  • The Wages of Love
rdfs:comment
  • A double homicide of an older man and his younger lover casts suspicion on both the ex-wife and the former boyfriend of the murdered duo, with the dead man's murdered son holding the key to the mystery.
  • The Wages of Love was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, performed by Muriel Day backed by the group The Lindsays. The song is an upbeat number, in the style of many pop songs of the time. Day cautions her listeners that "when you fall in love, you pay/The wages of love". In other words, while love is a great thing to experience, "there will be bridges to be crossed/And there'll be teardrops to be lost", and one must be aware of that at the outset of a relationship.

  • The Wages of Love was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, performed by Muriel Day backed by the group The Lindsays. The song is an upbeat number, in the style of many pop songs of the time. Day cautions her listeners that "when you fall in love, you pay/The wages of love". In other words, while love is a great thing to experience, "there will be bridges to be crossed/And there'll be teardrops to be lost", and one must be aware of that at the outset of a relationship. Day performed the song in a bright green dress, made by Northern Irish dress designer Alice Campbell, taking full advantage of the then-innovation of colour broadcasting at the Contest. A brief excerpt from the performance was shown in a montage at the Congratulations special in late 2005. The song was performed fifth on the night, following Monaco and preceding Italy. At the close of voting, it had received 10 points, placing 7th in a field of 16.
