Cult Clip: Eurovision 1974 - Gigliola Cinquetti
As it's Eurovision tomorrow, it seems rude not to stick up a clip. But which one? A winner? A really poor loser? Well, in the end, we've gone for this clip from 1974 - Si by Gigliola Cinquetti, which made second place in 1974, just behind winners Abba.
We went seeing Morrissey some time back - and part of his support was a large screen showing old clips of the Eurovision and the New York Dolls - and this really stuck in my mind, for better or for worse.
If it's a bit too classy for you, check out some truly atrocious entries from Belgium on YouTube, including Telex (the poor man's Kraftwerk) and a true shocker in purple catsuits from 1973 - Nicole Josy and Hugo Sigal.
it's GIGLIOLA... :-)

re: the Belgian 1973 entry, Jean-Marc's never looked better.
The scary thing about the Telex clip is that a lot of people on Youtube actially think it's really good.
