	Eurovision Song Contest 1959 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eurovision Song Contest 1959 was the fourth Eurovision Song Contest.

	Eurovision Song Contest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Following the dominance of English language songs, particularly Swedens 1974 victory (with Abbas Waterloo), a rule was passed in 1977 that the song had to be sung in one of the official languages of the performing country.
		Hosting the Eurovision Song Contest is an honour accorded to the winners of the previous year -- although it means that the winner's home broadcaster actually incurs heavy expenses as a result of winning and this has led to suggestions that some nations deliberately choose substandard acts so as to ensure they do not win.
		Many viewers of the contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the English-language broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision song contest drinking games and the like has evolved in some countries.

	Eurovision Song Contest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most countries in Europe have taken part at least once during the Contest's history, and such is the magnitude and scale of the Contest that the word "Eurovision" is one of the few household names to be recognised across an entire continent.
		This well-estabilished pattern, however, was notably broken in 2006 with Finnish hard rock band Lordi's landslide victory.
		The Contest has long been perceived as a political institution, where judges — and now televoters — allocate points based on their nation's political relationship to the other countries, rather than on their opinions of the songs.
