With the country in turmoil and on the brink of war a lot of countries seized the opportunity to send songs with messages of unity, peace and understanding. The success of these messages covered the entire scoreboard from 1st to last. The contest got off to a false start as the singers for the Spanish entry walked off stage because they couldn't hear the backing track. In a clever move considering the location the Italian entry used former Yugoslav entrants Pepel in Kri (1975) as his backing group. Ketil Stokkan returned for Norway 4 years after coming 12th he fared a lot less well this time around finishing equal last. Icelandic duo Stjornin returned a couple of years later as members of Heart2Heart. The female half, Sigga, returned again a further 2 years later as a solo artist. Serge Gainsbourg was back for a final attempt to win again as a composer this time as composer of the French entry. The voting was uneventful with Italy taking the lead with the first set of votes. They relinquished for a while to Ireland after the Icelandic votes only to regain it after the Irish failed to help their own cause by awarding Italy their 12 points. Italy were more helpful to their own cause by completely ignoring both the Irish and French entries.
