  • Papa Pingouin
rdfs:comment
  • Papa Pingouin was the Luxembourg entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 in The Hague performed by Sophie & Magaly Gilles. The song is about a penguin who is bored on his ice floe wanting to move from the Poles to a warmer place, such as "down south as far as England ... Paris, Rome, or Naples", however, it can't due to its small wings and "lead feet". It was performed 4th on the night following Greece and preceding Morocco. At the close of voting, it finished in 9th place with 56 points. Co-writer Jean-Paul Cara plays the part of Papa Pingouin in the stage performance.
