- Brotherhood of Man performing (and cutely dancing to) "Save Your Kisses for Me", the UK entry at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest.
After winning that year's vote by one of the largest margins in ESC history, this song became one of the biggest hits to come out of the contest, even scoring big in the US (something quite rare for a Eurovision entry). It especially soared in the British charts, of course, where the group subsequently had two more #1 hits with songs "Figaro" and "Angelo".

Probably the most British British Eurovision entry in history, long live the 70s
Just ABBA that was more British...
@@guro7151 i don’t know what you mean but abba is from sweden
@@matiasleon2323 I guess he meant that only ABBA sounded more British than the actual British acts
Best decade of my life!👍🏻😀
they aren't a abba rip-off, brotherhood of man was formed in 1971/1972 with abba in 1973/1974
When a song contest was a song contest
The moment I realized this song is a parent singing to their kid I almost died from the feels
Joe Tiff pretty sure it’s just a pure innocent song.
I love your name
Ida when people read to much into shit

my stepdad used to stand me on the counter and sing this to me when I was really young
When this enthusiastic band came out to sing first, my mother said: They are going to win. And they won. What a beautiful memory of my childhood.
Bales gack
ma mère aussi !
This story is lovely
🥺
Thank you for sharing your memory
my dad used to sing this song to me and my baby sister when he would be goin to work on docks R.I.P DAD OUR WORLD XXXX
made me cry that
What a lovely daddy🥰
I heard this song on my dad’s AM radio station all the time growing up. My dad recently passed away so I looked up the song out of curiosity. It hit me so hard in the feels when I realized it’s a parent singing to their child. All of those memories hearing this song have a whole new context and I’m all the more grateful for those countless previously-mundane memories ❤️
I love you dad.
I'm so sorry for your dad this is making me emotional
Thanks for sharing this.
Indeed. That last line is a wonderful jest upon audiences!
this is so ridiculously delightful
Слезы так и наварачуют от таких красивых песен тех прекрастных времён хочется вернутся в то время .
There is something magical about this song...
yes, I think so too :)
The song is now 45 years old - and has lost none of its fascination. It cannot be overestimated that it was played live by a "real" large orchestra and - with the exception of the electric bass - completely without electronics. As an arranger, you had to think about how to set the orchestration (I like what the pianist plays especially well), the musicians still had to read notes and the drummer had to keep the exact tempo and everyone would play together and rely on each other can. It is a shame that in our short-lived times only relatively few do the work and still work with orchestras. An evergreen, still not a bit old-fashioned or boring - and it's nice that the four - aged with dignity - are still standing together on stage! Great! Greetings from Germany near Cologne to Great Britain.
I so agree with you! This performance is amazing and is so rarely seen these days: live performance with an orchestra. A truly enjoyable experience!

I totally agree. If I heard the prerecorded version of this I would be absolutely stumped if someone asked me to arrange an orchestral version. The idea of light music (music that isn't classical which could include any genre otherwise) being played by an orchestra amazes me.
Too bad about the electric bass. Ruined the entire thing. Also the electricity in the microphones. I also realize that it wouldn't be possible to sing in this casual way over the orchestra without amplification. On further reflection, it would be utterly impossible to perform this without electricity. Technology = electricity and all technology is bad when it comes to music. Trumpets aren't technology. You simply pick them off of trees. The only pure music is banging two rocks together.
When my daughter was twelve, I played this song for her...she seemed to like it, but when she heard the line "even though you're only three"...she looked at me and said "aaawwww"!!!!!...and almost cried because it was so adorable...
I know some people do not want to believe this but this song became the biggest selling Eurovision single of all time. I repeat biggest selling EUROVISION SINGLE. It is catchy. I love this song. Always puts me in a good mood. Thank you EUROVISION.
I bet you are English
It's Waterloo,not Save your kisses for me.
+Mario Cool 2 i dont know what do you mean
+andres segui Oh yeah,i thought Waterloo was the best-selling Eurovision single.But i watched WatchMojo's video ''Top 10 Eurovision songs'',and found out it was Save your kisses for me.
+Mario Cool 2 ok i watch that too
I love this song! One of the cutest songs ever written for the Eurovision. I still play it in my car from time to time to bring back good memories.
The 3 year old that this song was sung to is now 49 years old and probably sung this song to their own 3 year old that is probably now in their 20s. Time flies, and I love the 1970s Eurovision more than any other era of Eurovision.
The great times where there was still an orchestra present.
Right up until 1999, the hosts were still required to provide a live orchestra for any performer that requested it.
Yes and I think it was a throwback to the 1960s for those who wished to cling on to that time.
so true , now its down below zero !
Orchestra indeed is what makes the music a sound not a banging noise
I remember them winning it my dad was so.happy just shows how simple life was in those days well done guys xx
Какие британки безгрудые!! Сисек совсем нет!!!!
Simple? Open class warfare, electricity blackouts, no wonder we needed punk rock.
I can remember my sisters Dad singing this to me whenever he was posted away from home.
Good memory and a happy tear.
geminilady75 he'd be arrested for that now
This song & dance routine is so cheerful & innocently happy, it really warms my heart. It's so cute when they hold hands & sway together!
Я аж расплакалась .Были же прекрасные песни-хиты на Евровидении? Куда всё делось?Наше доброе ,хорошее прошлое..
а вы заметили что теперь не стало хороших песен.. нигде.. ни на западе ни в России..
Ушло... бесповоротно....
@@annakaim7288 да, и все об этом говорят. По всему миру люди пишут.
Я почему-то думал, что эта песня Битлз
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
La canción mas maravillosa de la historia de la Eurovisión
A great song for the UK, still makes me smile! (from an Irish fan) :)
same here, even when i am from Germany :)
good old times when people could sing and have not just computer animated voices and tits to show off
Potato fussiness balls
I loved this song so much. I was eight yrs of age and after they won I ran out into the farm singing it out from my heart. ❤️🇮🇪. Years later I was told I had a beautiful voice, looking back I didn't even realise it at the time. Wow, the innocence!
Cuando Eurovisión era un festival de prestigio y seguido en todo el mundo,con buena música y artistas,no el circo que tenemos ahora🇪🇸😍
Se cantaba en directo con orquesta
@@chuscrunia3645 ya lo creo,recuerdo de pequeño ver el Festival de Eurovisión con mis padres y verlo todo,ahora solo veo la actuación de España y las votaciones.Por cierto grande CHANEL.🇪🇸😍

Cierto
I was 26 when I heard this. It's still stuck in my head at times. It was a wonderful time in many ways and I miss this kind of music. This is a terrific rendition.
I was 1 ;-)
Wasn’t alive but this era of music is my favorite
Well, I was 5 years old when I heard this and it's been in the back of my memory ever since!
I was born in the Spring of 1976 during the heatwave and this song was number one in the charts.
I always listened to this with my dad and when he passed away last year I even played it on the funeral day as on of the songs
Classics
It is a catchy song i meet brotherhood of man as well a lot of times as well
You're blessed to have enjoyed growing up with a father. I am sure that he was a good person. Thanks be to God for your great fortune.
So moving..you made me cry..I lost mine last year too and i feel him in every song that i listen in every bird that is flying. Bless you and the soul of your father rest in peace ❤️🌿
С большим удовольствием слушала,вспоминала своё беззаботное детство...
Ten years ago, when my interest in Eurovision resurfaced, I only thought this was an amusing song of the times, and preferred the likes of France to win. Now, however, I am unable to resist this song's charm - I knew every word after only a few listens, and the dance routine after only an additional few. Such a sweet, earnest song about a father's love for his child can only make you feel good. A most deserved winner for the UK, an evergreen classic (even though I love France too!).
setheurovision94 I would really like France or Monaco to win, and I really thought this song is too unsophisticated-but yes, like you, my views have changed and I genuinely appreciate this song's simplicity and catchiness. It sounds so timeless!
Belgium and Yugoslavia are much more to my taste, and have aged better, but I can see why this won at the time.
Music that evokes happiness. A long, lost art.
In other words: "That's nice!"
Jason1920
People were happy back then
Oui oui !
True, I was happy back then - but not when I had to listen to utter rubbish like that - especially when there was so much great music around!
Tras,t nisc
I agree. The UK struck again in '81 with "Making Your Mind Up" by Bucks Fizz
Feeling nostalgic. :) This old Europe looks so pure, sweet and innocent now. Lost forever...
How far back would you like to go for the "old Europe"?
70s and early 80s - my childhood. :)
MY childhood too. We were living in the time of the cold war and MAD so hardly pure or innocent.
Well, "looks"was the key word in what I said. :) I understand that everything is relative. But still... don't you miss for example the good old female model? Somehow softer and more feminine. There is much more agression in girl singers today which probably reflects our own agression.
Are we sure rape rates have dropped? Try to look for a title "Which EU countries have the highest rate of sex crimes" in Google.
I was born 1992, this song feels so good. No wonder, it soared high. Anyone, 2020?
I was born in 1994, yet I adore listening it
This was the year after I left school. Remember it well.
Wow I was born in 72 and remember hearing it lots by parents and grandparents
Year 1997 here 🙋
My song I was born in 1976
La canción ya era un éxito en medio mundo antes del Festival, ya era la favorita y efectivamente se llevó el triunfo. Es una de las mejores canciones que han pasado por Eurovisión, sin duda
Muy cierto
Los ingleses como siempre haciendo trampas...
@@jcdevarg864 oh, super intelligent comment there - idiot!!
And then it rocketed off into continuous radio play.. The entire unusual and very hot & dry summer of 1976 in Europe.
Какая музыка, какое исполнение!!! Браво!!!где сегодня всё это?
Неужели эстрада по всему миру не вернётся на такой профессиональный уровень ((( очень жаль ((( печаль печально всё это.
раньше пели, а сейчас только свой гендер показывают
Ой, мне нравилась эта песенка! Знаете, как, прошло столько лет, и вот только сейчас я увидела впервые, кто пел эту песню!
Любо дорого смотреть на простых парней и девчат
Тогда не надо было быть бабой с бородой, или геем, чтобы попасть на Евровидение.
@@Rurikovich117 никто не знает, какая ориентация была у конкурсантов тогда. Это личное дело каждого
На "цивилизованного" бабомужика интереснее смотреть и проникаться "европейскими" ценностями...
J’aimais pas à l’époque, aujourd'hui je regarde cela avec une nostalgie d'une époque définitivement morte, bon enfant, sans prétention avec une énergie positive et sans langue de bois. 😢
I'm still back here 😍😍😍 the best song ever from eurovision 💕
Me encanta esta canción. Transmite un buen rollo increíble
If time travel ever becomes possible I’m going back to 1976 and staying there!!! ❤😊
This is such a lovely song, listened to it 5 times today!
a time when the eurovision song contest was judged on the song and not politics , a true classic from the long hot summer of 1976, pure magic
I agree.
It was judged by politics and it was at that time when there was a lot of hate to Greece
👏👏👏👏👏
That was when it was a song contest and not a tv (money) show.
Or judged on the quality of the special effects.
Как же здорово. И ведь это евровидение. И эта песня стала хитом и визитной карточкой группы. А сейчас...
...сейчас Дима Билан...😂😂😂
My young son sang this all day. He was 2,5 years old at that time and could not yet pronounce all consonants correctly, which made it sound hilarious 😊.
They are soooooooo cute! Like a big family! Amazing song, voices, dance and charisma!
Friendly from France.
Amazing good song !
My God, so pure, innocent!! I'm listening and believing again in pure LOVE!
просто и светло и весело и ...пусть так будет всегда !!!!)))))))))))
Ага! Благодаря МелкоБритании и её снарядам с обеднённым ураном, теперь в Тернополе, Львове и Варшаве лет 500 будет светло от радиационного заражения и весело от резкого возрастания онкологи. Как говорится сработала старинная русская пословица "Не рой другому яму..."
А теперь с переводом: Yeah! Thanks to England and its shells with the depleted Uranus, now in Ternopol, Lviv and Warsaw, 500 years will be light from radiation infection and oncologists fun. As the saying goes, the old Russian proverb "Not a swarm of another hole ..."
ВСЕ ТАК НЕ БУДЕ! БУДЕ ЩЕ ГIРШЕ!
Ils ont chanté les premier, ont placé la barre tres haute
Et les autres groupes ne s' en sont jamais remis,
Brotherhood of man etaient "simply the best"
This is such a happy song!!!!
This is just the cutest
43 yrs.ago still love the song🎶🎤
This was the REAL Eurovision, not garbage of this days !!!
So you think Dschinghis Khan from Germany in 1979 is not "garbage"?
this song was great but you are a whiny idiot
Why the f!#k is Australia in it and im australian, its got me
@@russe19642 Isn't it massive in Australia? But yeah it's ridiculous the Aussies are in it.
I like this song but a lot of the modern songs are really good too!
Han pasado 44 años de esta maravillosa canción. 1 9 7 6. EUROVISIÓN. De las mejores que han pasado por eurovisión.
Making me feel so young again listening to this song, thank you for putting it up, you have made me so happy : )
I was Three years old that year, and i love this song!
The song that got me into Eurovision. Found an article ranking British Eurovision entries on a lark, and this was the first video I watched. Sweet, sentimental, makes me smile. Takes me back to that amazing summer in Oxford in 2017, learning about music, absorbing British culture, and discovering the wild and wacky world of Eurovision for the first time. I'll never forget it.
A live orchestra to accompany the turns. Them were the days...
And the sound of the voice of the presenter that came over a phone line!
And now - eurovision is a parade of freaks! Facepalm
The problem with modern day Eurovision is that they would need at least 2 orchestras to accompany them, there are too many countries participating. One orchestra for 43 entries?! They would be exhausted!
IceCranberry maybe 3 orchestras is needed for 43 countries, Because there's semi final 1 and 2 and grand finale.
Lol .. when we called them the turns...those were the days 😀
умнички!!! песня что надо
Спасибо, за дорогие сердцу воспоминания.Песня из моего детсва.Как же легко она ложилась на детский слух,хотя в то время ни единого слова не понимала.
@@simonlaw9234 Thanks.
Iconic song and dance!
Never never never......again! They are lost and gone forever! Music,no jungle! Sound,no wild!
I was 11 in 1976 and this was the first Eurovision I can remember, and it is a great song. I've just watched an interview with them and they have all aged really well. Hard to beleive it was nearly 50 years ago.
Esta canción la escuchaba cuando era un niño y me recuerda momentos muy bonitos de la década de los 70.
Y es hasta ahora que conozco el nombre de la canción y el de sus integrantes.
La época de los tebeos del Capitán Trueno y del Jabato amarillos en los Kioscos, eso es lo que me evoca está canción, la escuchaba en la radio o la televisión, sin querer, leyendo esos tebeos, qué tiempos, sin la basura actual, ni sospechada, vamos
still remember that enjoyable song and music as it was yesterday, love it, bravo uk, from france!
pat lajungle Merci beaucoup
Iconic track I still play it regularly 😍
Before he goes to work a father says goodbye to his 3 year old daughter and asks her to "Save all your kisses for me"
Супер, были же отличные песни на Евровидении

For a while I was expecting the one with the ridiculous moustache to rip the girls' trousers off towards the end, then I realised....wrong year.
Brilliant comment.
That was 1981 with bucks fizz.
Ridiculous moustache? I've always wanted mine to look that good but never achieved it!
lol I too kept confusing the two for many years!
Ridiculous? How dare you. This was sexy in 1976 and for some, still is.
A guilty pleasure of a whole new level. :-D
When EUROVISION was still purely a musical competition. ❤
Floating on a cloud of nostalgia. 😊
Lucky those who lived back on those beautiful days
You’d probably last less than 5 minutes without a mobile
this is my favourite eurovision song lol
Mine too, SuRie performed this recently at a co cert she did, I was so pleased she did.
Same here
Вечный хит!!! Браво!!!
First out and won. The 70s were amazing
Awesome. Great to see them last night still going strong.
Cuando todo era bonito, inocente y habia esperanza...
Pues si, que tiempos aquellos!!!
Wow! This takes me back to the gold old days. Catchy tune still remembered to this day 42 years ago! Love it.
I came to Germany in July 1976. This song remember this time to me. At the time you could everywhere ear this song. Kiss for me..............................
Love this song since childhood. Like from Hong Kong
Wie is hier ook door de tv kantine 😅
Ik kende het al van 1976.....🤣

Haha mooi toch!
Милая, приятная и понятная для всех песенка на все времена)))
i used to hear this music evry morning cause it gave me energy .
From the days when music was fun.
Do singers still smile these days?
Yes, however it is now upto you to find them instead of being spoon fed.
only when their paid
They are too busy twerking, tweeting and making scandal and controversy, so nobody notices that they have no talent.
My God, what à eurovision masterpiece
Best moment in music during my youth.
When I was living इन Mumbai I had enjoyed this song. Really majestic song and era.
Lovely song to forget your troubles,
Souvenirs... souvenirs...c était une belle époque...❤❤❤Que de nostalgie...
that harmonization!! this song never fails to make me smile
Great Song! about his 3 year old daughter/son. AWESOME!
Timeless melody. ❤
Inolvidable. Grandes recuerdos y buenos tiempos.
When i was 8 years old, for my birthday my parents bought me a record player with speakers, and i had this record bought me also! I loved this song so much, i remember dancing to it…oh how time has swiftly gone by!! Anna UK. 👍❤️❤️❤️
I was only 8 when this song came out but it made it sooo big that it played for years after. Love it !!!
What a superbly performed song, excellent composition. Very clever to make it all about a parent singing to a child too, grossly underrated song.
Sawe them live a few years ago and they haven't changed much. It was a great run through thr 1970's show. Not just their own songs. A very cheery evening.
amazing song ... amazing group, adored in '76 & forever
1976. Love IT 2017👍💕
