Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt (English translation: "Why There Are A Hundred Thousand Stars") was the Austrian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967, performed in German by Peter Horten.
The song was performed third on the night (following Luxembourg's Vicky with L'Amour Est Bleu and preceding France's Noëlle Cordier with Il Doit Faire Beau Là-Bas). At the close of voting, it had received 2 points, placing it 14th in a field of 17 entries.
The song is in the chanson style and features Horten describing some of the mysteries of the world (why there are so many stars, why there are so many flowers and so on), before explaining that it proves that the point of life is to seize the moment.
The song was succeeded as Austrian representative at the 1968 Contest by Karel Gott performing Tausend Fenster.
