" White and Black Blues" was co-written by French pop provocateur Serge Gainsbourg, who previously had composed France Gall's winning entry for Luxembourg in 1965," Poupée de cire, poupée de son", as well as the Monegasque entry" Boum- Badaboum" for Minouche Barelli in 1967, which had finished fifth( he also had composed" Comme un boomerang" for Dani to enter the 1975 Eurovision, but the song was rejected as some of its lyrics were deemed too violent; that song was released by Dani in 2001, 26 years later, as a duet with Étienne Daho, and was a major success in France that year).
Serge Gainsbourg
Serge Gainsbourg (born Lucien Ginsburg; 2 April 1928 – 2 March 1991) was a French singer, songwriter, pianist, film composer, poet, painter, screenwriter, writer, actor and director.
Regarded as the most important figure in French pop whilst alive, he was renowned for often provocative and scandalous releases which caused uproar in France, dividing his public opinion; as well as his diverse artistic output, which ranged from his early work in jazz, chanson, and yé-yé to later efforts in rock, funk, reggae, and electronica.
Gainsbourg's varied musical style and individuality make him difficult to categorize, although his legacy has been firmly established and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.
His lyrical works incorporated wordplay, with humorous, bizarre, provocative, sexual, satirical or subversive overtones, including sophisticated rhymes, mondegreen, onomatopoeia, spoonerism, dysphemism, paraprosdokian and pun.
Gainsbourg wrote over 550 songs, which have been covered more than 1,000 times by a range of artists.
Since his death from a second heart attack in 1991, Gainsbourg's music has reached legendary stature in France, and he is regarded as France's greatest ever musician and one of the country's most popular and endeared public figures.
He has also gained a cult following in the English-speaking world with chart success in the United Kingdom and the United States (something no other Francophone artist has managed) with "Je t'aime...
moi non plus" and "Bonnie and Clyde", respectively.
Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965
Luxembourg was represented by French singer France Gall, with the song'" Poupée de cire, poupée de son", at the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 20 March in Naples.
The song, composed by Serge Gainsbourg, was chosen internally by broadcaster RTL and went on to bring Luxembourg their second Eurovision victory.
" Poupée de cire, poupée de son" is considered one of the most significant and influential songs in Eurovision history, as its victory proved that a thoroughly up- to- the- minute song performed by a trendy young artist could be just as successful as the more traditional style of song and performer which had previously dominated the contest.
Its success is said to have finally dragged Eurovision into the 1960s and changed the direction of the whole event.
Its influence was apparent immediately, as the 1966 contest saw many more countries sending entries in a contemporary pop style than had ever been the case before.
The only slight controversy following the win was a degree of reproach from the French media and public towards Gainsbourg and Gall for having submitted this song to represent Luxembourg rather than France.
Poupée de cire, poupée de son
"Poupée de cire, poupée de son" (English: wax doll, rag doll) is a song recorded by French singer France Gall.
The song was written by Serge Gainsbourg.
It is best known as the Luxembourgian winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965, held in Naples.
The song, inspired by the 4th movement (Prestissimo in F minor) from Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 1", was the first song to win Eurovision that was not a ballad.
It was nominated as one of the 14 best Eurovision songs of all time at the "Congratulations" special held in October 2005.
As is common with Gainsbourg's lyrics, the words are filled with double meanings, wordplay, and puns.
The title can be translated as "wax doll, rag doll" (a floppy doll stuffed with bran or chaff) or as "wax doll, sound doll" (with implications that Gall is a "singing doll" controlled by Gainsbourg).
Sylvie Simmons wrote that the song is about "the ironies and incongruities inherent in baby
pop"—that
"the songs young people turn to for help in their first attempts at discovering what life and love are about
are sung by people too young and inexperienced themselves to be of much assistance, and condemned by their celebrity to be unlikely to soon find out."
This sense of being a "singing doll" for Gainsbourg reached a peak when he wrote "Les SucettesLollipops") for Gall.
The day after her Eurovision victory the single had sold 16,000 copies in France, four months later it had sold more than 500,000 copies.
I Belong (Kathy Kirby song)
" I Belong" is a song that served as the United Kingdom's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965.

Kirby also recorded the song as a single, and it peaked on the music charts at No. 36 in Britain and No. 5 in Singapore.
The song tells of the joy of finding true love for the first time, after a string of bad relationships:
The song was performed by Kirby at Eurovision 1965, held in Naples on 21 March 1965.
The song was performed second on the night, following the Netherlands't Is genoeg" sung by Conny Vandenbos and preceding Spain´s ¡ Qué bueno, qué bueno!" sung by Conchita Bautista.
By the close of voting, it had received 26 points, placing it 2nd in a field of 18.
Kathy Kirby also recorded a version of the song in Italian.
