Dafna (the singer) was scared to enter the Israeli pre-selection, win it and then to have the pressure of representing the country in Eurovision, fearing she'll have a bad result. So she entered with a song that talks about a girl that might not win and just say "it's only sport".

All songs included a backing track start with a "bip bip bip" to be on time. You can hear it here and so the 2 boys know they have to "play" in play back on their drums
I agree that the live orchestra gives in these years a fresh sound to the songs BUT most of them used a backing track for the beat. For this one all drums and keyboards were recorded and only violin and trumpets play live.
I'm happy to hear that you agree that the orchestrations gave a fresh sounds. . But it's not correct that most of them used a backing track for the beat/rythm. For the 1992-edition 8 countries, Israel, Greece, France, Portugal, Iceland, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria had parts of the music on tape. The 15 other countries used 100 % live orchestra - which is a majority.
@@JeSuisRene by watching the shows very closely and looking specifically for those details. The 8 entries which had parts of the music on tape (Israel, Greece, France, Portugal, Iceland, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria) all had a group of band musicans behind the singer(s) miming instruments (often a typical small band set-up with bass, guitar, drums, keyboards) That was because the rules between 1973- 1996 prescribed that if an entry wanted to have some instruments on tape, they had to be showed on stage by the same person miming it. If you check out the German or Icelandic entry you will notice that this set-up is very viable, and none of these instruments are plugged in or having microphones. That might make one think that all instruments we see on stage in the 70s, 80s and 90s were play back and miming. But that's not quite correct. (keep in mind that instruments from the orchestras itself were always live) Many of the instrumentalist on stage also played live, but then their instruments had wires or microphones attached to them. For this contest for instance both Spains pianist and guitarist and Netherlands harmonica player played live.

i don't care about not giving a damn, the last word is a bit hard to directly translate... לצפצף is to whistle only... like when you whistle innocently when you are doing something wrong
Actually your translation "I don't mind not giving a damn" is correct. The song speaks about relaxing and treating the competition lightheartedly, so you're able to not give a damn.
First of all, all my videos are labeled "with live orchestra".Also those performances which in fact did have part of the music pre-recorded. But for this song only a percussion track was pre-recorded. In the documentary "Bag om Esc 1992" (available at youtube, just serach for it) at 23.05 into the film you will see host conductor Anders Berglund rehearsing the orchestra. If you looks closely you will see both a pianist and e-bass player in action.
One of the most energetic song from ISRAEL ever
One of the most favourites songs of eurovizion and israel!! Shalom. Kisses from yours neighbour cyprus
29 years ago. amazing song. very beautiful woman.
Very beautifully presented with a very happy felling to it Smashing!!!😂❤🎉😅😊
Great song, very catchy, but when I read the translation, I get the feeling that the Israelis took losing Eurovision in Rome very hard.
LOL
the song was written before 1992 Eurovision

Atractiva canción...con toques orientales y guitarra latina,muy rompedora para 1992.

That's correct. Thanks to our discussion I will consider to add information about wheather a performance used pre-recorded elements or not.
me:
dafna: 0:34
me: **absolutely scalped**
The little tic tic tic sound that we can hear gives the "top start" of the backing track.
So the playback musicians on stage can "play".

Too hilarious, a Eurovision song about losing the Eurovision contest! Funny that way

She sings about losing the Eurovision contest
@@EllyMoody If that is what you want to hear in it...not just in that one sentence...so that is debateable
@@rudiknol3912
Not debatable, completely literal.
@@EllyMoody when I read the lines it is debateable to me
What does the sentence "Lo ikhpat li letzaftzef" mean? To translate it as "I don't mind not giving a damn" sounds redundant and unnatural.
i don't care about not giving a damn, the last word is a bit hard to directly translate... לצפצף is to whistle only... like when you whistle innocently when you are doing something wrong
Actually your translation "I don't mind not giving a damn" is correct. The song speaks about relaxing and treating the competition lightheartedly, so you're able to not give a damn.
don-t know why this one did so well...Isreal has great songs, though.
Some Spanish flavor in that song :-)
זה רק ספורט.
Live orchestra ? not really since keyboards and drums are recorded on a tape.
But okay for violins and trumpets live
First of all, all my videos are labeled "with live orchestra".Also those performances which in fact did have part of the music pre-recorded.

She sang the song bass, otherwise it would have been in the top 3
Sorry, doesn't hold a candle to Kan the previous year.

Kobi Oshrat is a master when he's conducting the orchestra
The Swedish Orchestra was making this performance great, next time please sing in English your song sound so Arabic
Oh I prefer it in Hebrew than in English.
It doesn't sound Arabic to me
Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages so... I don't know what to tell you. back in the 90s they had to sing in Hebrew.
