Everything Wrong With Eurovision Song Contest 1980
Вставка

- 1980 is arguably the all-time most iconic edition of Eurovision, so I thought it was the perfect thing to be pulled apart and nit-picked in a CinemaSins-esque fashion.
My comments for each song don’t necessarily reflect whether or not I like the song itself (Norway is actually one of my favourites from this year). I tried to make this video as opinion-free as possible so as to not alienate people with different music tastes. I know how Eurovision fans can be…
Special thanks to Diggiloo Thrush for the song translations. - Розваги
some facts about the 1980 Eurovision: Israel won in 1979, but for financial reasons, as they hosted 1979, it did not host it again in 1980. The Netherlands volunteered to host it in 1980. As the contest was on the evening of Israel Memorial Day, Israel declined to participate, which made Morocco participate. most arab countries did not air the Eurovision, or blocked the screen during Israel's performance.
Ah, 1980... the year of songs where artists list things
They really put Papa Pinguin and Euro-Vision in the same year
Half of the songs from this year have meme potential

Actually, during the voting she had a new phone for every country she was talking to. I think it was the first time since 1958 that there was an actual phone on stage during the voting.
and 1963.
I so want to see this for other years! If you are indeed making one for 1996 then I am very excited.
I'm planning on doing some other type of video for ESC 1996 but it's only in the rough planning stages. Thank you
Hello from the future, there's one made just days ago. Take a look!
This was wonderful I wish you did more years
I give a sin count to the whole entry of Papa Pingouin because of the compositional and post Eurovision history regarding the sisters.
1980 was the first ESC I watched all through (I did watch bits of 1978 and 1979 but it was past my bedtime) and made me fall in love with the contest. TELEX is still in my top, somewhere... I was 9, it meant so much to me. When I do my top 10 favourite Eurovision songs as an adult now, and have TELEX in the there, I just *have* to because that year it was my favourite and I was 9, and it personally means so much to me 🙂
I think you forgot two things. 1. Kelly Sakkakou (she spoke the introduction for Greece) had forgotten her text and had to look it again on her piece of paper. 2. When Tomas Ledin sang the song ''Just Nu'' for Sweden, the cable for the microphone fell on the floor and he had to put it back in.
7:20 basically managed to kill me and made me laugh instantly- 😂
This was way more hilarious than I thought, would love to see more! (Especially of 1990, the sins for breaking the 'ESC isn't political' rule alone would stack up, and in hindsight the 'Yugoslavia is like an orchestra' just makes me question what goes on behind the scenes in orchestras)
"Theater" is my favorite Eurovision song that I have to re-evaluate my enjoyment of every time I try and re-watch it because...well, emphasis on "try"...
0:36 - Beethoven is actually more German then Austrian. Yes he worked mostly in Vienna, yet he was born in Bonn and in fact his family originally is from Belgium.
True but Austria is always trying to claim him.
How about Noel slipping up on his words. And the French song being played about 5 times faster than it should
7:21 killed me. Thank you so much for this masterpiece video
"Who knew Paul Rudd did Eurovision" I'm so dead! 🤣
Not as funny as stealing other UA-camrs' video ideas and filtering out comments that call you out
@@morbidsearch says the guy stealing from CinemaSins.
This is my favourite contest :)
Poor Netherlands - it was in Den Haag because no one else wanted to host which is why they reused the slogan and city from the last time they hosted. Also Amsterdam is a great song.
This should be a series. (I know that this is based off another series)
You talked about the misspelled name of Noel but not the wrong song title for Spain!
The spelling of Luxembourg is ambiguous as I have seen it spelt without the “o” in English and it is probably spelt without the “o” in Dutch as it is a Germanic language most similar to German where they spell it without the “o”
I'm from Portugal and what you said about the backing singers could not have been truer. Never noticed it before tho.
this is fucking underrated man. We want more!
Ah yes, the famous european country of Denhake! 9:38
She said "Den Hague" i.e. the city where Eurovision was being hosted
God this was hilarious. I wish more of these existed, but it seems youre the only one whos made one
Tomas Ledin is so fecking AWESOME!
Please do more!
1:25 … was that something about a penguin?
Whatever you think it should be called :D
Can't believe you are the first to do this! :) Love it. I forgot Turkey basically sent a love song to Petrol haha.
Easiest decision to subscribe to a channel ever :)
Thank you :)
07:21 you made me jump up😂 sayuuuuuz is always here with us
This is a masterpiece. 1980 truly was a meme.
Bro where is the one and only macedonia you were advertising in another video? Was it maybe called vardaska banovina back then? 😂😂
I actually kind of like this music. And I hate modern Eurovision. Its the orchestra. It just adds that organic touch. And Belgium's synth song was pretty cute. Not exactly good but those old synthesizers are Kawaii af.
AMORE AMOUR MEIN LIEBE LOVE OF MY LIFEEEEE
NEW! Why 1996 was the WEIRDEST Eurovision ever

You need to do more years
I've almost done the script for 1981, but the video won't be ready for a while
6:49 lol
I mean it's the truth
I kind of liked the norwegian one.
eurovision 1980 is better than 2024 eurovision
if it's eurovision 2024 there will be more sin tally than this
ESC 2024 was an absolute shit-show behind the scenes but still had a strong lineup of songs. The early 2000s was where things really got bad.
2:20 what the fuck is Morocco doing in Eurovision lmao
The fact that Samira flopped and still became one of Arab World's biggest stars
It only had to be member of EBU, same as 🇮🇱. Tunisia was going to participate one year, but withdrew and Lebanon was going to participate, but were refused when it was revealed that it would not be showing Israeli entry.
Do this for the years 2010 - 2019 would be awesome. Would subscribe if you would do that.
I've thought about it but I'm not sure how I would include the semis
@@morbidsearch maybe just make the grand final and before the voting you can put some semi final songs in there that you think are worth sinning
5:54 Still not a good idea.
Sorry for Eurovision but Sopot festival from the Communist block was better.
