    One of the best songs in Eurovision,ever! Catchy melody, good lyrics. If ABBA hadn't been in the same competition, it might have won. I remember it being played a lot on the radio later , so it was a big hit even if it didn't win.

      @@dimitriheemskerk8645 Ain't gonna lie. I do kinda like ABBA. As a kid, I always thought Waterloo was about a toilet. But yes, people tend to think they were the gold standard of European pop. Fun, yes. Overrated, definitely.

    I am guessing a rythem track (to replicate the barrel organ sounds) was used on this with the strings and brass playing along with it?

    • @escLIVEmusic1
      @escLIVEmusic1  3 роки тому

      According to the biography of arranger Piet Souer the organ was on the rhythm track, yes. In addition to strings and brass there were also some flute, piccolo and xylophone in this (live) orchestration.
