"Save Your Kisses For Me" represented the United Kingdom in the
Eurovision Song Contest 1976 held in the Netherlands, winning the
contest. The song's lyrics described the gently conflicted emotions of a
man leaving his loved one in the morning as he goes to work. The song's
final line provided a twist that the aforementioned loved one was his
three-year-old daughter. "Save Your Kisses For Me" was released on March
5, 1976, and reached number one in United Kingdom, two weeks before
Eurovision and became the biggest seller of the year there. Furthermore
it topped the hitlists in France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium,
Norway, Finland, and Ireland. Finally the song reached no.3 on the
Year-End-Chart 1976 with a total of 7,143,000 points. |
