The Eurovision Song Contest 1984, the 29th event of its kind, was held on 5 May 1984 in Luxembourg. The presenter, Désirée Nosbusch, only 19 years old at the time, hosted the show in a lax manner, which was quite unusual for the show at the time. She manifested her fluency in four languages by switching between a strong transatlantic English, French, German and Luxembourgish in the course of talking, often in the same sentence. Sweden's the Herreys were the winners of this contest with the song, "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley". This was the Nordic country's second win, and the first song performed in Swedish. The previous Swedish winner, ABBA, ten years ago had performed their song "Waterloo" in English. Israel withdrew from the contest due to Yom Hazikaron (Day of Remembrance for the Fallen Soldiers of Israel and Victims of Terrorism) being commemorated on the same date. Iceland was going to participate but withdrew due to lack of financial support. 1984 is also a notable for the audible booing that could be heard from the audience, particularly at the end of the UK's performance. It was said that the booing was due to English football hooligans having rioted in Luxembourg in November 1983 after being knocked out of the UEFA European Football Championship. However, the song itself managed a pretty good showing, reaching seventh place. ==Conductors== ''Host conductor in bold'' * - Curt-Eric Holmquist * - Pascal Stive * - François Rauber * - Eddy Guerin * - Sigurd Jansen * - John Coleman * - Pierre Cao * - Jo Carlier * - Noel Kelehan * - Henrik Krogsgaard * - Rogier van Otterloo * - Mato Dosen * - Richard Österreicher * - Pierre Cao * - Selçuk Basar * - Ossi Runne * - Mario Robbiani * - Giusto Pio * - Pedro Osório 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eurovision Song Contest 1984」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
