It's part 2 of our 1973 rewind and we're diving back into the world of creepy men and excitable music, this time featuring the debut of Israel and the divine presence of Sir Cliff Richard, OBE. Are Millan and Ellis still fighting about Monaco? Will Quinn actually enjoy a happy song for once? Where have the depths of Jonathan's research taken him and does he need a flotation device? Find out all that and more on this week's Eurovision Rewind podcast. You can watch the full 1973 grand final here,and the Belgian entry here. vocabgumbo.com

70s! Groovy! Piano rock! Yeah! Ellis is out on assignment this week so Quinn comes back to help Jonathan and Millan make sense of the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, and what a contest it is. From ice skater jumpsuits to kumbayahs to angry disputes, our unstoppable train of rewinds takes a stop in Luxembourg for a year of 17 songs, including the debut appearance of Israel. Did anyone come with good hair? Did Monaco come with a good song? Does the flag of Colorado make for a good dress? Tune in to find out! You can watch the full 1973 grand final here,and the Belgian entry here. vocabgumbo.com

EUROVISION 1990 IS OVER AND I, FOR ONE COULD NOT BE MORE GLAD! We wrap up one of the overall worst years we've covered yet, with plenty of pandering, geopolitics, and truly horrific fashion all bundled in to a shockingly dreary show. Though we, with our good friend Eurocat, have made a pledge to cover them all and so cover them all we shall! Does Yugoslavia collapse musically as well as politically? Are we in for ANOTHER undeserved UK second place? Tune in to this week's Eurovision Rewind to find out! vocabgumbo.com

Episode Notes Oh boy. This week we are taking it back to a strange, strange year for a strange, strange Eurovision; ESC 1990 held in Zagreb, present day Croatia (then Yugoslavia). In this episode, we chat Eastern European communism, how much music culture may have survived the inquisition, discount versions of songs that are discount versions of music, and so much more.

We're wrapping up the 1962 contest this week with a whip around the second half of the songs, before Jonathan reveals the results and we all get somewhat hot and bothered. From the sultry tones of Monaco to ANOTHER SONG ABOUT DING DONG we cover them all on our quest to rewind every Eurovision ever. Is the winner justified? Why does Jonathan hate straight people?

The 1962 rewind is here, bringing us back into the time of black and white video, overly formal presenters, and a disgusting amount of opera. This week, we've got more questionable subject matter, some twins, and what just might be Jonathan's least favorite song yet. What could inspire such revulsion? Tune in to find out!
