Eurovision Song Contest
1964 1966
The Eurovision Song Contest 1965 was the tenth edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It was held in
Naples, Italy, following the Italian victory at the previous 1964 edition. Luxembourg won, for the second time in the
history of the contest, with the song "Poupe de cire, poupe de son", performed by France Gall and composed by
Serge Gainsbourg. Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Spain each scored "null points" for the second time. The 1965
contest marked the debut of Ireland, a country which later went on to dominate the competition. This was also the
first contest with over 16 countries participating with a total of 18 entries. The Swedish entry was also sung in
English.

Location
For more details on the host city, see Naples.
The contest took place in Naples, the capital of region Campania in southern Italy and the third-largest city in Italy,
after Rome and Milan. This is Italy's first hosting of the Eurovision Song Contest. The host venue was the then new
Sala di Concerto della RAI (RAI Production Centre of Naples), founded few years prior to the contest, in the late
fifties and early sixties. It is located in Viale Marconi in the district of Fuorigrotta. The structure has three TV
studios for a total of 1227 m and capacity of 370 persons, used for the filming of programs and fiction and an
auditorium. The Neapolitan song archives are also housed in it.
Format
Each country had 10 jury members who distributed three points among their one, two, or three favourite songs. The
points were totalled and the first, second, and third placed songs were awarded 5, 3, and 1 votes in order. If only one
song got every point within the jury it would get all 9 points. If only two songs were chosen, the songs would get 6
and 3 points in order.
Participating countries
Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest
18 countries took part, with the Eurovision Song Contest reaching its highest ever number. Sweden returned after a
one-year absence, and Ireland debuted in the competition. Luxembourg won for the second time with the highly
controversial Poupe De Cire, Poupe De Son sung by teenager France Gall which later went on to be a massive hit
in almost all European countries. Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Spain all scored null points for the second time.
The competition was also broadcast via the Intervision network, to the Eastern European nations for the very first
time.
Ingvar Wixell, the Swedish participant performed his song in English instead of the original Swedish title
"Annorstdes Vals". The native languages were used for all of the other participants. This led to a rule being
introduced for the next 1966 edition, that meant all participants had to perform their songs using one of their national
languages.
Returning artists
Three artists returned for a second time in this year's contest: Udo Jrgens from Austria, whose previous
participation was in 1964; Conchita Bautista from Spain, previously representation in 1961; and Vice Vukov from
Yugoslavia, who last participated in 1963.
Conductors
Each performance had a conductor who maestro the orchestra.
