Herreys - Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley | Sweden 🇸🇪 | Eurovision 1984 

Heads up guys, none of them are dead! So no need to worry. This is just a nice little reupload

As a Swede I can confirm they are all very much alive and kicking:) They are celebrating 40 years of their win this year, probably why the clip was uploaded

This. This is proof that you can go first in the running order _and still win!_ One of my all-time Eurovision favorites! Hello from the United States. 💙

"The dancing deodorant sticks" as they're also called. Love it.

...det är knappt man sine ögon tror... that this favourite ESC song of mine is now already 40 years old and I am still singing along to it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Still convinced if this song was in any modern Eurovision, it would still place high.

I love how in-sync their dancing is 🩷

Love to my fellow Scandinavian/ Swedish 🇸🇪 people from Denmark 🇩🇰. RETROTASTIC FANTASTIC❣️❤️😍❤

I don't understand a word of what they're singing but somehow I'm loving this song haha

I can't help but think of Huey, Dewey, and Louie when I see these guys, and that's not a bad thing!

That moment where the trumpet player thought about his wife at 1:39

With Luxembourg’s return to the contest this year and 2024 being the 40th anniversary of Luxembourg’s last hosting, fingers crossed RTL opens up its archives and offers us a high-quality upload of the 1984 contest sometime soon.

One of those uncommon instances when the first performance of the night wins the whole thing. It is possible!

1:39 That trumpet was a BIT off

Lyrics with English translation: *Diggi-loo diggi-ley - Herreys* - Blixtar och dunder, magiska under - Lightning and thunder, magical wonders Plötsligt en dag har det hänt, åh… vilken tur - Suddenly one day it happened, oh… what a piece of luck (Du är en lyckofigur) - (You are a lucky devil) - En dag i staden, (du gick där och tänkte) - One day in the city (you walked there thinking) På esplanaden, (då såg du nåt som blänkte) - On the forecourt (you saw something glistening) Det kändes som jag hade vingar - It felt like I had wings Åh… vilken underbar dröm - Oh… what a wonderful dream - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes - Jag har visioner för millioner - I have visions for millions Gyllene dojor för dig och lyckan är gjord - Golden shoes for you and happiness is a fact (Säg mer, vi tror på ditt ord) - (Tell us more, we trust your word) - Tänk dig ett hinder, (det flyger du över) - Imagine an obstacle, (you'll fly over it) Vingar på skorna (är allt vad du behöver) - Wings on your shoes (is all you need) Åh… jag kan bli vad jag önskar - Oh… I can become what I want I min förtrollade värld - In my magical world - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggy-loo diggy-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes - Det var en önskedröm men jag måste medge - It was a wishful dream, but I have to admit Att när jag vaknade vakna' jag med glädje - When I woke up, I woke up with pleasure Jag, en sång och en dansman - Me, a singer and dancer Åh… åh… - Oh… oh… - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hаrdly believe your eyes Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish Åt alla gyllene skor - For everyone golden shoes - Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish Åt allа gyllene ѕkor - For everyone golden shoeѕ

Third and final time that the song on first went on to win.

Sweden's first boy band!!! They performed this song and Summerparty at the Barcelona ESC Pre-party last week. They also performed at the Melodifestivalen after party in March.

Sweden is the best at Eurovison song contest as always 👏👏👏

"Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" was the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 performed in Swedish by the trio of brothers Herrey's, representing Sweden. Lyrics were written by Britt Lindeborg, and the tune by Torgny Söderberg. It was produced by Anders Engberg and Torgny Söderberg. The song is an upbeat 1980s-style dance song, performed by three clean-cut young men - fellow Swedish Eurovision participant Tommy Körberg (Sweden 1969 & 1988) famously dubbed them "the dancing deodorants" in the press, a derogatory nickname that stuck with them for the rest of their career in their home country- and the nonsensical title harking back to previous entries such as "Boom Bang-a-Bang", "Ding-a-dong" and "La, la, la". Despite the reception the song receives today, in the run-up to the contest it was not an immediate favorite to win: bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland's "Terminal 3" and Italy's "I treni di Tozeur" as higher favourites, so the song winning came as a surprise to many. The song itself deals with the lead singer discovering a pair of golden shoes in the street one day. He puts them on and immediately feels like dancing in the street, entering a "magical world". Thus, he wishes for everyone to have a pair. The English translation, which the group sang in their winning reprise at the Contest, took much the same theme. FUN FACT 1: Lotta Engberg was one of the backing vocals for Herreys. She represented Sweden at Eurovision 1987 with her song "Boogaloo". FUN FACT 2 (NOT RELATED WITH HERREYS): 19 years old Désirée Nosbusch hosted the show. 40 years later she hosted the Luxembourg Song Contest which was the first National Final after Luxembourg made a comeback at Eurovision after 31 years break.

Zeitlos dieses Lied, auch nach 40 Jahren immer noch gut zu hören und vor allem die choreographie begeistert...

It's still such a good song. 😍

I'm Australian. I remember seeing them win this Eurovision song contest. If only we could go back to 1984, but in a good way!

Only Swedes could win Eurovision with a silly little song about dancing and singing in golden shoes AND singing first

They need to release 1979 Germany dschinghis khan in high-quality

Sweden always delivers the best melodies

Boomzi boom boomzi bam Hello Europe we come

My 3 favourite songs in 1984 were : - I treni di Tozeur by Alice & Franco Battiato (RIP) for Italy 🇮🇹 - Silêncio e tanta gente by Maria Guinot for Portugal 🇵🇹 - Lady, Lady by Bravo for Spain 🇪🇸

I bought this in English in 1984.i love it

RIP Curt-Eric Holmquist

Lightning and Thunder... Magic and Wonder

I wasn't quite ready to be born for another few months when Luxembourg hosted, how things change.

THE SHOES! OMG...

Recuerdo ver Eurovision ese año con mi libretita para ir apuntando qué países me gustaban más. Tenía 13 añitos! 😅 Los Herrey's actuaron los primeros (qué difícil!) y se llevaron mi mejor puntuación. Cuando al final ganaron me puse muy contenta!

Yessss a high quality reupload

I think this is so catchy....just love it and love the video...pity we don't see the other 2 close up!❤

Amazing. Countries must sing in their own language! Especially the Nordics! From Israel 🇮🇱🎗

I love this song it drives my kids nuts 😂

הם נהדרים!!!!

Their harmony's were better than today's M&M's. A really wholesome trio; what is there not to love?

I don't know why, but I love it !!!😁😁😁

They are going to have to use a distinct colour scheme, becos we can't keep thinking that someone has died, everytime we see an old clip!

Love you guys!! ❤🇸🇪

Where can I vote for this? 😂

When will Sweden send another song in Swedish to ESC?

Mycke bra jag gillar på Herreys 12 points From Finland

3:15

Viva España

Забавно и смешно. (funny and funny).

It's a happy nice song and all, but I kinda feel that Finland was representing that year with a similar kind of song from Kirka, "Hengaillaan". But I liked Kirka's song more myself. I think it didnt do well in the competition. r.i.p kirka

4 points.

So we are only allowed a close up of the guy in red and not the others. Also that far back shot is completely useless as you can hardly make out anything.

OMG OMG OMG Jag minns det jag var typ 7 år.

Golden shoes and "the dancing deodorants"? 😂😂😂 Why are they called like this, embedded marketing? 😊

Sweden did anime themes way before Dragon Ball lol

Прекрасное время для Европы: хорошие песни, традиционнве ценности, мир во всем мире... Жаль, что время не повернуть вспять... Жаль обычных людей, чья жизнь разрушена...

Back when Sweden sent good songs that get a deserving result ...

Of course it's fun to watch this nowadays, but back then it would have been better for the contest's reputation if Ireland, "Karma" and Switzerland had won the editions from 1984 to 1986 ... It took Johnny Logan and Céline Dion to regain some credibility.

It makes me want Sweden back 😢

Chanel has got nothing on the dance break by three singing teenage deodorants from Sweden 😜 Wonderful performance!

va не пойдем в СКУУУУЛ, мы хотим вечелиться! - поет шведская группа с непроизносимым названием-)

hi

Horrible! So many better ones Netherlands, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Germany. Maybe that time already Sweden has to win celebrate Abba's victory 10 years ago.

Oh god who passed away??
