Eurovision Song Contest 1968
London, United Kingdom
13-й конкурс песни Евровидение прошел 6 апреля 1968 года в городе Лондон, Великобритания. Великобритания впервые принимала конкурс после победы в предыдущем году.
Испания выиграла с разницей в одно очко с песней «La, la, la…», исполненной Massiel, а певец Cliff Richard с песней «Congratulations», занял второе место, представляя Великобританию, третьей стала Isabelle Aubret с песней «La Source», представлявшая Францию.
Испанию должен был представлять Joan Manuel Serrat с песней "La, la, la", однако песня на каталонском языке была неприемлема для Франкисткой Испании. Serrat был отозван и заменен Massiel, которая спела ту же песню на испанском языке.

Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
with me
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
Who could believe that I could be happy and
contented
I used to think that happiness hadn't been
invented
But that was in the bad old days before
I met you
When I let you
walk into my heart
Congratulations...
I was afraid that maybe you thought you
were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you
loved me
But then tonight you said you couldn't live
without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay
Congratulations...
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
I want the world to know
I'm happy as can be
