19 March – We’re fighting forward, despite head wind and current

Do you want an old song? You do? Well you’re in luck. It’s not only from the second Eurovision Song Contest, but it was a country’s début AND the first ever duet.

I almost got confused when this birthday flashed up today. There I was, thinking it was time to pick a song from 1989 sung by a woman in a red dress. But no, it was her namesake birthday girl Birthe Wilke. Birthe caused a scandal by what she got up to at the end of this groundbreaking performance. See if you can guess what she did?

Birthe is 82 today.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Birthe!!
