Sophie and Magaly were a French musical duo composed of twin sisters Sophie (24 August 1962 - 27 February 2019) and Magaly Gilles-Giovannoni (24 August 1962 - 2 April 1996). The duo are best known for representing Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 with the song "Papa Pingouin", placing ninth. However, the song was a commercial success in France, where over one million copies of the single were sold. Their second single, "Arlequin", sold poorly, and their German producer Ralph Siegel of the label Ariola dropped them from the label shortly thereafter. Producer Charles Talar subsequently gave them a second chance, however, their follow-up singles "Toi" and "Les nanas de Zorro" were equally unsuccessful, and the group disbanded shortly thereafter.
In the late 1980s, Magaly contracted HIV, and died of AIDS in April 1996. Sophie suffered from high depressive syndrome and lived in the south of France. She died in 2019.
FUN FACT: Silly penguin is Jean-Paul Cara. He has a rich Eurovision experience. He is the one who composed the winning song from Eurovision 1977. These are his connections with Eurovision:
1.Germany 1982: La paix sur terre (lyricist French version)
2.France 1981: Humanahum (composer)
3.France 1977: L'oiseau et l'enfant (composer)
4.France 1976: Un, deux, trois (lyricist)
And became a very famous child song in Luxembourg and France 🐧
He also competed in Luxembourg's NF in 1978, where he lost to Baccara
Das Siegerlied 1977 von der Franco- Portugiesin Marie Miriam gesungen ist ein richtiges Volkslied in Frankreich und in Belgien geworden !
Es ist eines meiner liebsten ESC Lieder
...Pinguine sollte man also nicht unterschätzen 😅
@@uswruser7996 Marie Myriam*... 😉😜😘❤️
@@Joe-rf4lsinternational too- I sang this as a kid. US born and raised, but of French Canadian family.

Only at Eurovision: This song went from being heard in ESC to being heard by Children 25 years later.
The only song?
yup, its a popular children's song in France
Imagine being 9th in ESC 1980 and being so iconic that even official ESC chanel put video with that song🐧
RIP Magaly (1996) & Sophie (2019) 🙏
I never heard them until today. That’s sad
😢
Underrated entry, which deserved higher place. Very tragic that both sisters are gone.
I can remember the grief Sophie was in 1996 after the loss of her twin
Of course it's tragic that both twins are no longer with us but eighth place in such a strong year as 1980 is more than enough. I'd argue it's overrated actually.
9th place - but they managed to beat all Scandinavian entries ...
@@joshlevicq6823 Forgot about Austria but my point still stands. :)
Honestly, it could be in my top 5 favourite entries of all times. The charisma, their energy make the song an iconic one. The song itself is also really cute and fun
It may not be famous worldwide but it's a classic in France
i promise you it's not
🇱🇺Luxembourg 1980 : Papa Pingouin
🇳🇱The Netherlands 2024 : Europapa
🇳🇱 Netherlands*
@@bartsmits1185 the Netherlands is also correct
@@wibbliams The “The” is not part of the country’s name. It is only added while pronouncing the name of the country
@@esc1074 Holland is completely incorrect when referring to the country. You’re welcome.
@@bartsmits1185 yes Bart thank you bart
This is the childhood of many French people
Not only french. The Pigloo cover was a hit among children in Germany too. 😄
This song is such a huge hit in French speaking countries as a lullaby. It's adorable. :)
Certified banger 🐧🇱🇺
If this was what started the circus-like aspect of the modern-day ESC, I'm happy this was performed! 😊
The song about Genghis Khan was the year before.
Such a sweet song. 🇱🇺❤🇱🇺💕🐧
Very addictive song
I just That Sophie and magaly just died RIP
1962-2019 (Sophie).1962-1996(magaly)
If Junior Eurovision had already existed in 1980, Sophie & Magaly would certainly have won it by far.
They were 18 at the time of the 1980 contest, the max age at JESC is 15.
They were 17 here in april 1980. Their 18th birthdays were not until few months later in august
@@silvergir89 To that times it didn't matter at all. You could lie about your real age. Look at Sandra Kim who won in 1986! She was only 13.
Sami Aednan, Djambo Djambo, Deschighis Khan and this one were the really quirky but memorable ones from this era.
Horoscopes from Sheeba too
This sounds like a theme song. It’d’ve been used for Pingu
Was in front of the TV and asked my parents to buy the record. Still must be somewhere at their home 😃
Liebenswerter Auftritt, der mir in einer schweren Zeit ein Lächeln zauberte 🐧💕
Ein echtes Kinderlied 🌈
The costumes. the choreography, twins... looks like this was the inspiration for Jedward.
To me this was always one of the hidden ESC gems, I love the vocal arrangement. The ABBA influence shines through but that's not a bad thing at all.
REST IN PEACE Sophie & Magaly!
Penguin is a little bit scary but the harmony between the music and the language is amazing 😊
Rest in peace to both Sophie and Magy...... such a tragic story what happend both of them.... Also this is my all time favourite Luxembourg entry
Une des meilleures chansons pour enfants dans la francophonie :)
Abartılı sahne ışıklarının olmadığı, seyircilerin çok gürültülü bir şekilde tezahürat yapmadığı güzel zamanlar.
Finland had a version of this "isä-pappa pingviini" by Armi Aavikko same year 1980
One of my old Eurovision favourites, so fun & catchy! 😄
And all those who complain how Eurovision has now become a "circus" should really take a look at Eurovision history (and a big hard look at themselves, TBH...)!
A true classic
Eternal and lovely euro classic!!!! 🐧❤
Bedankt voor het delen! Als mijn moeder weer eens roept dat het songfestival tegenwoordig alleen maar gekkigheid is, en vroeger nog ging om de mooie liedjes, kan ik haar dit nummer de volgende keer onder de neus wrijven 😂
12 points to the Netherlands ❤🤍💙
you mean Luxembourgh? lol
That story of them makes me sad to watch this...sweet song though 😪❤
so tragic the story of the women
Thanks for the information! Always nice to know esc performers life story! This story sad anyway.
Feels like yesterday ... 💙💝
By the way, the German version "Papa Pinguin" was sung by Dorthe. 🐧
Eurovision song straight to my nursery in the 2000's
EXTRA !!! Bravo !!!
This time, everybody already knows that both Sophie and Magaly are dead. Since quite a while.

I have the original vinyl 🥰🥰🥰

May I ask, are they Stereo recordings?
Una fantasía, me encanta 😍😍
Please tell me this is real. I'm about to listen to this amazing masterpiece. Please.
Why wouldn't it be real?
@@DanTony68 I was just excited and I tend to ask myself this so...
Sorry
But thanks!
I loved this
This would qualify today
❤
No one can claim to be the best creator of iconic entries except Luxembourg
well, Sweden can.
Ralph Siegel & Thomas G:SON: are you challenging us?
@@RpMTarTarSiegel wrote this entry!
@@JeSuisRenewith jean paul cara ans Bernd meinunger
May god bless them 💔
And they say that it used to be alot more normal back in the days lol. I'd say this is pretty funny and weird at the same time. It has become such an iconic song!
This is my daughters best song. She was 3 years. Now she is 7. We remember. Where are this big pingouin today? Is he is still OK? Where is the vocalists? They stil sing?
One of the twins died of aids in 1996, the other died in 2019
I'm gonna tell my grandchildren this was Antarctica's entry into Eurovision.
Fun fact: Pigloo’s version of this is one of the most viewed ESC songs ever in UA-cam. 💀
We would like to see the performance of the moroccan singer Samira Said - Bitakat Hob - 1980 🇲🇦
Happy Feet but it’s Eurovision
WHAT THE ??!?!? THIS SONG IS FROM EUROVISION !?
This is so cute.. I will sing it for my papa..😊
Next ⏩⏩⏩ Frère Jacques, Anne Marie B, 1977
Best Song Luxembourg ever sent
France Gall and Vicky Leandros said hi
So much ignorance or lack of taste!
Of course the first thing I hear when it’s quiet is a cough! 😆
In short: Nice song 😍❣️
This is the only case where we have a blue outline for deceased singers.
Sad Guy Bonnet noises.
(They changed the thumbnail)
@@RpMTarTar he was in Blue ? I remember that the video was released after his death
What's the problem with this colour?
@@DanTony68 The color changes depending on whether the singer died just before or not
@@nabla41 What are the other colours then?
I have a tech question. Why is one of the lead vocals (the girl in the pink, Magaly I guess?) super loud and panned all the way over to the left speaker, while everyone else's vocals are at a normal level and in the center where they belong? Was this a mistake, or a technical issue, on the original broadcast?
🎤🎶 My personal voting revisiting the 25th Eurovision Song Contest 1980 in 🌷 The Hague:
1 point to Denmark,
2 points to Ireland,
3 points to Norway,

8 points to the United Kingdom,
10 points to Morocco
(thus overtaking Belgium)
and finally
12 points to West Germany ... 🎭
Israel won 1980.beautiful song. Halleluyah
Twins!
German version in 2005 or 6 was popular because of all those Crazy Frog type ringtones, was released as a ringtone in Germany and always advertised on the music channels
Only one question to ask...why you change the thumbnails of these pictures of videos from dark navy to light blue for anyway of this memorial?
Each edition have a visual identity.
@@debonidanielI see the point...
Hopefully it will change back after the contest ends.
I wonder if they'll reupload the 1961 entry, for pride month?
Jean-Claude Pascal /
"Nous les amoureux"
I was told people used to dress up like that in Luxembourg at that time
Who is which?
i think sophie with the blue outfit and magaly with the red outfit
Worum geht's in diesem Lied?
Sigue sin quedarme claro si es o no una canción infantil.
Aunque me lo parece.
Es pegadiza para los niños aunque como canción para eurovisión... No sé. Yo no la habría mandado.
Who is who tho, Is Magaly the blue gal
He nearly fell on 0:17
❤❤
I am little seal trying to live in the real world.
Then Pigloo remixed the song in 21st century, which performed better than this in the charts in some countries.
Styling outfits of Luxembourg back in the 80s...🤫😔
Українці мають красивішу пісню . Бажаю успіху
Funny song!!!!💜❤️
This year Eurovision will eliminate the best performances and songs or bring them at the bottom of the grand final
See kids.
Pigloo didn’t make it!
Can we find here a precursor of the Junior Eurovision?
No, but watch France '89 and Israel '89 ...
@@joshlevicq6823 or Monaco '69 and even Belgium '86
@@joshlevicq6823 So, the first ever JESC precursor was Jean Jacques ("Maman, maman", Monaco '69)
Continental types are a scream.
Funny song
My favourite from that year is 🇲🇦 Morocco though. Does anyone have more info on how those girls passed away? I hear the wildest stories…..😢
Yes magali passed 1996. Aids. Sophie passed 2019 depression
Hihi
That's so funny. 😅
please tell me they didn't die
They're both already dead , but they dies years ago
They both died in 1996 and 2019.
They’ve already passed on years ago. One died in 1996 and the other in 2019.
How unusual for Eurovision, everyone is in clothes
Costumes
@@DevsLeftNut I meant dressed )
@@nikson9334 I know, it was a joke
Stolen song orginal Martian hop
I’m confused …
Better than recent gimmick comedy songs like this years Estonian and Finnish entry
No it isn't, all are great! Some people just have to use every opportunity to bash what is FUN & enjoyable to so many!! Shame on you.
@@florenna shame on you for shaming me. UA-cam is an american company and we have a freedom of speech.
@@florenna people like you ruined eurovision. you and your silly flags
Disqualify Isr4el right now. It's a shame what they're doing, how they don't respect human rights nor Geneva Convence. What about EBU credibility?
No Israeli ever harmed a penguin ...
@@joshlevicq6823 I'm not talking about penguins
No
Can I just ask, why, in the midst of a contemporary, modern contest, ESC have decided to post this on their channel? As ESC fans we have a hard time trying to convert casual viewers to the contest, trying to tell them it is relevant and worth watching with the chance to be introduced to some great new artists... This is a song and performance of it's time but it doesn't help to boost the reputation of the modern contest
When Eurovision was a good music contest, now it's a Circus contest, so this year is terrible. 😢
why is israel in this ? its suposed to be about europe
there is a huge outcry to get them baned for their crimes
No Israel in this video....
This is not israel its luxembourg 1980 and israel has not committed crimes. The crime was againat them to remind you by a terroeist group hamas
This is so hardcore trash.🤣
