A myth in Germany states that "German almost became official language of the USA". Actually there was a petition on having the laws written in German beside English, which was rejected by 1 vote.
If someone have been look on Eurovision that year:
Denmark: LOVE IS FOREVER ~ LOVE IS FOREVER AND EVERYONE
Sweden: IS IT TO LATE FOR LOVE? IS IT?
Iceland: HATARIÐ MUN SIGRA! ÁSTIN DEYJA!
*Hate will prevail! Love die!
