"Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" was composed by Torgny Söderberg with Swedish lyrics by Britt Lindeborg.
It deals with the lead singer discovering a pair of golden shoes in the street one day.
Herrey's performed "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" first on the evening, preceding Luxembourg's "100% d'amour" by Sophie Carle.
[5] The song was succeeded as winner in 1985 by "La det swinge" by Bobbysocks representing Norway.
Despite the reception the song receives today, in the run-up to the contest it was not an immediate favorite to win: bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland's "Terminal 3" and Italy's "I treni di Tozeur" as higher favourites, so the song winning came as a surprise to many.
Richard Herrey, the lead singer of the band, performed "Let Me Be the One" (1975 British entry) as part of the interval acts of the fiftieth anniversary competition Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest held on 22 October 2005 in Copenhagen.
