Probably not but mainly because of the performance. These days in Eurovision you have dancers, a lot of lights and movement, while the most movement they do here is bending their knees and spinning. It was actually a bit retro when they replicated this performance in the semi-finals.

With Luxembourg’s return to the contest this year and 2024 being the 40th anniversary of Luxembourg’s last hosting, fingers crossed RTL opens up its archives and offers us a high-quality upload of the 1984 contest sometime soon.
One of those uncommon instances when the first performance of the night wins the whole thing. It is possible!
Lyrics with English translation: *Diggi-loo diggi-ley - Herreys* - Blixtar och dunder, magiska under - Lightning and thunder, magical wonders Plötsligt en dag har det hänt, åh… vilken tur - Suddenly one day it happened, oh… what a piece of luck (Du är en lyckofigur) - (You are a lucky devil) - En dag i staden, (du gick där och tänkte) - One day in the city (you walked there thinking) På esplanaden, (då såg du nåt som blänkte) - On the forecourt (you saw something glistening) Det kändes som jag hade vingar - It felt like I had wings Åh… vilken underbar dröm - Oh… what a wonderful dream - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes - Jag har visioner för millioner - I have visions for millions Gyllene dojor för dig och lyckan är gjord - Golden shoes for you and happiness is a fact (Säg mer, vi tror på ditt ord) - (Tell us more, we trust your word) - Tänk dig ett hinder, (det flyger du över) - Imagine an obstacle, (you'll fly over it) Vingar på skorna (är allt vad du behöver) - Wings on your shoes (is all you need) Åh… jag kan bli vad jag önskar - Oh… I can become what I want I min förtrollade värld - In my magical world - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, alla tittar på mig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, everybody's looking at me Där jag går i mina gyllne skor - When I'm walking in my golden shoes Jag dansade omkring på gatan - I danced in the street Och hela världen den log - And the whole world was smiling - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggy-loo diggy-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hardly believe your eyes Åh… jag börjar nästan sväva - Oh… and I almost begin to fly I mina gyllene skor - In my golden shoes - Det var en önskedröm men jag måste medge - It was a wishful dream, but I have to admit Att när jag vaknade vakna' jag med glädje - When I woke up, I woke up with pleasure Jag, en sång och en dansman - Me, a singer and dancer Åh… åh… - Oh… oh… - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, himlen öppnade sig - Diggi-loo diggi-ley, the sky was opening up Det är knappt man sina ögon tror - You hаrdly believe your eyes Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish Åt alla gyllene skor - For everyone golden shoes - Åh… jag ville gärna önska - Oh… I'd like to wish Åt allа gyllene ѕkor - For everyone golden shoeѕ

"Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" was the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 performed in Swedish by the trio of brothers Herrey's, representing Sweden. Lyrics were written by Britt Lindeborg, and the tune by Torgny Söderberg. It was produced by Anders Engberg and Torgny Söderberg. The song is an upbeat 1980s-style dance song, performed by three clean-cut young men - fellow Swedish Eurovision participant Tommy Körberg (Sweden 1969 & 1988) famously dubbed them "the dancing deodorants" in the press, a derogatory nickname that stuck with them for the rest of their career in their home country- and the nonsensical title harking back to previous entries such as "Boom Bang-a-Bang", "Ding-a-dong" and "La, la, la". Despite the reception the song receives today, in the run-up to the contest it was not an immediate favorite to win: bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland's "Terminal 3" and Italy's "I treni di Tozeur" as higher favourites, so the song winning came as a surprise to many. The song itself deals with the lead singer discovering a pair of golden shoes in the street one day. He puts them on and immediately feels like dancing in the street, entering a "magical world". Thus, he wishes for everyone to have a pair. The English translation, which the group sang in their winning reprise at the Contest, took much the same theme. FUN FACT 1: Lotta Engberg was one of the backing vocals for Herreys. She represented Sweden at Eurovision 1987 with her song "Boogaloo". FUN FACT 2 (NOT RELATED WITH HERREYS): 19 years old Désirée Nosbusch hosted the show. 40 years later she hosted the Luxembourg Song Contest which was the first National Final after Luxembourg made a comeback at Eurovision after 31 years break.

It’s so simple to share good vibes and entertain people. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect all of this years esc-artists, but these guys were better than every of tonights semifinal acts. Even if the song‘s 40 years old and has no fancy light show or stage elements, they nailed it totally and brought a smile to our faces. Thats passion!

Watching from Spain 🇪🇸. Wow, I didn't remember, but when they sang it tonight for the 40th anniversary it just clicked and I went back to my childhood and started clapping and dancing and singing along! I loved it then and I love it now even though I don't understand a word 😊. They were as great tonight as then, so I had to look it up here. Much better real music back then, without the need for extras but talent. They say there is an English version, so I'm going to search for it. THANK YOU HERREYS, and HAPPY 40th anniversary!!! 🏆🥇🎉🍾 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎙️*...Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley...*🎶🎵🌠👏🏻 P.S.: Oh my God, just found the English version, I think that's the one I was more familiar with in Spain as a kid!!!
