Well, her entry in the Melodifestivalen 1988, 100%, was way better. But Lotta Engberg has always been a good singer and entertainer. Her joyful warmth saves this entry. 7/12.
If you feel that your day is grey, the earth will still turn It doesn’t care that much of, who left and who came Soon the sun will shine again, over a bed of flowers Warm winds from the past, will play you an refrain Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll Play cool music on your Walkman Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll A smell of summer and romance Do you want to live and do you want to dance?

I was just a kid, but I really wanted the Melodifestivalen runner-up to win Arja Saionmaa with her song Högt över havet. Arjas song has had more longevity than this one in Sweden. Nothing against Lotta, her song 100% and Julieete & Jonathan were so much better and she's a wonderful performer.
Agree... She, or Norway's Kate Gulbrandsen or even Finland's Virve "Vicky" Rosti could have well won instead of the crybaby whose birth name is Sean Sherrard.
Jeg har senere hørt en dansk version af sangen med Birthe Kjær. Og jeg må desværre indrømme, at den svenske originalversion ikke når den danske til sokkeholderne.
Canción tan agradable como intrascendente, deja muy poca huella. Tema flojo, arriesgado muy por debajo del nivel de Suecia y del festival. Lotta Engberg lo intenta con encono pero era una misión tan imposible! Su décimo segunda posición con 50 puntos es desde luego generosa! De verdad alguien en Suecia pensó que iban a ganar con esto? 6 Puntitos.
Can't believe the lead singer was supposed to be 26 at the time of singing! She looks about 10-12 years older. This was just a mess- the Scandinavian languages and calypso music just don't blend. Also their dance attempts are incredibly stiff and awkward. Also almost dropping her at the end LOL! Silly...
I am both Swedish and German speaking, but compared to Germany's entry with Laß die sonne in dein Herz, the same year, this was more fun to watch and far more entertaining.....
Swedish censorship at it's best ..... In the original they sing "Fyra bugg och en Coca Cola" which is also the name of the song. But because Bugg was a chewing gum brand and Coca Cola well coke they had to remove it because it was on Swedish television and considered illegal an commercial.
This song is my guilty pleasure, so much chill in there🙏

Una canción que invita a la fiesta,muy festivalera¡¡¡
Estoy de acuerdo. Aunque la canción es en sueco, parece bonitísima!
If you feel that your day is grey, the earth will still turn
It doesn’t care that much of, who left and who came
Soon the sun will shine again, over a bed of flowers
Warm winds from the past, will play you an refrain
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
A smell of summer and romance
Do you want to live and do you want to dance?
Dare to laugh and dare to take a chance?
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman
La lalala lala lalala…
La lalala lala lala…
La lalala lala lalala…
La lalala lala lala…
You that has been longing so much
You will reach all you ever longed for
Look forward and you will see, it will all soon happen
Down to the sea by train and car all of our gang is travelling
Warms summer winds will play our refrain
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
A smell of summer and romance
Do you want to live and do you want to dance?
Dare to laugh and dare to take a chance?
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman
A song searching its way through
Gives us the warmth and a new harmony
It feels ok, don’t say no
Dare to dance and sing like us
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
A smell of summer and romance
Do you want to live and do you want to dance?
Dare to laugh and dare to take a chance?
Boogaloo, dancing rock ‘n’ roll
Play cool music on your Walkman

Es de mis favoritas de eurovision ese año, es muy divertida.
I was just a kid, but I really wanted the Melodifestivalen runner-up to win Arja Saionmaa with her song Högt över havet. Arjas song has had more longevity than this one in Sweden. Nothing against Lotta, her song 100% and Julieete & Jonathan were so much better and she's a wonderful performer.
Good quality! Thank you! Many memories are connected to this song :)
desde que canto abba ese festival nunca fue lo mismo ni lo será jamás abba serán únicos por siempre en eurovision.
Fyrra bug och en Coca Cola! 🇸🇪
“This is a Eurosong”, says Terry.
Was he asleep during the rehearsals this year?
joking aside, this was a very fun song which Lotta performed well.
Doesn’t even sound like a Eurovision song. Just some fun tune
@@shineonyoucrazydiamond824definitely sounds perfect for the contest for it’s time, look at wind from that year
How did this place so high in Eurovision 1987?
Because people thought it was good. I am one of them ✌🏻
It’s pretty much a made for Eurovision song
Eurovision 1987: Electric Boogaloo :D
Great song should then be in a higher position
Agree... She, or Norway's Kate Gulbrandsen or even Finland's Virve "Vicky" Rosti could have well won instead of the crybaby whose birth name is Sean Sherrard.

Dansa I Neon debió ganar el Melfest ese año.
Wonder why the change from fyrra bug och en coca cola
The ebu had a rule about using copyrighted company names

She looks about 10-12 years older.

Silly...
Only 26 ?? No !! Much older
Everyone looked older in the 80's.
I am both Swedish and German speaking, but compared to Germany's entry with Laß die sonne in dein Herz, the same year, this was more fun to watch and far more entertaining.....
She was 24 at 1987 and singing on the orginal lyric:"-4 Bubble-gum and one Coca-Cola" 🥤
Vadå rocken rola? De ska va fyra bugg o coca cola är de mandela teorin igen?

Boogaloo is also the original title of ABBA Dancing Queen.
Bullshit.
It is true!
@@marbe166 The demo title was
boogaloo

It was Eurovision rules that didn't allow commercial branding, not specifically SVT. It was 'Fyra Bugg & en Coca Cola' at Melodifestivalen after all.
Sweden’s worst ever entry. Hate it!
