Guildo Hat Euch Lieb!

About Guildo Hat Euch Lieb!

"Guildo hat euch lieb!" ("Guildo loves you!") was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in German by Guildo Horn & Die Orthopädischen Strümpfe. The song was performed ninth on the night (following Israel's Dana International with "Diva" and preceding Malta's Chiara with "The One That I Love"). At the close of voting, it had received 86 points, placing 7th in a field of 25. Written by television host Stefan Raab under the pseudonym "Alf Igel" (a reference to prolific composer Ralph Siegel), the song is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the schlager style for which Germany had become known at previous Contests. Horn (whose backing band's name translates as "the Orthopedic Stockings") sings about his desire to return to "a time of tenderness/When Caressing and Cuddling and Loving/Were always written with capitals" and "When I daily wrote in a poetry book:/Yoo hoo hoo – I love you". He promises the object of his affections - singing in the third person - that if she is ever sad, he will come to her house and sing songs. Later still he expresses a desire to fly away to the stars, before explaining that "If the stars weren't so far away/And from there I'd send you the proof of my love:/Nut wedges and raspberry ice cream". The performance was equally tongue-in-cheek, with Horn climbing on the lighting gantries of the stage while dressed in a green velvet shirt, as well as playing a series of cowbells during the song. He also came into the audience, and ruffled the hair of Katie Boyle, former Eurovision hostess and guest of honour. Perhaps unsurprisingly, footage of this performance appeared in a montage of "Unforgettable performances" at the Congratulations special in late 2005. The single release also saw a video produced with a similarly irreverent take on things. more »

Guildo Hat euch Lieb!
Guildo hat euch lieb
Und wenn's auch mal Tränen gibt
Kommt er rüber und singt für euch Lieder
Guildo hat euch lieb

Es gab eine Zeit
Eine Zeit voller Zärtlichkeit
Da wurde Knuddelnd und Knutschen und Lieben
Immer groß geschrieben
Ich denk' gern' zurück
An die Zeit von Harmonie und Glück,
Als ich täglich in ein Poesiealbum schrieb:
Piep, piep, piep, ich hab' Dich lieb

Guildo hat euch lieb
Und wenn's auch mal Tränen gibt
Kommt er rüber und singt für euch Lieder
Guildo hat euch lieb

In meiner kleinen Welt
In der der eine zum anderen hält
Und in der Deine Tränen nicht lügen
Lernen Träume fliegen
Da wär' ich so gern
'war den Sternen nicht mehr all zu fern
Und von dort schick ich euch meinen Liebesbeweis
Nussecken und Himbeereis

Guildo hat euch lieb
Und wenn's auch mal Tränen gibt
Kommt er rüber und singt für euch Lieder
Guildo hat euch lieb

Ich denk' gern' zurück
An die Zeit von Harmonie und Glück,
Als ich täglich in ein Poesiealbum schrieb
Piep, piep, piep, ich hab' Dich lieb

Guildo hat euch lieb
Und wenn's auch mal Tränen gibt
Kommt er rüber und singt für euch Lieder
Guildo hat euch lieb

Guildo hat euch lieb
