What is the first thing you remember from Munich 1983? Propably the insane presenter Marlene Charrell! She presented the Eurovision that she thought was the Marlene Charrell show on April 23, 1983 in Munich in the ugliest setting ever and most of the time it seemed the songs and voting were only on her way. Many familiar names returned to the contest or did their first appearance: Carola, Guy Bonnet, Jahn Teigen, Mariella Farré and Gary Lux in Westend. Some songs are still remembered well today and some become big hits: Carola's Främling, Ofra Haza's Hi and Daniel's Dzuli. Turkey's song is remembered as being the most horrible Eurovision song ever, and Remedios Amaya for scoring a flat zero. Propably Quien maneja mi barca was too much ahead of its time and too different. But also Turkey got a null points! But Corinne Hermes won with Si la vie est cadeau and history would prove with this song that the era of French ballads and also Luxembourgish succeses was over.
