Who's here after the performance by these guys 40 years on after tonights qualifier ?
The guys put a smile on my face, they're still doing and looking great, they were excellent tonight. 💪☺
Oh yes! Their performance took me back to my "golden years" of Eurovision 😀
I was just about to say this! The guy on the left the bald guy now seems to be the youngest. Are they brothers ?
They were good!
I was 7... Just wanted to see if I could recognise them... 🤭
Heads up guys, none of them are dead! So no need to worry. This is just a nice little reupload
Is it the 40th year aniversary since their win???
@victorweilinye7024 The 40th anniversary's exactly on the 5th of May this year but they're prob going for an early reupload :)
People are obsessed with death, I guess. Which is quite annoying, I agree.
First time the Swedes have won since Abba!
@@victorweilinye7024 Yes, kinda. The Herreys won the Melodifestivalen on February 25th
Who watched them during semi-final just few minutes ago? :)
Me. I loved it and the whole semi finals show tonight was brilliant
Great
I thought it was awesome tonight as well much tougher to call the semi 1 was. Still surprised Latvia made it through, absolutely delighted I love the song, just surprised lol. Also sad for Denmark, sand was a great song
Me :)
As a Swede I can confirm they are all very much alive and kicking:)
They are celebrating 40 years of their win this year, probably why the clip was uploaded
What about the backing singers, the commentators and the conductor? Someone must have died ...
@@joshlevicq6823 Your brain did.
it should be time for their comeback now!
@Lex_C
😭 How rude ... 😂😹
what do you mean? wasn't 1984 like less than 20 years ago?
This. This is proof that you can go first in the running order _and still win!_ One of my all-time Eurovision favorites! Hello from the United States. 💙
Such happened with Saba in DMGP this year
Well, back then it was jury vote only. It's harder today to win from first position because of the televote. Juries are not affected by running order because they have to listen to and evualate every performance.
@@baxthered National finals are not comparable. Saba did not have to compete against 25 other songs.
@@kennet7837 I understand, I was just including something fairly similar
@kennet7837 Fair point. Then again, Alexander Rybak placed first in Semi-Final 2 of 2018-that was split jury & public. Sure, Rybak was already a big name, but still: it's not impossible. 🙂
What a treat to see the Herreys performing on the Eurovision last night, they are amazing as ever. And they look fab 40 years later.
They are back after 40 years 😍😍
They were never gone 🙂
Search them on RUclips, they’ve always been singing 🏅
Still convinced if this song was in any modern Eurovision, it would still place high.
... Really??
It was shite
Probably not but mainly because of the performance. These days in Eurovision you have dancers, a lot of lights and movement, while the most movement they do here is bending their knees and spinning. It was actually a bit retro when they replicated this performance in the semi-finals.
They did pretty well at the second Eurovision semi final today!
And they had ‘the same’ shoes on tonight!
Who else just watched them at the end of semifinal and came to see the original ha ha
Certainly did haha😀
Me too 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Meee
They were brilliant!! Still love this song - 40 years later
Wow they haven't lost it apart from the hair 🎉
Love to my fellow Scandinavian/ Swedish 🇸🇪 people from Denmark 🇩🇰. RETROTASTIC FANTASTIC❣️❤️😍❤
tack @roseroseroseroseroserose
"The dancing deodorant sticks" as they're also called. Love it.
Lmao 😂
That's amazing lmfao
Comment by Tommy Körberg who never won Eurovision himself... He is known for critizing other performers.
I can't help but think of Huey, Dewey, and Louie when I see these guys, and that's not a bad thing!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought the same
That’s amazing! I see perfect 1980’s Ken dolls 😁
That moment where the trumpet player thought about his wife at 1:39
😂
😂😂😂
I don't understand a word of what they're singing but somehow I'm loving this song haha
Swedish idiom
There is video on RUclips where they Sing in english.
@@ARI_RUOTSALAINEN I remember the commentator commenting about the awesome gold boots, but no-one knew until the end (when they sang it in English) that the song mentioned them :)
Amazing. Countries must sing in their own language! Especially the Nordics! From Israel 🇮🇱🎗
Get lost
@@RealHealthyGuidance you too jewish hater
"Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" was the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 performed in Swedish by the trio of brothers Herrey's, representing Sweden. Lyrics were written by Britt Lindeborg, and the tune by Torgny Söderberg. It was produced by Anders Engberg and Torgny Söderberg.
The song is an upbeat 1980s-style dance song, performed by three clean-cut young men - fellow Swedish Eurovision participant Tommy Körberg (Sweden 1969 & 1988) famously dubbed them "the dancing deodorants" in the press, a derogatory nickname that stuck with them for the rest of their career in their home country- and the nonsensical title harking back to previous entries such as "Boom Bang-a-Bang", "Ding-a-dong" and "La, la, la". Despite the reception the song receives today, in the run-up to the contest it was not an immediate favorite to win: bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland's "Terminal 3" and Italy's "I treni di Tozeur" as higher favourites, so the song winning came as a surprise to many.
The song itself deals with the lead singer discovering a pair of golden shoes in the street one day. He puts them on and immediately feels like dancing in the street, entering a "magical world". Thus, he wishes for everyone to have a pair. The English translation, which the group sang in their winning reprise at the Contest, took much the same theme.
FUN FACT 1: Lotta Engberg was one of the backing vocals for Herreys. She represented Sweden at Eurovision 1987 with her song "Boogaloo".
FUN FACT 2 (NOT RELATED WITH HERREYS): 19 years old Désirée Nosbusch hosted the show. 40 years later she hosted the Luxembourg Song Contest which was the first National Final after Luxembourg made a comeback at Eurovision after 31 years break.
This song was actually a back-up for melodifestivalen, just like Rim Tim Tagi Dim for Croatia this year . What a coincidence they uploaded both songs today
@Cruz100man Sverige 🇸🇪
With Luxembourg’s return to the contest this year and 2024 being the 40th anniversary of Luxembourg’s last hosting, fingers crossed RTL opens up its archives and offers us a high-quality upload of the 1984 contest sometime soon.
One of those uncommon instances when the first performance of the night wins the whole thing. It is possible!
Lyrics with English translation:
*Diggi-loo diggi-ley - Herreys*
-
Blixtar och dunder, magiska under - Lightning and thunder, magical wonders
Plötsligt en dag har det hänt, åh… vilken tur - Suddenly one day it happened, oh… what a piece of luck
(Du är en lyckofigur) - (You are a lucky devil)
-
En dag i staden, (du gick där och tänkte) - One day in the city (you walked there thinking)
På esplanaden, (då såg du nåt som blänkte) - On the forecourt (you saw something glistening)
Det kändes som jag hade vingar - It felt like I had wings
Åh… vilken underbar dröm - Oh… what a wonderful dream
-
Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me
Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes
Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street
Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling
-
Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up
Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes
Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly
I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes
-
Jag har visioner för millioner - I have visions for millions
Gyllene dojor för dig och lyckan är gjord - Golden shoes for you and happiness is a fact
(Säg mer, vi tror på ditt ord) - (Tell us more, we trust your word)
-
Tänk dig ett hinder, (det flyger du över) - Imagine an obstacle, (you'll fly over it)
Vingar på skorna (är allt vad du behöver) - Wings on your shoes (is all you need)
Åh… jag kan bli vad jag önskar - Oh… I can become what I want
I min förtrollade värld - In my magical world
-
Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me
Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes
Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street
Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling
-
Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggy-loo diggy-ley, the sky was opening up
Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes
Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly
I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes
-
Det var en önskedröm men jag måste medge - It was a wishful dream, but I have to admit
Att när jag vaknade vakna' jag med glädje - When I woke up, I woke up with pleasure
Jag, en sång och en dansman - Me, a singer and dancer
Åh… åh… - Oh… oh…
-
Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up
Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hаrdly believe your eyes
Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish
Åt alla gyllene skor - For everyone golden shoes
-
Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish
Åt allа gyllene ѕkor - For everyone golden shoeѕ
Thanks! That shines a whole new light on their shoes!
They still perform very well today! ❤
Sweden is the best at Eurovison song contest as always 👏👏👏
Sweden is the best.
this song is really bad actually. 😅😅
@@nacht98why?
@@nacht98this song is one of their best, actually.
This is one of my favourite songs. But Sweden is not the best at Eurovision!
...det är knappt man sine ögon tror... that this favourite ESC song of mine is now already 40 years old and I am still singing along to it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s so simple to share good vibes and entertain people. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect all of this years esc-artists, but these guys were better than every of tonights semifinal acts.
Even if the song‘s 40 years old and has no fancy light show or stage elements, they nailed it totally and brought a smile to our faces. Thats passion!
1:39 That trumpet was a BIT off
That's the charm of live music ;)
Who afret second semi final?)
Excellent preformance, so fun and charming ,good vocals, pure joy
2024 and they’re not only still performing the same song just as well, they’re also still doing all the same moves!
Watching from Spain 🇪🇸. Wow, I didn't remember, but when they sang it tonight for the 40th anniversary it just clicked and I went back to my childhood and started clapping and dancing and singing along! I loved it then and I love it now even though I don't understand a word 😊. They were as great tonight as then, so I had to look it up here. Much better real music back then, without the need for extras but talent. They say there is an English version, so I'm going to search for it. THANK YOU HERREYS, and HAPPY 40th anniversary!!! 🏆🥇🎉🍾
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎙️*...Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley...*🎶🎵🌠👏🏻
P.S.: Oh my God, just found the English version, I think that's the one I was more familiar with in Spain as a kid!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, FANTASTIC!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼💃🏼
I was 11 then and somehow I remembered that chorus and those golden boots ..🤣
Thank you Sweden for always sending beautiful men with catchy songs to Eurovision song contest 😄❤️
Third and final time that the song on first went on to win.
This far... 😊
@@Tejiknasten of course, it’s “final time to date”, but I’m certain we will never again see the first song on winning. But who knows?
Recuerdo ver Eurovision ese año con mi libretita para ir apuntando qué países me gustaban más. Tenía 13 añitos! 😅 Los Herrey's actuaron los primeros (qué difícil!) y se llevaron mi mejor puntuación. Cuando al final ganaron me puse muy contenta!
I love how in-sync their dancing is 🩷
Only Swedes could win Eurovision with a silly little song about dancing and singing in golden shoes AND singing first
My favourite Swedish contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest, ever!
Boomzi boom boomzi bam
Hello Europe we come
Almost forgot Sweden has its own language.
They are going to have to use a distinct colour scheme, becos we can't keep thinking that someone has died, everytime we see an old clip!
They used to... Pink for those who are still alive, Blue for those who passed away
They should just use black for the departed ...
Zeitlos dieses Lied, auch nach 40 Jahren immer noch gut zu hören und vor allem die choreographie begeistert...
I'm Australian. I remember seeing them win this Eurovision song contest. If only we could go back to 1984, but in a good way!
My 3 favourite songs in 1984 were :
- I treni di Tozeur by Alice & Franco Battiato (RIP) for Italy 🇮🇹
- Silêncio e tanta gente by Maria Guinot for Portugal 🇵🇹
- Lady, Lady by Bravo for Spain 🇪🇸
Oh Portugal was my absolute 12er that year! What a gorgeous melody
Wow, all of them are in my personal top four from 1984:
1st - Italy 💜
2nd - West Germany 💙
3rd - Spain 💛
4th - Portugal 💚
Portugal's entry that year was just so hauntingly beautiful if I might say so myself haha
@@joshlevicq6823 Taste 😍💋
I bought this in English in 1984.i love it
They need to release 1979 Germany dschinghis khan in high-quality
Jawohl! 💋💕
This was a big hit in Poland at that time.
That's cool as Poland didn't even participate back then ...
@@joshlevicq6823
Yes, first time in 1994.
But the competition was broadcast on Polish television already since 1965!
In Poland, New Years Eve would not be possible without Boney M, ABBA and "dschinghis khan he ho Leute" :)
I loved that, and still
I love this song, so many years ago and I still love it ❤❤❤
1984-2024 and still going strong! This will live forever!
It's still such a good song. 😍
No. It isn't.
Well done Sweden for putting an amazing show tonight ❤ Thank you for the music - the retro songs made our night. 👏👏
En av de bästa som har vari i Eurovison Song Contest. Så bra koreografi... Och glädjen.. Först lite sp'änning när börja sjunga...
Their harmony's were better than today's M&M's. A really wholesome trio; what is there not to love?
Sweden always delivers the best melodies
Not always, no.
Not this nursery rhyme, though. Italy should've won in 1984.
I love this song it drives my kids nuts 😂
40th anniversary performance in semi final 2
Lightning and Thunder... Magic and Wonder
They still got it!! Honestly that was the best way to close out the second semi-final! Happy 40th anniversary Herreys!!Not that I’m hating because the Dons killed it but who else is shocked that Latvia made it? I personally thought he was good and have always liked the song but I didn’t imagine it would get through I’m just glad it wasn’t all dance breaks going through lol Sad about Saba though they’re performance was amazing to me and Sand is such a good song.
Oh, this was the reference for that Boomzi Boom Boomzi Bam satire comedy skit.
De opptrådte nettopp i semifinalen i ESC i Malmø.They performed moments ago in the second semi final of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmoe, Sweden.
I don't know why, but I love it !!!😁😁😁
THE SHOES! OMG...
I wasn't quite ready to be born for another few months when Luxembourg hosted, how things change.
Mycke bra jag gillar på Herreys 12 points From Finland
Almost forgotten..this was and still is such a nice song and catchy tune.
I think this is so catchy....just love it and love the video...pity we don't see the other 2 close up!❤
Sweden's first boy band!!! They performed this song and Summerparty at the Barcelona ESC Pre-party last week. They also performed at the Melodifestivalen after party in March.
RIP Akira Toriyama
We lost a True Legend too.
❤️🇯🇵
הם נהדרים!!!!
When will Sweden send another song in Swedish to ESC?
If Medina wins Melfest tonight, well... then this year!
WOW❗De här killarna är imponerande. WOW❗These guys are impressive.
❤❤❤❤🎉 Супер песни, очень круто ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
They were great sang it better yesterday 40years on danced great, great performance
Where can I vote for this? 😂
Прекрасное время для Европы: хорошие песни, традиционнве ценности, мир во всем мире... Жаль, что время не повернуть вспять... Жаль обычных людей, чья жизнь разрушена...
О чём вы вообще!? Жалко не Европу, а вас
Are they preparing the interval act in Malmo?
One of my first memories was when I had just turned 5 and my parents were dancing around the living room because Sweden won.
My childhood s song ❤
Looks like a random upload, but it is a favourite of mine. It will make me happy in an instant

Love you guys!! ❤🇸🇪

Yessss a high quality reupload
eran geniales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donna from scotland,aberdeen is in love with richard herrey.x
❤ youth sentiment 🎉
Of course it's fun to watch this nowadays, but back then it would have been better for the contest's reputation if Ireland, "Karma" and Switzerland had won the editions from 1984 to 1986 ... It took Johnny Logan and Céline Dion to regain some credibility.
Als ik de video’s van Jan Bors mag geloven, wordt het dit jaar niet veel beter 😬😬😬
Who's here from Goat Simulator 3?
So we are only allowed a close up of the guy in red and not the others. Also that far back shot is completely useless as you can hardly make out anything.
You better don't watch the whole contest from 1984 ... 😄
I have a thing to tell you, can you put in RUclips Sweden 1974?
Goat sim 3 led me here
I found this through goat simulator 3 😂
It's a happy nice song and all, but I kinda feel that Finland was representing that year with a similar kind of song from Kirka, "Hengaillaan". But I liked Kirka's song more myself. I think it didnt do well in the competition. r.i.p kirka
Kirka actually reached the top ten (9th place exactly) - back then a really good result for Finland!
Knatte, Fnatte, Tjatte vibes xD
