    I think an excellent experiment would be to take a pic on a clear day with a better camera, with the horizon as centred as possible. Then to do the same again, with the camera upside down. Then to...

    I'd forgotten that 1987 entry, ten years after Ca Plane Pour Moi. I'd say it was Swedish.

    I remember that as a single, but I don't think it was a Eurovision entry. Also, he's Belgian.
