"Ding-a-dong" (original Dutch championship: "Ding dinge dong", as information technology was introduced in the titles when broadcast) was the title of the winning song in the Eurovision Song Competition 1975. It was sung by Teach-In, representing the netherlands, and was written past Dick Bakker, Will Luikinga, and Eddy Ouwens. The vocal reached number one in both the Swiss and the Norwegian Singles Chart.
History [edit]
"Ding-a-dong" was notable for existence one of the Eurovision winners that had quirky or entirely nonsensical titles or lyrics, post-obit in the footsteps of Massiel'southward "La La La" in 1968 and Lulu's "Nail Blindside-a-Bang" in 1969, subsequently followed past the Herreys' "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" in 1984. "Ding-a-dong" was performed starting time on the performance night (preceding Ireland'south The Swarbriggs with "That's What Friends Are For"). The vocal was the first winner under the now-familiar Eurovision voting organisation whereby each country awards scores of 1–eight, 10 and 12. At the close of voting, it had received 152 points, placing showtime in a field of nineteen. As the start song performed during the evening, the victory ran contrary to the fact that success normally went to songs performed subsequently in the broadcast. According to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor'due south The Eurovision Vocal Contest – The Official History, this was the first of three occasions when the offset song would win the competition, the second coming the post-obit year in 1976, and the 3rd in 1984.[1]
The song, performed entirely in English, was an up-tempo ode to positive thought; though the vocal is written entirely in a minor cardinal. The ring sings that ane should "sing a song that goes ding ding-a-dong" when one is feeling unhappy, and continues "Ding-a-dong every hour, when y'all choice a flower. Fifty-fifty when your lover is gone, gone, gone." On the night of the Dutch National Song Contest, with the song already having been selected, Albert West and Debbie competed with Teach-In for the honour of performing.[ commendation needed ]
In the original Dutch version the "ding-a-dong" describes the heartbeat of the singer remembering the separation from her lover in the past. Equally well as "ding-a-dong", the lyrics also contain "bim-bam-bom" representing a fearful heartbeat and "tikke-(tikke)-tak" for the ticking of the clock while waiting for the lover to return:[ citation needed ]
- Is 't lang geleden? Dat mijn hart je riep met z'n ding-dinge-dong?
- Is 't lang geleden? Is 't lang geleden? In de zomerzon ging het bim-bam-bom.
- Tikke-tak gingen uren, hoelang zou 't duren?
Translation:
- Is it long agone? That my heart called you with its ding-ding-a-dong?
- Is it long ago? Is it long ago? In the summertime dominicus it went bim-bam-bom.
- Tick tock went the hours, how long would it take?
The song reached number thirteen in the UK Singles Chart and Teach-In also recorded the song in German as "Ding ding-a-dong".[ citation needed ]
