Mary knocks "Knock Knock"
Mary Hopkin, who came 2nd for the UK in the 1970 Eurovision, has revealed that she hated her entry, Knock Knock Who's There?
In an interview in The Daily Express, she explains that she only liked 2 of the 100 songs offered to her.
But it was Knock Knock Who's There? that Mary had to sing in Amsterdam, and, owing to its success, she also had to perform it in her summer season shows.
The interview also reveals that Mary had a little competition from Eurovision winner, Sandie Shaw. Mary's most famous song is Those Were The Days. Sandie had also recorded her own version of the song, and both records were released on the same date. Sandie's failed to chart, but Mary had a massive hit with her recording of the song.
Here at Eurovision Express, we're a little sad that Mary didn't like her entry. We actually think that, despite its somewhat cheesy title, Knock Knock Who's There? is one of the UK's better entries!
