La La La Re-re-revisited

I learned some interesting things about Massiel and LA LA LA on the Internet:

1. Originally, Spanish representative Joan Manuel SERRAT was going to perfom the song La, La, La in Catalan, to protest Spanish dictator FRANCO. His initiative was not appricated by government officials and he was withdrawn from the contest. He was replaced by Massiel, who sang the same song in Spanish and won.
2. Lesley Gore ("It's My Party" "You Don't Own Me" "Maybe I Know") did a cover of this song.
3. It was the first of Spain's two wins in the Contest so far.
4. The song was composed by Ramon Arcusa and Manuel de la Calva, otherwise known as the singing duo called Dúo Dinámico.
5. The song itself is controversial for three reasons. Joan Manuel Serrat, the original performer for the song, sang it in Catalan. The Franco government would not allow that. Hence the selection of Massiel to perform the song. Catalan would not be heard in the Contest until the 2004 debut performance of Andorra.
6. Lyrically, the song is a very positive number.
7. Massiel sings about things she is thankful for, such as being given life and walking through the world.
8. The British entry performed by Cliff RICHARD came second, just a single point behind the Spanish entry.
9. There has to be over 100 La's in the song! (Has anyone counted them yet?)
