As well as the great Walking On Sunshine, Rew also wrote the bell-like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZGwY49TXWs" rel="nofollow">Going Down to Liverpool</a> , which was a hit for the Bangles. Love Shine A Light, the actual Waves song that won Eurovision, the last time the UK won, wasn't as strong as either of those but it was still pretty good.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-18754271624241639402022-05-16T11:46:44.256+01:002022-05-16T11:46:44.256+01:00Oh God, I forgot that one - or more probably traum...Oh God, I forgot <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUqf_zO2QaI" rel="nofollow">that one </a>- or more probably trauma-blanked it.

Here's the official video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Z51no1TD0" rel="nofollow">Stefania</a> although it's a bit grim compared to the shiny Eorovision performance. Weirdly, there doesn't seem to be an official video for Space Man yet but here's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsVg6tVtxW8" rel="nofollow">a lyric version</a> .<br /><br />With luck, those are viewable worldwide. If you're interested, I'm sure you can find the rest somewhere!

I remember being quite into it in my teens (in a half-ironic way) and getting Katrina and The Waves and the Olsen Brothers stuck in my head, but then my interest just drifted away.<br /><br />And of course I heard about it when Conchita Wurst won for Austria in 2014, making it the country's first win since the 60s! That was pretty delightful.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-35790042216720610502022-05-16T03:28:40.126+01:002022-05-16T03:28:40.126+01:00Of the lot I have only heard Moldova's train r...Of the lot I have only heard Moldova's train rap and I'm too delighted with that being how I think of Eurovision to watch anything else.XyzzySqrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492223901575470508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-90433080620336670972022-05-15T23:50:10.459+01:002022-05-15T23:50:10.459+01:00Oh how nice.
