I remember when I was a kid and saw Bobbysocks win Eurovision, it was pure magic indeed. Mom and dad made me and my sister minty milkshakes, they did that every year - you can't watch Eurovision without that! I loved this song so much. Wow, this brings back such great memories. My dad passed away many years ago but I can still taste the milkshake and I still think this song kicks *ss!
i love the story over this. Both the girls thought they had little chance of winning (Norway - nil points!) but decided to go out and really belt it out in the belief they had nothing to lose. That attitude really shows in a terrific performance and they won the thing!! Great days....
Hanne explained in an interwiev that just before they went on stage that night she said to Elisabeth: " We come from Norway, we can never ever win this, but we are sure gonna look as if we did"
@@EC2019 this was the reprise performance (as part was sung in English which, at the time, would not have been alowed in the contest as the native language only rule was still in force) after they had won so I think we can forgive them that
This is TRUE Eurovision spirit - Glimmer, glitter, swinging tunes and loads and loads of happiness! La det altid swinge, mine Skandinaviske fæller! Let's get the real soul back into ESC next year, shall we? :D
1985. One of the truly great Eurovisions. The set and production were light years ahead of their time, the host was exemplary and a wonderful victory by the underdogs.
English subs From a radio it streams old melodies And when I wake up and ask my self what is going on Is it just a dream and fantasy When I feel that it is just swinging more and more Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let it swing until you loose all controll oh, hi ho. Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let the music go, let the rythm never stop Can you feel that you live here and now Do you feel how much you wanna dance Ohhh. And do you hear you heart beat pump and go Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let it swing until you loose all controll oh, hi ho. Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Duam, duam, duam, duam........ Do you feel how much you wanna dance do you hear you heart beat pump and go, and goooo Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let it swing until you loose all controll oh, hi ho. Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let it swing and let it rock'n roll Let it swing until you loose all controll oh, hi ho. Let it swing and let it rock'n swing and let it rock'n swing and let it rock'n rooooolll!
It's the strangest thing... an 'ordinary' pop song like this, can provoke so much emotion, of memories of hearing, of buying and being so happy they won - having no idea of Norway.. what it was, where it was - even what 'countries' meant growing up.... No borders, no language barriers, no prejudice.... just music - and it made me happy - and it still does today. Thank you xxx 😘
@@stangneshakon Hehe.. might it be the other way round; that we are the happiest country because we have the happiest language? I don't know.... The chicken and egg conundrum. .... On a more serious note... you may actually be onto something... Very interesting.
Amazing song. I remember when I was younger, watching Eurovision with my family. We were so shocked that norway had won especially when they thought they wouldn't win, and even though I wasn't Norwegian i was so happy and filled of joy, and proud. That was a amazing night, one of the best contests and winners.
I won a lot of money betting that they would win When I placed the bet with the bookmaker he laughed at me If I remember right the year before Norway had got no points When they came out and started singing I knew they were going to win I watched it with my friend and told him I will give you some of the winnings
Thanks for that Such a long time ago If I remember right Norway had a number of zero points for a few years around this time. That was the reason he laughed at me when I placed the bet.
It's sort of weird how the Eurovision has sort of flipped over in terms of success. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Norway, Greece and Turkey were usually at the bottom of the scoreboard while France, UK and Ireland got victory after victory. Greece, Norway and Turkey have all gotten victories since the year 2000, while France, UK and Ireland haven't.
I was living in the UK at the time and Carlsberg had an add where they had listed some very unlikely things - one of them being Norway winning the Eurovision. And then it happened!!! I was definitely more Norwegian than Danish the night they won. Great song, great memories :-D
Another great Eurovision winner which I've said many times im my favourite Eurovision playlist so far and I'm only 12 songs out of 40 through it so far.
Fun fact. Rolv Løvland ( man on the keyboard ) wrote this song. 10 years later he wrote Norways second win in esc (Nocturne) but most famues song he ever wrote when being a member of secret garden is the world hit YOU RAISE ME UP
kann ich nur zustimmen!!!!! Der Grand Prix war mal so viel Spass und ich schau das seit ich Kind war in den 70ern....schade dass alle sich so ernst nehmen heutzutage wie dieser Typ der heuer gewonnen hat...
this is one of the best eurovision entries ever. I just love all songs from those glory days. It shoud be again like that. Kick out all eastern contries, lets reunited Yugoslavia again and we could have 22 countries again on ESC
Was this their winning song performance? Stage looks the same, but the performance is much lighter with joyous squeeking and then the english ending. Love all of their performances. And in 2018, the ladies could STILL let it swing!
You know, Bobbysocks won with 123 points, and I did read in somewere some critics because 123 points is the lowest winning score in the ESC history. But I think all the opposite, as that means for that particular ESC, several countries sent good songs and well known artists, so the votes were heavily scattered (not like nowadays), so Bobbysocks and Norway must be VERY PROUD to have won in those competitive conditions. Viva Bobbysocks and those 2 talented ladies!
totally agree with you more.. i miss those kind of songs too and I'm a huge Eurovision fan...ever since I was a kid back in the 70s. The festival was fun up until the early 90s; then it went downhill and all we get is some dreary ballad from some Eastern European country nowadays.....so sad!!!
I think i need to go read some Harry Potter fanfics now to counter the overwhelming positive energy these songs had given me. I wonder if i could have been happy if i had been born in those times.

I saw it too!
Thank you for sharing this lovely memory!
Thanks for this lovely memory. The milkshake sounds nice.
Adorable.
i love the story over this.
Both the girls thought they had little chance of winning (Norway - nil points!) but decided to go out and really belt it out in the belief they had nothing to lose.
That attitude really shows in a terrific performance and they won the thing!!
Great days....
Decades later Finland went, "to Hell with it all, we never get any points, let's just go all out METAL on their asses!
And they won!
Well Lordi wouldn't have won that year if Wig Wam hadn't normalized rock the year before.
Yes, but here they already knew, they have won.
@@LoftySkinner Wig Wam won in the end. They have the 2 official themes for Peacemaker at HBO Max in 2022.
Lordi lost hard vs Wig Wam.
Hanne explained in an interwiev that just before they went on stage that night she said to Elisabeth: " We come from Norway, we can never ever win this, but we are sure gonna look as if we did"
That's actually great life advice!
Digg
Oh the irony
Actually they sang rather crappy but had immensely fun so it worked
@@cesteres troll
I think this won because they didn‘t miss a single tone, every moment, it felt really harmonic.
That's what I was thinking! It sounded perfect!
@@Gutgulper Perfect=Not
Lol there were an awful lot of bum notes in this though.
The tune regularly come into my head and I find myself singing it,even all the years later. 🤣🤣🥰
@@EC2019 this was the reprise performance (as part was sung in English which, at the time, would not have been alowed in the contest as the native language only rule was still in force) after they had won so I think we can forgive them that
Oh, I love Norway! How can you not? Norway is a great place and norwegians are so kind! Kind regards, Peder from Denmark.
Well as from Sweden too!
@@hamburgarmannen We love you both as well. Love from Norway.
@@heavygamer93 Kerlighet fra Sverige til dere!
Love Scandinavia the most! NORWAY, DEMMARK AND SWEDEN from The Netherlands! 🇳🇱❤️🇳🇴🇩🇰🇸🇪
I remember dancing and singing this with my mum. I was 5. My mum is no longer here but this is one of many a happy memory. Brill song ❤
This is TRUE Eurovision spirit - Glimmer, glitter, swinging tunes and loads and loads of happiness! La det altid swinge, mine Skandinaviske fæller! Let's get the real soul back into ESC next year, shall we? :D
Still wonderful after all these years - Thanks girls - Hope your both happy
The golden days of Eurovision
One of the best esc winners of all time.
1985. One of the truly great Eurovisions. The set and production were light years ahead of their time, the host was exemplary and a wonderful victory by the underdogs.
Rarely do you see singers put as much energy into a song as these two! great stuff from when the world was a happier place..
Loved it as soon as I heard it and picked it to win fantastic true eurovision ❤
I totally agree with you my friend. ♥️
I love the sound of the live band. In particular the saxophones are amazing
English subs
From a radio it streams old melodies
And when I wake up and ask my self what is going on
Is it just a dream and fantasy
When I feel that it is just swinging more and more
Let it swing and let it rock'n roll
Let it swing until you loose all controll
oh, hi ho.
Let it swing and let it rock'n roll
Let the music go,
let the rythm never stop
Can you feel that you live here and now
Do you feel how much you wanna dance
Ohhh. And do you hear you heart beat
pump and go
Let it swing and let it rock'n roll
Let it swing until you loose all controll
oh, hi ho.
Let it swing and let it rock'n roll
Duam, duam, duam, duam........
Do you feel how much you wanna dance
do you hear you heart beat pump and go, and goooo
Let it swing and let it rock'n roll
Let it swing until you loose all controll

I love this song. It is high on my list of favourite Eurovision songs!!! So much better then a lot of this years entries.
I wholeheartedly agree! Nowadays most ESC songs are trash.
Got to be one of the best eurovision performances ever,so much get up & go,LOVE IT.
Waterloo and this one possibly the greatest winning songs ever.
The song is a cover of Waterloo!
This is the best of Norwegian eurosongs ever!
Much better than the fiddler :-)
I dont think so in 2009 alexander rybak check it out
Walla Walla Norsk-Gaming Nocturne in 1995 by Secret Garden is a masterpiece.
the best of ALL eurosongs ever
I think the best is 2009 (Fairytale)
Fortreffelig! A delight from the honest years of the ESC. Love it! This song will still sound great in years to come. One of the best.
My first Eurovision love! I remember how I was dancing to this one when I was 6 years old, loving it! Thank you Bobbysocks!
Good beatiful Group song.Very Thanks From Turkey İstanbul
Who is listening to this fantastic masterpiece in 2022
This is what the ESC is all about! Great.
Excellent performance from Fantastic 1st class ladies. Thank you.
I miss the 80ies :-)
Agree there!
Me too! I didn´t have to do anything but eat and poop, and when I needed to go poopoo I didn´t even need a bathroom! Ahhh!! Those were the days!!
isn't it 50ies :-)
1983
Me too :-D and i never lived in that era! ha ha :-)
From Spain: I love this song! Bravo!
I‘am from Austria 🇦🇹 I Love this song
These two are just magic, visually, vocally and so much fun!!
I wish I could turn back the years and re live these moments all over again
Number Cheese Large Me too!!!!!
The song is as happy as the norwegian language sounds :)
The norwegian language sounds so happy because we are one of the happiest countries in the world.
Va?
@@stangneshakon Hehe.. might it be the other way round; that we are the happiest country because we have the happiest language? I don't know.... The chicken and egg conundrum. .... On a more serious note... you may actually be onto something... Very interesting.
Dont forget danish thats why we been the happiest country a couple of times
@@stangneshakon Yes Norway (and Norwegian people) are so happy due to being such a rich country without the problems that for example Sweden has.
Amazing song. I remember when I was younger, watching Eurovision with my family. We were so shocked that norway had won especially when they thought they wouldn't win, and even though I wasn't Norwegian i was so happy and filled of joy, and proud. That was a amazing night, one of the best contests and winners.
Great song, great singers, great arrangement. Thank you Norway. xx
The best and wonderful song from norge that will live forever in my heart.
One of the best Eurovision winners of all time. Saw these lovely ladies at a Eurovision concert 4 years ago and they were just as good :)
Absolutely fantastic arrange with sun life this is my song when I'm away with the fairies xx
2024 still great
Agreed.
Love this. Soooooo 80s and fabulous!
Congrats still for this. It's a song I still listen to. And I'm amazed they didn't miss a single note.
Delicious video !!!! Thanks John, thanks LooneyTuneBuddy !! Let's dance !! :)
Love this song🙂
We have to get back to this in music, culture and life again! ♥️
eurovision songfestival was so much nicer then, waar blijft de tijd
Albert Visserman // je bedoelt dat liedje van Saskia en Serge..?
I won a lot of money betting that they would win
When I placed the bet with the bookmaker he laughed at me
If I remember right the year before Norway had got no points
When they came out and started singing I knew they were going to win
I watched it with my friend and told him I will give you some of the winnings
They didn't get no points, but they still finished a miserly 17th.
Thanks for that
Such a long time ago
If I remember right Norway had a number of zero points for a few years around this time.
That was the reason he laughed at me when I placed the bet.
Catherineone
Yeah - 1963, 1981, 1997 and the most infamous one was Mil Etter Mil in 1978
Catherineone If there's one thing we can do in Norway, it's getting crushed in the ESC.
It's sort of weird how the Eurovision has sort of flipped over in terms of success.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Norway, Greece and Turkey were usually at the bottom of the scoreboard while France, UK and Ireland got victory after victory.

So proud to be Norwegian right now! Still cant get enouph of this song!!
I was living in the UK at the time and Carlsberg had an add where they had listed some very unlikely things - one of them being Norway winning the Eurovision. And then it happened!!! I was definitely more Norwegian than Danish the night they won. Great song, great memories :-D
A happy song that makes you smile - what Eurovision should be all about!!
Jeg elsker dette song. Mange takk for allt !
If this doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will
Another great Eurovision winner which I've said many times im my favourite Eurovision playlist so far and I'm only 12 songs out of 40 through it so far.
Greetings from Poland !! Exellent song for ever :D
Bravo por las Bobysocks por que lo hicieron de fabula. Una canción divertida
Agreed. A great song.
Fun fact. Rolv Løvland ( man on the keyboard ) wrote this song. 10 years later he wrote Norways second win in esc (Nocturne) but most famues song he ever wrote when being a member of secret garden is the world hit YOU RAISE ME UP
That means he almost had a perfect record with those 2 great wins from Norway until he wrote that cheesy raise me up
@@jlust6660 It's only cheesy because Groban's version has been overplayed. The melody is beautiful.
@@numbo655 The first 3 times I heard it I found it beautiful and with beautiful lyrics but now I can't hear either anymore.
Temperament pur und ein geiler song- die damals verdienten Sieger!
kann ich nur zustimmen!!!!! Der Grand Prix war mal so viel Spass und ich schau das seit ich Kind war in den 70ern....schade dass alle sich so ernst nehmen heutzutage wie dieser Typ der heuer gewonnen hat...
Great song, from Turkey
Quel beau duo et quand elle ont gagné j étais super heureux quel belle chanson et 2 belle femme également
I love this sooong !! Greetings from Poland !! :D
Still a very strong song: the girls really can sing and they make you smile!
Look at their glow 🌟
I know these song in English and they sing it so happy, it makes it great to watch.
this is one of the best eurovision entries ever. I just love all songs from those glory days. It shoud be again like that. Kick out all eastern contries, lets reunited Yugoslavia again and we could have 22 countries again on ESC
Verdient gewonnen, toller Song!
right up there in the hall of fame of great winning songs!
They just bring a smile to your face every time - irresistible!
The nine who don't like this song are Swedish! I'm Danish, and I think it's a fantastic song!! Those were the times where songs couldn't die!
golden times of music!
Love this and have always loved it ❤
Jeg elsker denne sangen! En av de beste
Hei fra Portugal! Jeg lærer norsk, det er et svært vakert språk.
Still my favourite from the best Eurovision years
Oh my God! I was 10 years old then and i remember that song ! Ahahaha I love it !
I miss those great years of music. Today ESC is a big porrige - difficult to separate any song from another. Such a pity.
Those horns are having fun too.. :)
Fun riffs to play.. I imagine..
Låten är så jävla bra xD Sitter här och försöker sjunga med men jag får inte till min norska dialekt XD
RememberRox Skriv en svensk versjon av sangen og låt det svinga!
One the best ever eurosongs.
Magic!
OMG this was an awesome song!
Smashing!lovely girls voices to die for!!!❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
10 bobbysocks la det svinge norvey best eurovison song best eurovision winner song❤❤❤❤❤
Hé norgì este än tãles beautīì. Vør tuttyes do ma zaws!
Norwegian is a beautyfull language. For Ever in my heart!
😍😍😍
Jeg elsker Deg from Ireland! Still a great song!!
Was this their winning song performance? Stage looks the same, but the performance is much lighter with joyous squeeking and then the english ending. Love all of their performances. And in 2018, the ladies could STILL let it swing!
I think this was performed at the end of the show, after they had won.
This is the greatest track of all time!!
Such a pretty language
You know, Bobbysocks won with 123 points, and I did read in somewere some critics because 123 points is the lowest winning score in the ESC history. But I think all the opposite, as that means for that particular ESC, several countries sent good songs and well known artists, so the votes were heavily scattered (not like nowadays), so Bobbysocks and Norway must be VERY PROUD to have won in those competitive conditions.
Viva Bobbysocks and those 2 talented ladies!
FFFAFFFO 96 of the 123 points were the 12 points! Funny voting really! Germany was collecting 10 points scores for a long time!
Their movements also give a nice add-on to this song !
Maravilloso duo, excelentes cantantes y una musica merecedora de ganar,LEVE NORGE.
where are those days ???? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is now my most favourite, cause I just started to play Golf,.. and this song is the best to humm in your mind , when you do the swing.. =)
Totally deserved to win great song great energy's 👍
Oh Boy do I love this, still got the 7" single. After years of micky take for 0 points. Norway gave us this gem.
What a great song. It was always played at the Union in Manchester, a fun gay bar, where everyone loved it. Good times.
The skirt lady has the energy we all wish we had.
The best song ever played!!!
One of the best ESC winners ever.
Awesome song! :D
- Your Faroese Neighbours.

Let it swing
From a radio old melodies flow
And I wake up and ask myself what's going on

Oh hi ho...
Let it swing, let it rock 'n' roll
Let the music live, never let the rhythm stop
Can you feel that you're alive right here and now?
Do you feel how much you want to dance?
Oh... and do you hear your heart beating on and on?
Let it swing, let it rock 'n' roll
Let it swing until you lose all control
Oh hi ho...
