"Geen ander" - Annie Palmen
The Dutch Final was due to be held on January 23rd at the Tivoli in Utrecht, however due to a strike by the musicians in the orchestra, the final was never broadcast. Instead, Annie Palmen sang all 3 songs for an "expert" jury who picked the winner.
1 | Kijk, daar is de zon | Look, there is the sun |
2 | Geen ander | Nobody else |
3 | Hoor je mij | Do you hear me |
The lyrics of the song were later changed, and the song title became "Een speeldoos" (A musicbox). Annie Palmen came 13th equal at the Eurovision. She had previously taken part in the 1960 Dutch Final, where she sang the winning song, but wasn't chosen to perform it at the Eurovision.
