WATERLOO – SONG SEVEN
The history books on the shelf is always repeating itself
Well, who can forget that from WATERLOO and the next song in our competition.
Now WATERLOO is a battle and for that reason, we are in a fighting mood and only ONE person will win the points allocated to this song.
I am interested to hear about your “favourite” battle on the scoreboard – we all know 1991 when two songs ended on top and they had to look at which won got the most 12 points, so that probably as the closet battle, but in your mind, which two songs did you think really battled it out against one another.
SOUTH AFRICAN COVERS
The titles of over 400 covers of Eurovision songs by South African artists have been loaded in the library and this is more or less complete with there and there the original title of a song to be added once I have checked the spelling. That is the first part of the library – the covers are done alphabetical by original country and inside each country, by date order. The second part is the covers of melodifestivalen songs and this index is in date order and is about 40% complete. I hope to have it finished before the 2015 edition of melodifestivalen starts. I also got requests to do a third section – this is covers of songs by EUROVISION artists, for example not just Abba’s Waterloo but every ABBA song that has been covered in South Africa. This has never really been done and so I have no idea how many such covers exist but I have already loaded a lot – covers from Euro artists such as ABBA, Nicole, New Seekers, Celine Dion, Karel Gott, Nana Mouskouri, Vicky Leandros, Olivia Newton John, Mouth & Macneal etc. Hopefully some fans will see some interesting covers and go and search for them on Itunes or Youtube or wherever. 99% of the songs listed are in my own private collection- either on CD or vinyl single.
