The song is about how delicious penguins are.
Trivia about penguin man: He gave them 5,000 francs each and screwed them over big time, as they never saw another dime. This single apparently sold a million copies.
Yes. One MILLION copies.
Wow I've actually seen that. 1980 must have been the best eurovision ever. And don't anybody tell me that stupid finnish metal band was the best year ever because I saw that coming. It actually inspired me to write this:
Once,
white scarved Belgians,
swayed in the wind,
and wore beards on their faces.
long before Europe became
a place with no name,
just bridges built into infinite places.
