In 1980 Telex's manager asked the group to enter the Eurovision Song Contest. The group entered and were eventually sent to the finals, although it apparently hoped to come in last: "We had hoped to finish last, but Portugal decided otherwise. We got ten points from them and finished on the 19th spot." (Marc Moulin)[3] The group's song "Euro-Vision" was a cheerful bleepy song with deliberately banal lyrics about the contest itself. The Eurovision audience seemed unsure how to react to the performance, and after the band stopped playing, there was mostly stunned silence, with scattered polite applause; Michel Moers took a photograph of the bewildered audience. The band walked off amid sounds of muttering.

perfect for sunday afternoons, riding down whittier blvd, checking out chicas, barbequeing at the park, early summer fun with loved ones.

this is absolutely my favorite kind of music (firme) so there will be at least one more volume! [this volume is the kind of stuff they play on hot 92.3 but i’m hoping that the next one will be more bilingual heh]
