| rdfs:comment | - Telefon, Telefon was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 in Frankfurt performed by Margot Hielscher. This song could be considered the first song with a gimmick associated with it, as Hielscher actually had a telephone with her on stage, and answering it in English, French, Italian and Spanish whilst picking up the receiver. On the closing line of the song, she picks up the receiver and says that her song (in this case, this actual song) is ending.
