A Million in One, Two, Three

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"A Million in One, Two, Three" was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, performed in English (the first time that Belgium had not performed at least part of their entry in French or Dutch) by Dream Express.

The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Finland's Monica Aspelund with "Lapponia" and preceding France's Marie Myriam with "L'Oiseau et l'Enfant"). At the close of voting, it had received 69 points, coming seventh in a field of eighteen.

The song deals with the group needing "a million" (dollars) and pleading with "Mister President" (of a company) for a job. They go on to describe the affluent lifestyle they hope to live with the money.

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1978 Contest by Jean Vallée performing "L'Amour Ça Fait Chanter la Vie".
