Special Report: Controversial Entries (Part One)

Reports

Eurovision may have a reputation as being the height of inoffensiveness, but there’s actually more depth and profundity in its past than one might think.

In this two part report, Hikaru looks at entries which caused a stir both inside and outside the contest.

Part one covers the period 1957 – 1980: A kiss that caused pursed lips; the patron saint of modern irony comments on disposable pop and the atom bomb; a progressive rock entry recalls the terror of World War II from a child’s perspective; and more.
