My next entry may be from 1998, but its meaning couldn't have gotten any more current.May I present you: Gölä - Büetzer(In English it'd mean something like "hard working man", I guess.)Timeslot: 2:11+ And please the same picture as in #61.  This song is originally about the people who are working hard on construction sites etc. and get hardly any appreciation, but only looked down by other people... In spite of being only released on the artists debut album and never as a single it's become one of his most famous songs. Also I'm absolutely not into him, but still I think that these lyrics are among the top 3 of the best ones in any Swiss German song ever!
In times of Coronavirus Büetzer has gotten a bit different meaning and I heard it played on the radio more than in the last 10 years. I'm dedicating this entry to all the people who are working their asses off (sorry for that expression) at the moment to keep their entire countries going.
I wished you were able to understand the lyrics, but can't give you a translation of them. I hope that this entry will still be appreciated enough. |

Ulviyya Rahimova - In Love Timeslot: 00:36+ Ulviyya Rahimova was one of the most successful ESC national finalists of Azerbaijan, participating in the selection for the year 2010, where she was eliminated with "In Love" in the semi-final round despite being one of the huge favourites. "In Love" is a mix of jazz, pop, and folk music, and will represent Azerbaijan in the forthcoming edition of the Retro WWWSC.

This entry concludes my pre-2000s challenge. I have sent 10 entries in a row from before the 2000s and the big majority were in Slovene. One had a made-up language mix of a few of them and two were instrumental. As a last act before the Special Edition I bring back Moulin Rouge for the first time with a Slovene song.  The song is from 1989: Moulin Rouge - Za večno skupaj [Forever Together] |
