Eurovision 1976 - United Kingdom 

Probably the most British British Eurovision entry in history, long live the 70s

When this enthusiastic band came out to sing first, my mother said: They are going to win. And they won. What a beautiful memory of my childhood.

The moment I realized this song is a parent singing to their kid I almost died from the feels

a time when the eurovision song contest was judged on the song and not politics , a true classic from the long hot summer of 1976, pure magic

my dad used to sing this song to me and my baby sister when he would be goin to work on docks R.I.P DAD OUR WORLD XXXX

I heard this song on my dad’s AM radio station all the time growing up. My dad recently passed away so I looked up the song out of curiosity. It hit me so hard in the feels when I realized it’s a parent singing to their child. All of those memories hearing this song have a whole new context and I’m all the more grateful for those countless previously-mundane memories ❤️ I love you dad.

There is something magical about this song...

The song is now 45 years old - and has lost none of its fascination. It cannot be overestimated that it was played live by a "real" large orchestra and - with the exception of the electric bass - completely without electronics. As an arranger, you had to think about how to set the orchestration (I like what the pianist plays especially well), the musicians still had to read notes and the drummer had to keep the exact tempo and everyone would play together and rely on each other can. It is a shame that in our short-lived times only relatively few do the work and still work with orchestras. An evergreen, still not a bit old-fashioned or boring - and it's nice that the four - aged with dignity - are still standing together on stage! Great! Greetings from Germany near Cologne to Great Britain.

I know some people do not want to believe this but this song became the biggest selling Eurovision single of all time. I repeat biggest selling EUROVISION SINGLE. It is catchy. I love this song. Always puts me in a good mood. Thank you EUROVISION.

When my daughter was twelve, I played this song for her...she seemed to like it, but when she heard the line "even though you're only three"...she looked at me and said "aaawwww"!!!!!...and almost cried because it was so adorable...

Feeling nostalgic. :) This old Europe looks so pure, sweet and innocent now. Lost forever...

I was born in the Spring of 1976 during the heatwave and this song was number one in the charts.

The great times where there was still an orchestra present.

Music that evokes happiness. A long, lost art. In other words: "That's nice!"

this is so ridiculously delightful

I loved this song so much. I was eight yrs of age and after they won I ran out into the farm singing it out from my heart. ❤️🇮🇪. Years later I was told I had a beautiful voice, looking back I didn't even realise it at the time. Wow, the innocence!

J’aimais pas à l’époque, aujourd'hui je regarde cela avec une nostalgie d'une époque définitivement morte, bon enfant, sans prétention avec une énergie positive et sans langue de bois. 😢

I love this song! One of the cutest songs ever written for the Eurovision. I still play it in my car from time to time to bring back good memories.

Слезы так и наварачуют от таких красивых песен тех прекрастных времён хочется вернутся в то время .

I remember them winning it my dad was so.happy just shows how simple life was in those days well done guys xx

A great song for the UK, still makes me smile! (from an Irish fan) :)

The 3 year old that this song was sung to is now 49 years old and probably sung this song to their own 3 year old that is probably now in their 20s. Time flies, and I love the 1970s Eurovision more than any other era of Eurovision.

I was born 1992, this song feels so good. No wonder, it soared high. Anyone, 2020?

I can remember my sisters Dad singing this to me whenever he was posted away from home. Good memory and a happy tear.

I was 26 when I heard this. It's still stuck in my head at times. It was a wonderful time in many ways and I miss this kind of music. This is a terrific rendition.

I always listened to this with my dad and when he passed away last year I even played it on the funeral day as on of the songs

Cuando Eurovisión era un festival de prestigio y seguido en todo el mundo,con buena música y artistas,no el circo que tenemos ahora🇪🇸😍

This song & dance routine is so cheerful & innocently happy, it really warms my heart. It's so cute when they hold hands & sway together!

Ten years ago, when my interest in Eurovision resurfaced, I only thought this was an amusing song of the times, and preferred the likes of France to win. Now, however, I am unable to resist this song's charm - I knew every word after only a few listens, and the dance routine after only an additional few. Such a sweet, earnest song about a father's love for his child can only make you feel good. A most deserved winner for the UK, an evergreen classic (even though I love France too!).

Han pasado 44 años de esta maravillosa canción. 1 9 7 6. EUROVISIÓN. De las mejores que han pasado por eurovisión.

Wie is hier ook door de tv kantine 😅

Я аж расплакалась .Были же прекрасные песни-хиты на Евровидении? Куда всё делось?Наше доброе ,хорошее прошлое..

A live orchestra to accompany the turns. Them were the days...

And then it rocketed off into continuous radio play.. The entire unusual and very hot & dry summer of 1976 in Europe.

La canción mas maravillosa de la historia de la Eurovisión

С большим удовольствием слушала,вспоминала своё беззаботное детство...

I'm still back here 😍😍😍 the best song ever from eurovision 💕

La canción ya era un éxito en medio mundo antes del Festival, ya era la favorita y efectivamente se llevó el triunfo. Es una de las mejores canciones que han pasado por Eurovisión, sin duda

This was the REAL Eurovision, not garbage of this days !!!

They are soooooooo cute! Like a big family! Amazing song, voices, dance and charisma!

This is such a lovely song, listened to it 5 times today!

Never never never......again! They are lost and gone forever! Music,no jungle! Sound,no wild!

Какая музыка, какое исполнение!!! Браво!!!где сегодня всё это?

My God, so pure, innocent!! I'm listening and believing again in pure LOVE!

Friendly from France. Amazing good song !

Любо дорого смотреть на простых парней и девчат

I was Three years old that year, and i love this song!

Making me feel so young again listening to this song, thank you for putting it up, you have made me so happy : )

still remember that enjoyable song and music as it was yesterday, love it, bravo uk, from france!

Ils ont chanté les premier, ont placé la barre tres haute Et les autres groupes ne s' en sont jamais remis, Brotherhood of man etaient "simply the best"

просто и светло и весело и ...пусть так будет всегда !!!!)))))))))))

43 yrs.ago still love the song🎶🎤

For a while I was expecting the one with the ridiculous moustache to rip the girls' trousers off towards the end, then I realised....wrong year.

Ой, мне нравилась эта песенка! Знаете, как, прошло столько лет, и вот только сейчас я увидела впервые, кто пел эту песню!

When I was living इन Mumbai I had enjoyed this song. Really majestic song and era.

The song that got me into Eurovision. Found an article ranking British Eurovision entries on a lark, and this was the first video I watched. Sweet, sentimental, makes me smile. Takes me back to that amazing summer in Oxford in 2017, learning about music, absorbing British culture, and discovering the wild and wacky world of Eurovision for the first time. I'll never forget it.

Милая, приятная и понятная для всех песенка на все времена)))

This is just the cutest

Floating on a cloud of nostalgia. 😊

First out and won. The 70s were amazing

this is my favourite eurovision song lol

i used to hear this music evry morning cause it gave me energy .

Better than anything in 2023. I was at my friend’s parents’ 25th wedding anniversary part and I remember they stopped the disco and announced that Brotherhood of Man had won Eurovision. Great song.

Как же здорово. И ведь это евровидение. И эта песня стала хитом и визитной карточкой группы. А сейчас...

Супер, были же отличные песни на Евровидении

Awesome. Great to see them last night still going strong.

Wow! This takes me back to the gold old days. Catchy tune still remembered to this day 42 years ago! Love it.

Me encanta esta canción. Transmite un buen rollo increíble

Lucky those who lived back on those beautiful days

This is such a happy song!!!!

If time travel ever becomes possible I’m going back to 1976 and staying there!!! ❤😊

Iconic track I still play it regularly 😍

Love this song since childhood. Like from Hong Kong

Sawe them live a few years ago and they haven't changed much. It was a great run through thr 1970's show. Not just their own songs. A very cheery evening.

I was only 8 when this song came out but it made it sooo big that it played for years after. Love it !!!

amazing song ... amazing group, adored in '76 & forever

From the days when music was fun. Do singers still smile these days?

Before he goes to work a father says goodbye to his 3 year old daughter and asks her to "Save all your kisses for me"

When i was 8 years old, for my birthday my parents bought me a record player with speakers, and i had this record bought me also! I loved this song so much, i remember dancing to it…oh how time has swiftly gone by!! Anna UK. 👍❤️❤️❤️

Best moment in music during my youth.

If we start doing sweet and cheerful songs like this again,we might actually win again x

Iconic song and dance!

that harmonization!! this song never fails to make me smile

As soon as they started this song and routine it was obvious who the winner was going to be. Fabulous performance.

Esta canción la escuchaba cuando era un niño y me recuerda momentos muy bonitos de la década de los 70. Y es hasta ahora que conozco el nombre de la canción y el de sus integrantes.

When a song contest was a song contest

A guilty pleasure of a whole new level. :-D

What a superbly performed song, excellent composition. Very clever to make it all about a parent singing to a child too, grossly underrated song.

Great Song! about his 3 year old daughter/son. AWESOME!

When it was a song contest and not points for your neighbours

Old memories and a lot of old childhood happy beautiful memories always fill my mind whenever I listen to this 1976 world over hit song. We were in those days in Turkey as my father was posted there from his office in Pakistan for three years i.e from 1974 to 1977. I did my one year kinder Garten from a Christian school in Pakistan the name of which was presentation convent which is still a reputed school located at the same place in Lalkurti,Rawalpindi. So after that I did my classes one to three in Turkey. Childhood days are the nicest days of one's life I believe with no worries and carefree lives of us before starting our very fast and tough routined practical lives,running from here to there and facing new challenges each and every day. Actually my whole family is a music loving family and another chronic problem with our family members is that we all are the fans of the same singers and actors of the world,that's a nice sign and it seems as if we all are at the same page. So when this song was released , in those days my father bought a 90 minute tdk cassette and gave it to one of his friends to record it over and over again up til the end of the given cassette.,moreover he used to play it most of the times when he was at home.,and you know that how sharp are the brains of the children when they are small according to the psychaitrists.We were three siblings, me and my two younger brothers,so we kept on learning automatically by heart whatever was being played during that particular period of our innocent childhood lives, by our elders..Now I am 51 years of age and happily married for 23 years mashaAllah. God Allah the almighty bless you people of the entire band. The poetry of the song was so touching,people use to cry after listening to it. We children also witness such moving scenes at our home off and on as our father use to go for official duties to different cities and counties of the world throughout his official career. My father died at the age of about 72 years on 12th of may Monday 2014 ,12th of Rajab1435AH. He was a very pious person ,may his soul rest in peace..05:.00am,hot and humid monsoon,Friday,30th of august,2019,Zilhaj28th,1440.AH , Rawalpindi,Islamic Republic of Pakistan .Asia. Mrs Afzal Mian .

Wow I remember listening to this on the old Bedford School Bus.Happy days indeed!!Such innocent times.

Lovely song to forget your troubles,

Спасибо, за дорогие сердцу воспоминания.Песня из моего детсва.Как же легко она ложилась на детский слух,хотя в то время ни единого слова не понимала.

I came to Germany in July 1976. This song remember this time to me. At the time you could everywhere ear this song. Kiss for me..............................

My young son sang this all day. He was 2,5 years old at that time and could not yet pronounce all consonants correctly, which made it sound hilarious 😊.

My God, what à eurovision masterpiece

Cuando todo era bonito, inocente y habia esperanza...

awesome...this is the year i went into the military...wish i had known about eurovision back then...at least i am enjoying these videos now...those were great times back then...

The song was already a clear winner immediately the cheerful introduction. Definitely one of the best songs from Eurovision. Great Britain 12 votes
