Luxembourg ish entry in theEurovision Song Contest 1987 , performed in French byPlastic Bertrand . This was the third occasion on which Luxembourg had been represented by an international act which had already enjoyed a level of fame - with bothNana Mouskouri and disco duoBaccara previously doing so. Plastic Bertrand had previously achieved success with "Ça plane pour moi" in 1977, a decade before the Eurovision appearance.The new wave-inspired song, co-written by Plastic Bertrand himself, deals with the power of love. The singer describes himself as going into a "dungeon" for the sake of the emotion, as well as being "full of good vibrations" as a result of it. Further, love is likened to a "cowboy", with those whom it possesses being likened to "Indians". The lyric also contains a description of the singer experiencing love on "Friday the Thirteenth", with a sixteen-year-old girl.
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following the
Netherlands ' Marcha withRechtop In De Wind and preceding theUnited Kingdom 's Rikki withOnly the Light ). At the close of voting, it had received 4 points, placing 21st in a field of 22.It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1988 Contest by
Lara Fabian withCroire .References
