I used to work at the reception desk of Hotel Saga. Whenever some company had their annual staff party they would invariably at some point play this song in the ball room and sing along really loud and I would pray that the attendees wouldn't crash through the floor 😂. At the same time I really enjoyed it ❤️.
My little brother was a baby boy, when this came out. Everytime when he was cryin, we played this song and he stopped immediatly and began to laugh and smile 😄
And, Yeees, We have a Winner....Danmark. Yeees, your so Wright about that. Sounded so good, looking so good ( it was 23 years a go) .There are still " My cup of tea ". Heja Danmark.
I remember this too good....back in the day there was a telephone Hotline where you could hear little bits of every participant's song and when the Olsen Brothers came on my mom and I instantly said THIS would be the winner in a perfect world...where no East European countries shuffle their neighbors all the high points 😢 When they really won I broke down laughing and crying, I was so happy and not only for these 2 wonderful guys but also for me because this marked my first and last time I got the winner right 👍❤️
This song has it all, the lyrics, the melody, the rhythm, the chorus, the latino style, their beautiful voices and two grown men with a guitar, and the song is timeless
This song is one of those one's when you hear them you know that's the one, that's the winner. Absolutely simple (no fireworks and other crazy stuff), still absolutely phenomenal! Hats off, Olsen Brothers!
I am from Denmark and i was born in 1996. I remember keeping my self awake and my mom yelled to my Dad:'' Keep yourself awake, if you ever want to se Denmark win.'' But for me this song is just great both in English and Danish.
What about insieme 1992, rock me baby, hold me now and what's another year I'm a huge Eurovision historical fanatic Estonia in 2001 (winners) were also good= everybody
The young woman with long red hair at 2:02. Her name is Bianca and she were my college when I worked in H&M back then. I was so chocked to watch her on TV and told her at work.
Who is here in february 2020!!! Seriously one of the best winners in all time. You know why? No glitter and glamour, no arrogance, no fake show. These guys including the lovely background ladies have really fun and sincere positive vibes. The lyrics and the music touch your heart and soul. No synthesizer artificial so called music but sheer quality. This song proves that being humble, respectfull and love always win. Also the short speech in which the winners thank the public is exemplary. The arrogance of the human race including the book makers this song had no chance of winning. How do you dare to say "old" has no chance at all!!! By winning they proved that age does not matter. It is about quality! The back ground ladies did not need to show off their body or dancing skills but with simple dance movements and their nice vocals they earn respect!
in a sense as a Latvian I'm a bit sad that seems like it was Latvia that brought the ''show'' aspect to it kinda with Marie N and undressing shtick. After that every winner brought a show there
My Nana was from Copenhagen, always felt a little bit Danish. I was 19 when this was the winner. I remember, I had quit university in the first year and I was feeling pretty down, this helped me a lot! Simple pleasures.
You are Great "Olsen Brothers" Thank you from Music lover from Finland. This is one of the best (may be the best) winners of all time In Eurovision Song Contest history.
The bookmakers had a hard time predicting anything those years (1998-2003). They didn't have a clue onhow the public would vote and they were still basing most predictions on the juries....
I remember hearing Conchita Wurst for the first time and thinking this will win... bookmakers had it at 66/1... always kick myself I didn't place money on it
It was a similar story in 1994, Ireland had a similar act, two men, no acoustics etc. with their song the Rock and Roll Kids not expected to win and they did. Talk about history repeating itself lol
The funny thing is that I actually remember some parts of this and later on same year I heard it on the radio. I was like 3 years old...but this is part of my childhood summer memories. Getting a bit nostalgic. Greetings from your neighboring country Sweden.
Back in 2000 I was in Samarkand train station waiting for a train when a girl started singing the Russian contribution to Eurovision. Little did I know then that a Danish duo won Eurovision that year that I had listened a lot to back in 1973-5. I think the girl sang the song to show me that she knew some English. Solo was in English. I even learned the lyrics to the song back then.
This song and the danish version (Smuk som et stjerneskud) became a huge partyhits in Denmark. It was played at almost every party and in every bar I went to in my youth. Great times!
I remember watching this in 2000 among my friends. It was absolutely clear, these are the winners. It was spectacular, i loved it. Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany ❤
I was just watching this Eurovision for the first time and it's SOOO 00's! 🤣 This song is great, surprising but really great! And they seem to be really loved by the ESC community too! ❤
Right?! Sweden the year before and this one are winners I still remember to this date. I know who won after them but I only listen to them if I want to refresh my memory. This is an instant classic I still remember and know the lyrics.
In all the years I've followed Eurovision since 1989 this is the ONLY time my favourite song from the contest went into triumph. Great song. Just knew it was a winner after they'd performed it. I would of loved to of been old enough to enjoy Eurovision in the golden era of the 70s and 80s. Modern Eurovision is lame but that being said I loved ESC 2000, a very strong contest with many decent entries. The last good contest I'd say.
La sencillez es la clave del éxito que perdura infinitamente en el tiempo. Una cancion maravillosa cantada sin ruidos ni estridencias que hace que cada vez que la escucho, mi corazon se adormezca en sueños inolvidables. Gracias.
Definitely one of the great Eurovision winners. To think 10 years later the song would switch genres with XTM feat Annia, and produce a dance classic! Testament to how so so brilliantly the song was written.
I really like this song. It may be one of the biggest surprises in ESC history (they were apparently 150-1- the longest shot ever in ESC), but it's a pleasant one.
@@johnkane2314 their odds were on and off depending on the day, two weeks before the contest they were indeed at 125/1 (probably because of the danish version).
Love that moment the director abandons the shot plan at 2:11 to show the audience. There is no way this would have won without the atmosphere in the venue and the feedback from the audience that night. And thanks to the Olsens for simply taking a long bow rather than screaming THANK YOU WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Tim Klok This is why: www.billedbladet.dk/kendte/danmark/musik/broedrene-olsen-er-skuffede They got rejectet by DR, which is Denmarks Radio who have the rights for Eurovision, they instead got some free tickets for the show !!
I was downright dissapointet, and instead came up with something really lame.... Take that from a Dane... Stupid DR and with their political China thingy
This song feels very ahead of it’s time for Eurovision. It feels like a 2013-14 era winner. The guy is so charming too! Love this song well deserved win.
In the summer nights, when the moon shines bright Feeling love forever And the heat is on when the daylight's gone Still happy together There's just one more thing I'd like to add She's the greatest love I've ever had Fly on the wings of love Fly, baby, fly Reaching the stars above Touching the sky And as time goes by, there's a lot to try And I'm feelin' lucky In the softest sand, smiling hand in hand Love is all around me There's just one more thing I'd like to add She's the greatest love I've ever had Fly on the wings of love Fly, baby, fly Reaching the stars above Touching the sky If you just fly (Fly, baby, fly) Fly on the wings of love (On wings of love) Reaching the stars above (Fly, baby, fly) Touching the sky Fly on the wings of love Fly, baby, fly Reaching the stars above Touching the sky Fly on the wings of love (Fly, baby, fly) Fly, baby, fly (On wings of love) Reaching the stars above (Fly, baby, fly) Touching the sky If you just fly On wings of love
That knowing look he gives to his brother at 1:07, followed by the nervous chuckle at 1:11 They had seen the lights of the whole arena lit up. So charming. And after the song... a deep long bow to the audience. The song was genuine as can be. The melody was great and the lyrics reflected a man's love of a woman over the years, which only gentlemen like the brother's could have experinced over the years.

This made my day❤
How delightful. It's still a shit song though.
Fly on the wings of love, homie. Spread the positivity.

Great song and a worthy winner
Greatest Eurovision song ever.
The crowd reaction ❤️❤️✊
He has one of the nicest male voices I've ever heard!
Best song in Eurovision song contest
This is one of those songs that you hear and you instantly go, 'Yep, that's the winner'.
It actually was not so obvious back in the day
And, Yeees, We have a Winner....Danmark. Yeees, your so Wright about that. Sounded so good, looking so good ( it was 23 years a go) .There are still " My cup of tea ". Heja Danmark.
I thought it half way through the song and got kudus in Ireland because of it 😏
I remember this too good....back in the day there was a telephone Hotline where you could hear little bits of every participant's song and when the Olsen Brothers came on my mom and I instantly said THIS would be the winner in a perfect world...where no East European countries shuffle their neighbors all the high points 😢 When they really won I broke down laughing and crying, I was so happy and not only for these 2 wonderful guys but also for me because this marked my first and last time I got the winner right 👍❤️
Yeah, this song is one winner material. The key they used was simplicity and 'Love'.
THIS Is Eurovision!
This song has it all, the lyrics, the melody, the rhythm, the chorus, the latino style, their beautiful voices and two grown men with a guitar, and the song is timeless
He sings through his nose and that silly effect on his voice. Good song but his nasle vocals, yuk
The second i heard this song i knew this was a winner. greetings from ur neighboring country norway!
23 years later I'm stilling singing this song from time to time! xD
Love this song, a well deserved winner. Still listening to it in 2024.
Thank you denmark for this absolute gem! Forever legends ❤

One of the best songs in Eurovision history 👌
The best I think and I would have being only one year old when this came out.
Jaa,måste hålla med dig!
Ein bisschen Frieden... also was beauty 😊❤
What about insieme 1992, rock me baby, hold me now and what's another year
I'm a huge Eurovision historical fanatic
Estonia in 2001 (winners) were also good= everybody

Im actually looking for the remix cover of this... But man its amazing!
Proper music, nice words, well sung and not over staged......in other words, proper Eurovision.
in a sense as a Latvian I'm a bit sad that seems like it was Latvia that brought the ''show'' aspect to it kinda with Marie N and undressing shtick. After that every winner brought a show there
August 2020!
I mean they did have some artificial autotune at 2:21, but it was added in nicely.
I was 10 years old when I watched this, and I still love this song so much!
My Nana was from Copenhagen, always felt a little bit Danish. I was 19 when this was the winner. I remember, I had quit university in the first year and I was feeling pretty down, this helped me a lot! Simple pleasures.
Dear God.... I remember this song when I was 2-3 years old and my mom sang this song for me.
Thanks for making me feel old :-)
This songs gives me the most incredible vibes every time I hear it.
You are Great "Olsen Brothers" Thank you from Music lover from Finland. This is one of the best (may be the best) winners of all time In Eurovision Song Contest history.
I think the best song on Eurovision of all time
Getting goose bumps every time I hear this brilliant harmonies😍❤🔥👌
I remember the bookmakers predict 14th place for this song.
Oh boy am I glad they were so wrong
Stefan Sigfinnsson that’s why you should never trust the odds
The bookmakers had a hard time predicting anything those years (1998-2003). They didn't have a clue onhow the public would vote and they were still basing most predictions on the juries....
They said it was "just another ballad" and also because they were the oldest performers. One of the best Eurovision songs ever
I remember hearing Conchita Wurst for the first time and thinking this will win... bookmakers had it at 66/1... always kick myself I didn't place money on it
It was a similar story in 1994, Ireland had a similar act, two men, no acoustics etc. with their song the Rock and Roll Kids not expected to win and they did. Talk about history repeating itself lol
one of the best winning songs ever.
Yes!!!
Yeeesss !!!!
no abba
or Loreen or Måns
DEFINITELY!
This song is older than me, however I still believe its the best winner ever
As soon as you heard this on the show, you knew it was a winner. Such a special song that reminds me of happier days
The funny thing is that I actually remember some parts of this and later on same year I heard it on the radio. I was like 3 years old...but this is part of my childhood summer memories. Getting a bit nostalgic. Greetings from your neighboring country Sweden.
+Lydia Smith Not all Swedes ofc, but if you're a 90's kid or older you probably know this yes.

Oj,oj, vad att höra riktig musik, för en gång skull. Det var på den tiden,man sjöng på RIKTIGT.
Eurovision har aldri hatt autotune.
I born in 2008 and this is still a feel-good song I don't care how old it is, thank you, Olsen Brothers.
all europe made a standing ovation, it was a magic moment
Beautiful song, greating from croatia
slazem se , nesto najlepse dosad na ESC ... Greetings from Macedonia (Y)
The best song in the history of ESC.
When music was composed and written by one person: the singer himself! Great stuff! My all time favourite!
Back in 2000 I was in Samarkand train station waiting for a train when a girl started singing the Russian contribution to Eurovision. Little did I know then that a Danish duo won Eurovision that year that I had listened a lot to back in 1973-5. I think the girl sang the song to show me that she knew some English.

Sadly, a good song seems to be forgotten! Good melody, progression and melody and sentiment. Thanks!
Fantastic song! Greetings from the country above🇳🇴
Definitely one of my all-time favourite songs, let alone Eurovision Winner. Happy to say I voted for this one back in 2000.
Tonight I've heard this song for the first time. Wow, what a beautiful old-school melody and singing!
I remember watching this in 2000 among my friends. It was absolutely clear, these are the winners. It was spectacular, i loved it. Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany ❤
Could listen to it forever!
До слёз...песня в исполнении двух братьев
One of the best performances in Eurovision history 👏
I was just watching this Eurovision for the first time and it's SOOO 00's! 🤣
This song is great, surprising but really great! And they seem to be really loved by the ESC community too!
❤
Listen to the audience, just epic! :D
My absolute favorite ESC song of all time
When music was music, good old times.....
Mariban Salvador brought it back last year!
@@channelname2938 Focus was on the music, not on the presentation. Thats the important difference imho.
you mean... in 2000?
You know what the best music? The music from the stone age! Man they don't make this music anymore!
ok boomer
I watch it in 2018 and this song in my opinion is so beautiful!
Happy song, keeps on going , even after many years. I also ike it that they have so much fun on stage.
Still in love with this song… just like back then… the wings of love take me back ❤️🔥🕊
OMG what good memories I have of this great song. It was a hit in this period!! I just love ittttt!!!
I could fall in love this song...so magical!
2021: You sit on your Bike and drive, suddenly this Song came in my Head and i start to sing the Refrain loool
One of THE BEST songs to ever come out of Eurovision!
i came here to compate this song to the winner of 2018 and damn .... the difference is atonishing
Right?! Sweden the year before and this one are winners I still remember to this date. I know who won after them but I only listen to them if I want to refresh my memory. This is an instant classic I still remember and know the lyrics.
One of the best entry's that have win the competition!! And so acctually!!
FANTASTIC! I ♥️ DENMARK.
Still the best ever Eurovision song of all time for me.
I remember this, I was 10 years old. Loved it back then, still love it now.
2000 were a magic year in Eurovision nearly all the songs were good, that had never happen since, and i dont think ever will happen again.
2019?
The UK entrant in 2000 was rubbish.
lmfao "nearly all songs were good"
*cuts to Israel's "PingPong" entry*
@@peterr1921 I thought 2019 was a strong year as well. Sorry to see Sweden lose in the end. Norway was also a blast. Good year for scandinavia.
Well 2021 made it happen again :)

Only 6/1 I know I backed them

So good this one, listning to it every now and then and its such a pearl
That laugh at 1:11- magic!

I was downright dissapointet, and instead came up with something really lame.... Take that from a Dane... Stupid DR and with their political China thingy
They chose swedish Herreys instead, wtf??
Sure, we're brothers but not TWINS!!!!
Now that is some quality music, no lasers and other stuff needed.
Still classic, I remember i sheered more for Danmark as swede, then Sweden. My first Eurovision song felt in love in..
Finland is better than Sweden 🇸🇪
This have to be the absolute best song ever in eurovision!!
I think this was the best Eurovision Song ever !
One of the best, love it love it love it! But I've said this before and I'll say it again... The very best winner of ESC xx
Great song
Dank fürs hochladen an die Olsen Brothers. Grüße aus Deutschland
Other than ABBA and Lordi, why these Olsen Brothers come next to mind when talking about great Eurovision winners? They're so good?
Without doubt the best winning song EVER in Eurovision brilliant absolutely brilliant well done guys.
This song feels very ahead of it’s time for Eurovision. It feels like a 2013-14 era winner. The guy is so charming too! Love this song well deserved win.
Doesn't get old... 2021 ans still enjoying it

HERE THIS SONG FOREVER
!!!
One of my winning songs ever
I agree with whatever you mean.
How i can consider this song in one word: incredible 👏👏👏👏👏
to those that doesnt know, there is a danish version (original version) called
-Smuk som en stjerneskud
In the summer nights, when the moon shines bright
Feeling love forever
And the heat is on when the daylight's gone
Still happy together
There's just one more thing I'd like to add
She's the greatest love I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
And as time goes by, there's a lot to try
And I'm feelin' lucky
In the softest sand, smiling hand in hand
Love is all around me
There's just one more thing I'd like to add
She's the greatest love I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
If you just fly (Fly, baby, fly)
Fly on the wings of love (On wings of love)
Reaching the stars above (Fly, baby, fly)
Touching the sky
Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
Fly on the wings of love (Fly, baby, fly)
Fly, baby, fly (On wings of love)
Reaching the stars above (Fly, baby, fly)
Touching the sky
If you just fly
On wings of love
Very upset that I don't remember it from the actual time - although I was about 6-7 months old what can I expect... Love itt
