	Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Germany held a national preselection to choose the two songs that would go to the Eurovision Song Contest 1956.
		It was held on May 1, 1956 and was presented by Heinz Piper.
		"So geht das jede Nacht" and "Das Lied vom großen Glück" were the dual winners of the national selection, but neither prevailed at the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest, which was won by the Swiss entry "Refrain", sung by Lys Assia.

	Eurovision Song Contest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Following the dominance of English language songs, particularly Sweden's 1974 victory (with Abba's 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.

		The Eurovision song Contest started in 1956 and has the stated mission: “to stimulate the output of original high-quality songs in the field of popular music by encouraging competition between authors and composers through the international comparison of their work”.
		The contest is taken much more seriously by some than by others and whilst it is officially the song which is important it has provided many performers with an opportunity to develop their international career.
		It is a stipulation of the contest that the entries should be chosen from a national competition.

		UK hopefuls Jemini emerged point-free from the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday - and although it was a bloody awful song, it was not alone in that respect.
		After several years in which Eurovision has become worryingly slick and classy, the 2003 contest boasted some real, old-fashioned tat.
		Germany's Lou had been at the henna; she sang "Let's get happy, let's get gay," and it looked as if her backing dancers had taken her advice to heart.

		The trauma of post-war division is now firmly in the past but over a decade and a half on from the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Germany has yet to come up with the economic key to coping with its aftermath.
		The pain of Germany's Nazi-era history remains a sensitive element in the country's collective modern-day psyche.
		In the 1950s Germany was one of the six founding nations in the original European Economic Community from which the European Union was eventually to develop and in which Germany is a key player.

		The 49th Annual Eurovision Song Contest held in Istanbul took place over two days with a qualifying round and a final held in May. This DVD covers all of the footage from the shows as well as an interview with the winning entry, Ukraine's Ruslana with Wild Dances.
		The songs sound great, with the notable ones being from Greece, Ukraine, etc. Also full credit to Turkey for not just putting on a great show but for sticking a ska/punk band in to the mix of the usual pop.
		But this does not overshadow the complete fun that is the Eurovision Song Contest, if you are completely in love with Eurovision I suggest you get this right away, its sort of like having a CD, you skip back and forth to songs you like.

		What harms the group is that they do not have a real video for their song.
		This song fits into that pop-country crossover area, with the likes of Faith Hill, which thoroughly confuse radio stations who can't figure out where to put it, and so subject all of us to it.
		Considering her confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for the contest, it's really quite a shame to see her at the bottom.
