      Denmark was also one of the big favorites to win and I suppose DR was so disappointed that it didn't win that they started losing interest in the contest which resulted in the declining results in the 90's.

    ou're a bit down in the mouth, do you think everything's all grey?
    Yes, I know how it is, of course, you know it
    But forget it for a second, let it disappear into the air
    Grab your palette, because now we'll put on the colours
    We're painting the town red and the sky white of star gleam
    All that is grey and boring gets an extra patch of colour
    Then we give the clothes of night a brushstroke or more
    And only when the sun says goodmorning and gets to work
    We'll say goodnight
    The glasses you're wearing can colour the things that happen
    So you don't see the joys others see
    But you can borrow mine for a couple of hours if you like
    Have a look around, open your eyes, come out and hammer away
    We're painting the town red and the sky white of star gleam
    All that is grey and boring gets an extra patch of colour
    Then we give the clothes of night a brushstroke or more
    And only when the sun says goodmorning and gets to work
    We'll say goodnight
    Are you still sitting inside
    Rolling down the blinds
    The joys have to be found
    Just keep at it and come along
    (Just keep at it and come along)
    We're painting the town red and the sky white of star gleam
    All that is grey and boring gets an extra patch of colour
    Then we give the clothes of night a brushstroke or more
    And only when the sun says goodmorning and gets to work
    Yes, only when the sun says goodmorning and gets to work
    We'll say goodnight

      @5Rays 2 месяца назад

      When it only got 1 point from the last 5 or 6 juries you could hardly believe it. I think the tune is stronger than the lyrics, so maybe it was the words that were marked down. I know someone on the UK jury went to the loo during it and was told on return to mark it on the rehearsals, so it got just 5 points from that juror. The juror also said Spain polarised the UK jurors, so either 10 or 1 point from them and it still got placed 4th and awarded 7 points from the UK.

It helps that I'm Danish and know the lyrics (which are really catchy). But also, after having looked up the winner and 2nd place of ESC 1989 I just don't know how this song placed below those.

    Ok, so the gimmick with Krogsgard joining the gang on stage midway through the song is a bit cheesy, but who cares - the entire song and performance are cheesy, charming, and innocently fun. I just wish the director had shown us the nuances of the staging: the singer waving to the conductor, the conductor going "what? me?" and then starting to conduct again on stage - all of this is lost due to the static photography. Shame.

    What's the song about? Because "Were painting the town red" gives me communist vibes, and idk if that'd have been allowed back then.

      I think honestly it’s about love, red’s a colour associated with love and loving one another, she’s talking about turning a bad situation into a loving one if you read the lyrics.
      Plus Denmark is one of the last countries you’d consider communist, red was just a popular colour that year costume wise too.
