Did I have you fooled? Did you think you were going to be treated to a song from a Dutch national final in 1999? A roller-coaster of a song featuring spot-on vocals and a look to match? Well i’m the bringer of bad tidings. Yes, we have a song about some of Europe’s best bits. But it doesn’t include twins, a desktop or a geek in a white polo-neck. Maybe tomorrow… This song tied for second place in 1990 and featured a guy at a piano who perhaps thought he was the next Udo Jürgens (God bless him). Liam Reilly didn’t win, but he signalled the start of his country’s dominance of the decade. Liam is 60 (yes, 60) today.
Happy birthday, Liam!
