная Ирландия , а не заводная Германия
У лады-дэнс в разы хуже
@@user-pm7sw9pw6m ну кому как - песня Лады - это детство - а этот клип я недавно увидел - я даже удивился , что песня не победила на Евровидении - знаю победила Ирландия
@@userretrochannalSergeyIvanov ну,поскольку я это евровидение смотрел,то прекрасно понял, откуда лады-дэнс взяла песню. Что касается конкурса, то в 90-е , в принципе, побеждали только баллады, по крайней мере , до 98 года, и Ирландия тогда их пачками поставляла
@@user-pm7sw9pw6m все ясно
1994 und 3. PLatz...wo sind bloss diese Zeiten Deutschland geblieben und wann kommen sie zurück?
It should have won because it was by far the best that year : only ABBA's Waterloo is better in the history of EUROVISION
Ach du Scheiße...🤣🤣🤣
Oh wie schrecklich! 🤣😂😅
Dreadful. It was one of the worst years ever in the contest.
I liked this year. Ireland was amazing as was Germany.
I'm truly amazed that in 1994 they already had synths that required no cables for sound or power transmission :D
