Telex's "Euro-Vision"

Telex's "Euro-Vision"

Taking a trip back to Eurovision 1980 is like going back to a high school maths lesson. Belgium's entry Telex came 17 out of 19 and made waves afterwards when the lead singer was quoted as saying that they'd "hoped to finish last".

Although not explicitly admitted, it was considered to be a send-up of the Contest and was the first entry to ever mention it by name in its title.
