"Flying the Flag (For You)" is a song performed by British bubblegum pop dance group Scooch.
[5] The song contains a liberal amount of sexual innuendo,[5] the most overt being "...and blow into the mouthpiece" and "would you like something to suck on for landing, sir?"
[6] The original music video was their final performance on Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up; Scooch recorded a new version once their contract with Warner Bros. had been signed.
[8] The song scored only nineteen points: twelve from Malta, and seven from Ireland,[3] two nations known for awarding points to the United Kingdom – although according to the Head of the Maltese Delegation, Malta voted twelve partly in protest to regional block voting which, had made the contest "not about the songs any more",[9] an opinion shared by "five or six other countries".
As part of the contract, Scooch recorded certain phrases of the song in French, German, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Danish.
