I love this. It’s nice and sweet just like much of the music was in the 50s

  A lot of the early winners of Eurovision were like this. I like that it’s not in English. Most of the more recent ones are done in English. Not that I don’t like English (I speak the Chicago dialect of it), but it’s nice to hear music done in other languages.
