Regular readers of this blog will know that we're great fans of Happy Everything, the song that came joint 1st in the UK's Song For Europe in 1980, but was pipped at the post by the vastly inferior Love Enough For Two.
Well it's taken nigh on 30 years, but some sort of justice has been done in the OGAE Retro 1980 Contest, which pitted songs that didn't make it to Eurovision in 1980 against each other. And coming out on top, quite rightly, is Happy Everything. You can find more details of the voting here
It's the 2nd year in a row that the UK has triumphed in the Retro Contest; last year Liquid Gold won with their 1981 entry, Don't Panic.
But back to 1980. Eurovision Express is confident that had Maggie actually been the UK's entry in that year, it would have given Johnny Logan a good run for his money.
