On the night of the final Barelli performed 14th in the running order, following Norway and preceding Yugoslavia. "Boum-Badaboum"'s title leads to it frequently being categorised somewhat unjustly in the facile and childish 'ring-ding-bang-boom' school of Eurovision lyrics. However it is pointed out that the song's actual subject matter Barelli's desire to be able to experience life to the full before the world is destroyed in a nuclear apocalypse is anything but trivial. At the close of voting "Boum-Badaboum" had picked up 10 points (5 from Spain, 2 from Austria and 1 each from France, Sweden and Italy), placing Monaco 5th of the 17 entries.[1]

gollark: ???
gollark: That sounds like sleeping in a loop with extra steps.
gollark: There's probably not one for turtles receiving items. Though generally items don't magically appear in their inventory.
