Eurovision Song Contest 1967 , performed in French byMinouche Barelli .Written and composed by
Serge Gainsbourg , the song is part of the long Eurovision tradition of nonsensical titles and lyrics. Barelli begs to be given the chance to know love and to experience "other paradises" before everything is blown up. The phrase "boom boom" and a countdown are repeated throughout the lyrics.The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following
Norway 'sKirsti Sparboe withDukkemann and precedingYugoslavia 'sLado Leskovar withVse Rože Sveta ). At the close of voting, it had received 10 points, placing 5th in a field of 17.It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1968 Contest by
