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]
