    A few of these guys were in my dad's music class when they were teens, he taught classical music but was proud of them for 'going the other way' wich meant 'PoPmusic. We played this so many times out loud, and 2024 I still love it!

      The dinge dong represents chuchbells and clocks striking and the beating of a heart.
      It's from the point of view of a woman whose husbant left her and she has resigned herself with him having left and decided his time is up after having waited for him.
      'Is it long ago , is it long ago , that you said I'm so glad ding dinge dong.
      Is it long ago, is it long ago, that the chuchbells rang for us Bim Bam Bom.
      Tick-eTock would it show , that you wanted to go
      Tick-e tickey tock and then bim bam bom
      Ticke Tock all those nights I waited for you
      Tick-e tickey tock and then bim bam bom , time was up'

    Lyrics ~
    When you're feeling alright
    Everything is uptight
    Try to sing a song that goes, "Ding, ding-a-dong"
    There will be no sorrow
    When you sing tomorrow
    And you walk along with your ding-dang-dong
    Ding-a-dong every hour
    When you pick a flower
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Ding-a-dong, listen to it
    Maybe it's a big hit
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Sing, "Ding-dang-dong"
    When you're feeling alright
    Everything is uptight
    Listen to a song that goes, "Ding, ding-a-dong"
    And the world looks sunny
    Everyone is funny
    When they sing a song that goes, "Ding-dang-dong"
    Ding-a-dong every hour
    When you pick a flower
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Ding-a-dong, listen to it
    Maybe it's a big hit
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Sing, "Ding-dang-dong"
    When you think it's all over
    They let me down
    Dry your tears and forget all your sorrow
    Try to smile while you say goodbye
    (Ding-dong, ding-dong)
    Ding-dang-dong
    When you wake up tomorrow
    When the sun is up in the sky
    When you're feeling alright
    Everything is uptight
    Try to sing a song that goes, "Ding, ding-a-dong"
    There will be no sorrow
    When you sing tomorrow
    And you walk along with your ding-dang-dong
    Ding-a-dong every hour
    When you pick a flower
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Ding-a-dong, listen to it
    Maybe it's a big hit
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Ding-a-dong every hour
    When you pick a flower
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Ding-a-dong, listen to it
    Maybe it's a big hit
    Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone
    Sing, "Ding-dang-dong!"

Edit: 1984's Sweden was first to perform too :-)
