Eurovision Song Contest

British legend Cliff Richard gets an early introduction to crushing disappointment when his signature hit Congratulations (still seemingly heard at every wedding and birthday party in the UK — must be a legal requirement or something) is robbed of victory. To make matters worse, he loses out to Spanish entry La La La, notable only for using the word 'La' 138 times. Richard reacts by releasing more records than one would think was feasibly possible, singing to the crowds during rain delays at Wimbledon — see you next month then! — and vowing never to set foot upon Spanish shores. Probably.
