With music by Lotar Olias and lyrics by , the song is an up-tempo number in the style of early rock and roll hits like \"Rock Around The Clock\" by Bill Haley & His Comets. In the song, Quinn explains to the object of his affections that he is not happy with the number of other men she goes out with over the course of the week. She sees Jimmy on Sunday, Jack on Monday, Johnny on Tuesday, Billy on Wednesday, Tommy on Thursday, Ben on Friday and \"someone I don't even know\" on Saturday. Quinn declares that \"I've loved you since you were a baby\" and explains that he drives her to the office, sends her flowers and \"takes you mother...to the zoo\" and thus feels that he deserves better treatment than this, but despite his abilities at dancing the boogie and cha-cha-cha, she ignores his entreaties.The song ends with Quinn's own confession that \"But if you were thinking I've been sitting at home/I've been going out with someone else every day\". Honours are thus even. The song achieved moderate fame in Japan, where it was rerecorded in Japanese as \"Kimi Wa Maiban No\".

        "TitleAbstract_en": { "type": "literal" , "xml:lang": "en" , "value": "\"Ne crois pas\" (French pronunciation: \u200B[nə kʁwa pa], Don't believe) is a song that was performed in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 by French singer MichÚle Arnaud. It was the first of two Luxembourgish entries in the contest and was performed in French. In contrast to most of the other entries of this Contest, the song is an up-tempo number, with Arnaud telling a friend or lover that the fact that he looks good at the moment is largely meaningless. She tells him that his looks are due to his youth and that, as for the rest of humanity, he will lose his hair, gain weight and possibly lose his teeth as well. Thus, she tells him that he should \"take advantage of it\", rather than simply enjoying his looks at the time. The song was performed sixth on the night (following France's Mathé Altéry with \"Le temps perdu\" and preceding Italy's Franca Raimondi with \"Aprite le finestre\"). As the scoreboard of this Contest has never been released, definitive statements about scores and positions are impossible to make, however the song did not win. The song was accompanied at the 1956 contest by Arnaud with \"Les amants de minuit\" and was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1957 contest by DaniÚle Dupré with \"Amours mortes (tant de peine)\"." } ,

This apparent anomaly is due to the rules of the 1956 Contest allowing (for the only time to date) each competing country to be represented by two songs. Assia represented Switzerland singing both songs (one of only two performers to do this), and had previously performed \"Das alte Karussell\" in German (\"Refrain\" was sung in French). The song is in the classic chanson mode and laments the lost loves of the singer's \"adolescence\" (the French original reads \"vingt ans\", which can also be rendered \"twenties\" in English). The song was performed 9th on the night of the contest, following the Netherlands' Corry Brokken with \"Voorgoed voorbij\" and preceding Belgium's Mony Marc \"Le plus beau jour de ma vie\". It was the winner of the contest, however the number of points given to it was never revealed.
