	What is Eurovision? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		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.
		However, the contest is considered a unique showcase for launching the host country as a tourist destination, and for the summer of 2005 to coincide with its hosting of the ESC, Ukraine even abolished its normal visa requirements for tourists.
		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 UK 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.

		Bizarrely, the UK's song was chosen after the date of the international final but the EBU adopted the idea of contacting the international juries by telephone and this was introduced in 1957 and used until 1993.

	Waterloo
		The United Kingdom hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in the seaside resort of Brighton in 1974, as Luxembourg had won at home in the previous year and the EBU decided that it would be unfair to ask the tiny principality to stage the competition again.
		The United Kingdom was second in the running order and were represented by Australian Olivia Newton-John, who had already had had a string of worldwide hits with a series of soft country songs, but her Eurovision entry was very different.
		The song was produced by Michael B. Tretow who had a distinctive "wall of sound" technique, similar to that of Phil Spector and which was very fashionable in the mid 1970's thanks to the hits of Roy Wood and his band Wizzard.

		Performing live her Eurovision entry “Don’t play that song again” and a dancing version of “Total eclipse of the heart”, Nicki impressed the audience and the viewers with her energy, her sparkle and her undoubting dynamism.
		I think the United Kingdom was very unpopular at that time, as it is now, and the song could have been quite usual for the contest.

		The voting patterns in the Eurovision Song Contest have attracted attention from various researchers, spawning a small cross-disciplinary field of what might be called 'eurovisiopsephology' incorporating insights from politics, sociology and computer science.
		The pioneering study of the contest was carried out by Yair (1995) who used multidimensional social network analysis of the voting over the period 1975-1992, representing the period between the end of the Oil Crisis and the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht.
		The contest now operates successfully on two levels, appealing equally to western post-modernists who revel in the very tastelessness and contempt for "serious" pop music that appalled the previous intellectual generation, and also to emerging states rediscovering the pan-European spirit of the contest's founders.

		The song 'Waterloo' launched ABBA to international stardom, and remains probably the most well-known and popular Eurovision winner.
		In recent years, Sweden has seemed an excellent judge of televoters' taste, boasting a run of top ten finishes stretching from 1998 to 2004 - 6th in 2004, 5th in 2003, 8th in 2002, 5th in 2001, 7th in 2000, 1st in 1999 and 10th in 1998.
		You have to go back to 1976 to find a Saturday night Eurovision show in which the Swedes were not present, so they will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to avoid that happening again thirty years later.
