@@pauljames7333 Was about to comment that myself, the 80s fashion really didn't do them (or anyone really) any favor in terms of looking like their age 😂
@Swedisch Retro Tech Nerd Warum liebt ihr das Englisch mehr als eigenes Sprache? Ich weiß, daß das Norwegisch warscheinlich euer verwandte Sprache ist. Und Ich glaube, euer Sprache ist hörbar schönstes Sprache in Eurovision.
As a Norwegian I absolutely LOVE this song and I think it’s so much fun that we somehow won w a song in Norwegian❤ I’ve met Hanne (the one in the skirt) because she sang with the choir I’m a part of for a christmas ‘show’ and she is an absolute sweetheart:)
I watched this back in 1985 at the age of 8 and just LOVED it! And when you won, my mother told me: "This is very unusual, Norway usually NEVER wins!" LOL Today I still love it, it is my favourite of all the ESC winners. Love from Denmark
Fun facts: Elisabeth Andreasson lost one ear ring just before going up on stage, sp they were looking for it in the baxk. They were late, that's why they ran in. In fact she "created" a new fashion in Norway with that, because after Eurovision, "everyone" should wear one ear ring then!
In 1985, Norway had already finished last in Eurovision 6 times. Still, they kept producing quirky, weird songs like this and finally it just works. This song proves that you can beat your head against the same wall for years, and still make it in the end. Much love to Norway! Well deserved win.
I'd have given them 12 points just for not tripping in the steps or slipping down the ramp as they came running in... Love their performance - they clearly enoyed every minute!
Brilliant song by Norway and totally deserved to win. Shame that countries don't sing in their own languages anymore, preferring instead some kind of fake Beyoncé-accented English.
I agree and I loved it when they got the award at the end of the show and the presenter said you really deserve it as you never win. It still makes me burst out laughing when I hear that bit. 😂
I was spending this night a friend's house, because my parents were away. When I woke up, I had to ask my friends parents if I had dreamt, or had Norway finally won the ESC??
You can try to imagine how Finland felt when they won ... got more points that one time than in the entire history of the Eurovision Song Contest COMBINED up to that point!!
My grandmother watched the song part and went to bed. My grandfather watched it to the end. When he went to bed she woke up and asked him: who won? Norway he said. "Stop kidding me now... tell me who won?" IT WAS NORWAY... When the News papers came out on Sunday she finally believed him, though....
This moment changed my life. I was actually asleep when they won, but I have liked them ever since. Elisabeth Andreassen got married to her husband at the church in the town I grew up as she was having concerts there that summer and liked the church. Unfortunately her husband died a few years ago. Hanne (with skirt) have been famous in Norway since she was playing Sonja in the Norwegian Christmas classic movie when she was 16. This movie is aired on Christmas every year and have been for over 40 years. Hannes daughter played Sonja in a theather version of the movie last year. Growing up she didn't know it was her mum that played Sonja in the film, and she ones told her mother that the girl in the movie reminded of her. Her mother didn't really give her any answer so she didn't know until a few years later when she saw her name on the role listing as she then could read. Hanne didn't want her daughter to be influenced by her mother being famous and I had never seen her until last year as she wasn't promoted so much in media and her family have been a long kept secret except for an intewiev in 1985 when she was interwieved about her husband that she married in 1979. She also have a son that is older than her daughter.
These two girls were described as a "couple" (of colleagues) in the British TV commentary and all this time I just assumed that they were romantically a couple too. Oh gee. I'm rather disappointed now!
@karmasdoor I haven't met them yet, but they're still very much alive. Elisabeth a.k.a Bettan was perticipating in the latest season of "Hver gang vi møtes jubileum" just a few days ago, it was taped this summer, and Hanne and her daughter was leading a fundraiser show for the Norwegian Salvation army just a few days ago, and Hanne will also be onscreen tomorrow as her younger self in "Reisen til julestjernen" (The journey to the Christmas star directly translated) as this film is sent on NRK1 every year on Chrismas eve morning and has pretty much been since the film was sent for the first time in 1975 or so, it has been there all my life, and I was born in 1976. Bobbysocks don't exist as a band anymore, and hasn't been for 2 decades or so. Both are still singing though.
@karmasdoor Hanne Krogh is now in this season of "Hver gang vi møtes" whitch translates to "everytime we meet" that is a Norwegian show where old and younger singing artists meet on a farm in Norway to share some old memories and stories and to cover one song from each of the other artists. This show is very popular here in Norway and this is season 11 so it has been on for some years now. This show let us in on some of their private experiences and the real stories behind the headlines in the newspapers. Some of the newspaper headlines was not right at all. It's a very good show, but I have to have my tissue paper in hand as it always make me cry and that is why I call it "everytime we cry" instead. The title of the program actually is a song title from another popular artist in Norway called Halvdan Sivertsen. It's on Norwegian tv 2.
I always find it so funny how it sounds when they sing. It sounds like English but funny. ;) And the song is happy. A very big Waterloo inspired song. Same intro, same rhythm, both rock and roll.
I wasn't even born but this is like one of my favorite songs ever, just because....look at them...insecure at first but when they hit that first high note together, the chemistry....and just like that, they owned Europe ❤️✌🏻
Canción con mucho ritmo, excelentes momentos y toque navideño. Tema interesante, moderno pero conservador, vibrante y agradable. Bobbysocks cantan genial y muy desenvueltas, se notan sus tablas! Su primera posición con 123 Puntos, primera victoria, es una hazaña! Era mi gran favorita, lo recuerdo con toda nitidez. Ayer y hoy 12 Puntos.
esta cancion no le llega a los tacones a la gran paloma sam basilio, injusto la puntuacion que ganaran por musica industrias sobre el talento de otros concursantes
I'm suffering from a severe case of the Mandela effect, my memory of was that the song was sung entirely in English and that they received nul points for it.
I remember that was the last Eurovision Song Contest I saw for ages because next year i would leave for the compulsory service in my country then went to work and on saturday nights I always was outside so no longer TV. I didn't like the song presented by my country (it was about Albano & Romina...) so I hoped in the Swedish Kikki Danielsson and the Norwegian duo. I was lucky :)
Tja, DAS waren halt noch ESC-Sieger! Die kennt man auch mehr als 35 Jahre später noch. Nicht so, wie die aktuellen Sieger, die man am Tag danach schon nicht mehr hört, geschweige denn kennt!
Så fint eg kan synge mit refreng med den melodien:Du er en stor sol for meg du er gull og diameter min hjerte venn å å å hei og hå du er en stor skatt for meg
...and some years later when people realise that the composer of this song is the same that created "You raise me up".....and no, its NOT Josh Groban ;)
There were only 19 countries giving one set of points, so the absolute maximum score they could've received was 19x12 = 228 points. In 2021, there were 39 countries giving two sets of points, so the maximum score Måneskin could've received was 39x12x2 = 936 points. Also, fun fact: ABBA's Waterloo won with just 24 points.

I just love that for one year everyone’s crazy, drunk aunts at a wedding got to win Eurovision.
You'r comment captured this performance/time in space and time perfectly! Thank you:)
The crazy addition to this is that they were both actually in their 20’s during this performance. Yes, really! 😆
@@pauljames7333 Was about to comment that myself, the 80s fashion really didn't do them (or anyone really) any favor in terms of looking like their age 😂
yes, they were 27 (Elisabeth) and 29 (Hanne)😁
That comment is just dead on ❤
Running down that ramp in those heels is an automatic win.
Loved it when countries sang in their own language
agreed..
at least the top 3 of 2021 was in their own language. italian, french and switzerland version of french i think
I actually prefer the English version of this song tbh

Music that brings a smile to your face. EVERY time....
One of the best Gran Prix songs ever - in my opinion.
Great song. All of Norway's winners were bloody fantastic. Nocturne is my favourite ESC song ever.
Love the energy of this duo. They make me wanna dance!
The song is also charming. All in all, a truly legendary winner!
Love from Turkey!
Aman Tanrım yalnız değilmişim! Şarkı feci eğlenceli değil mi?

One of them is eventually gonna break… and Norwegians have thick fucking skulls.

Elisabeth actually lost one of her earrings when entering the stage. People thought it was a new fashion she had created...
i think one of them said something like "I know we are not gonna win this ... but let's go out there and sing like we are!"
And they sure as Hell did!
As an American i liked this song very much
I am Turkish and this is my christmas song.... Well deserved winner. Love you Bobbysocks!!!

This song was the WINNER for Norway in Eurovision Song Contest in 1985.
The language is Norwegian, but you can find it in English, too. 😅
ENJOY!😅🎶

Well, it will be in Sweden so who knows? And more: this year's hosting city started on L just like in 1984....
And i can still sing the chorus...😊
Is Elisabeth missing an earring?

Tja, DAS waren halt noch ESC-Sieger! Die kennt man auch mehr als 35 Jahre später noch. Nicht so, wie die aktuellen Sieger, die man am Tag danach schon nicht mehr hört, geschweige denn kennt!
I can unnotice the hyped up back up vocals guy in the white. He definitely had a line in the bathroom before hitting the stage. C'mon it was th 80's.
The conductor's (Terje Fjærn) heart was racing, so he counted the beat to the song too fast.
I think it was a happy accident! :)
The 80's were a bad decade for prematurely aging. They were only in their late 20's here😮.

And wrote Nocturne 1995. Very talented composer.

Really this song is the winner?
Swinger's song⁉️
Norwegian music has 2 sides: Darkthrone… and this. And the inbetween doesn’t exist.
God sang, blot ærgerligt med den dårlige lydkvalitet
This was the winner? I have to say I'm very surprised, nothing too special.
A lot better than the crap that won on Saturday just gone
Back then, when music wasen't political, just good. Brings back fine memories...
In the seventies you could actually hear a good song in Eurovision song contest. In the 80's everything came down.
que te cagas de ritmo pero qué dice la letra? no importa
This song won the Eurovision with only 123 points. That's very low compared to Måneskin with 524.
New countries, different systems and methods have changed the outlook numbers
of course it’s low because now we have televoting and twice as many countries
There were only 19 countries giving one set of points, so the absolute maximum score they could've received was 19x12 = 228 points. In 2021, there were 39 countries giving two sets of points, so the maximum score Måneskin could've received was 39x12x2 = 936 points.
Also, fun fact: ABBA's Waterloo won with just 24 points.
Happy song but not great singers
Very bad
very rubish
I'm a Norwegian. How the shit could this win? The fake haired Limahl were so much better.
