I'd like to go back to TP's original question...He's right about the two songs but can someone answer me this.....The Netherlands entry, when translated into English, is 'When it's all about love' or 'If it concerns love'. Sandie Jones' song title is 'What do I do'. I found the song on 'Limewire' & got the lyrics translated & they're nothing like Sandie's version.....I remember the words to that one, but when I saw the lyrics to the Dutch one, I was totally confused....yet the tune, of course, is the same... ???

The duo who did the original also recorded it as What Do I Do on Philips 6012 208 back in 72 so they did the translation themselves.To add fuel to the fire the Dutch translation is " Ifs Its About Love ".

Hi TP...I have visited many web-sites in search of this song, from the UK & the Netherlands. I have found three titles for it (so far), when translated into English: 'When it's all about love', 'If it concerns love' & 'If it's about love'. I think we can safely say the it's a 'Love'-ly song! Grin

Here's another shovel of coal for the fire Grin

I've just arrived back from a Eurovision site and I get TWO English titles for the Dutch song.;;;;;;;;
1 Where Love Is Concerned.

2. When It's All About Love.

It would have been ok if they just used the opening line Na Na Na Nana as it translates the same in any language. Wink

Now another Eurovision question which i came across only recently Sir Cliff Richard finished 2nd in 68 with Congratulations and finished 3rd in 73 with Power To All Our Friends but i have since discovered he had a hit with another Eurovision song which surprised me as i never knew the song originated in the Eurovision.Thats the good thing about this record / business you can learn something new every day.

Ok TP....After some very careful research, I discovered that: In 1973 - Cliff sang in 'A song for Europe' (that is Britain's Euro song selection). He sang all the songs that night & 'Power to all our Friends' won. But he also released another song from that selection, which was 'Ashes to Ashes' - not to be confused with David Bowie's song. Is that the answer you're looking for? If not, well it's some more info for ya! Tongue

Hey TP!....Have you got a European language translator handy? Nearly all the Euro songs I found were in a foreign language! I'm not that clever y'know!.... ???

Irene Mccoubrie born in 1950,represented Ireland twice in the Eurovision, once in a solo capacity and once as part of a group but who is she,and what links her with Adele King and Barbara Dickson( the irish one,not the scottish one)?
