It would be sacrilege to not mention Cliff Richard in this 60’s retrospective of Eurovision. Already an established star the Summer Holiday singer took to the stage in 1968 wearing a regency inspired outfit stolen from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to belt out his Eurovision classic Celebration. Of course Cliff did not win as he came in second but at least he can be rest assured his strange inverted cock leg stomp chicken dance will live on in Eurovision glory continuing to inspire future contestants in future crimes against choreography. Just ask Blond who represented Sweden in 1997 with their tribute to Sir Cliff, Bara hon älskar mig.
