The Eurovision Song Contest 1965 was the tenth edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Naples, Italy, following the country's victory at the 1964 contest with the song "Non ho l'età" by Gigliola Cinquetti. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), the contest was held at Sala di Concerto della RAI on 20 March 1965, and was hosted by Italian singer Renata Mauro.
Eighteen countries participated in the contest - setting a new record for the highest number of entrants in the competition until that point. Sweden returned after being absent from the previous edition, while Ireland made its debut.
Luxembourg won for the second time with the highly controversial "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" sung by the French singer France Gall, and written by Serge Gainsbourg, which later went on to be a massive hit in almost all European countries. It was the first winning song since the Netherlands' "Een beetje" in 1959 to not be a ballad, being the first pop song to ever win the competition. For the fourth consecutive year, four countries all scored nul points; Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Spain - all of which finished with no points for the second time in the contest's history.[1]
Location
[edit]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 was Italy's first hosting of the Eurovision Song Contest. The host venue was the then new Sala di Concerto della RAI (RAI Concert Hall) belonging to the RAI Production Centre of Naples, founded few years prior to the contest. It is located in Viale Marconi in the district of Fuorigrotta. The structure has three TV studios for a total of 1227 m2 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.[1][2]

A new record number of 18 countries submitted entries for the contest. Sweden returned after a one-year absence, and Ireland made its first ever appearance.[1] For the first time in the contest's history a competing entry was performed entirely in a language which was not the official language of that country, namely the Swedish entry which was performed entirely in English.[3][4]
Three of the competing artists at this year's event represented their countries for the second time: Spain's Conchita Bautista, Yugoslavia's Vice Vukov and Austria's Udo Jürgens had all previously represented their countries, in 1961, 1963, and 1964, respectively.[5][6][7]

Production and format
[edit]The contest was organised and broadcast by RAI.[1] Romolo Siena served as director, Francesco De Martino served as designer, and Gianni Ferrio served as musical director, leading 48 musicians of the RAI Orchestra.[10][11][12][13] Each country was allowed to nominate their own musical director to lead the orchestra during the performance of their country's entry, with the host musical director also conducting for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.[13][14] The event was presented by Renata Mauro and was overseen on behalf of the contest organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), by Miroslav Vilček as scrutineer.[1][15][16][17]
Each country, participating through a single EBU member broadcaster, was represented by one song performed by up to two people on stage.[1][18] No entry was allowed to be commercially published before 10 February 1965; this caused an issue for the Italian entry, "Se piangi, se ridi" by Bobby Solo, which had won the 15th Sanremo Music Festival on 30 January, as around 240,000 copies of the single release had been available in Italy by the cut-off date. Although a small number of the other broadcasters participating in the event raised objections to the song competing, given that RAI was hosting the event, with disqualification of the host broadcaster considered impossible, and an understanding that there was little time available to select a new song, "Se piangi, se ridi" was ultimately allowed to compete.[13][19]
The results of the event were determined through jury voting, with the same voting system introduced for the previous year's event retained. Each jury comprised ten individuals representing the average television viewer and radio listener; as such no individuals in the music industry, including composers, music publishers, and people employed by record companies, were able to sit on the jury. Each jury comprised twenty members, who each had three votes to award in total, which could be given to one song or divided across two or three songs. Jurors could not vote for their own country, and no abstentions were allowed. The song which was awarded the most votes received five points, the second-highest three points, and the third-highest one point. If only two songs had been awarded votes they would receive six and three points for first and second respectively, and if only one song was awarded votes they would receive nine points.[20][21][22][23]
The draw to determine the running order took place on 9 February 1965 in Geneva, Switzerland. Each country's delegation was provided a 45-minute slot to rehearse with the orchestra in the contest venue.[11] Rehearsals commenced on 17 March 1965, kicking-off with Switzerland, with the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and Austria also rehearsing on the first day. Rehearsals continued on 18 March for Norway, Portugal, Monaco, Sweden, France and Belgium, and on 19 March for Ireland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Finland, Yugoslavia and the Netherlands.[24][11] Technical rehearsals were held on 20 March, followed by two full dress rehearsals ahead of the live broadcast that evening; the second dress rehearsal was also heard by the national juries.[11]
Contest overview
[edit]The contest was held at 20 March 1965 at 22:00 (CET) and lasted 1 hour and 38 minutes.[14][25] The interval act was a performance by the Italian operatic tenor Mario Del Monaco, who gave a rendition of "O sole mio", although rather than singing live he mimed his performance to a previously-recorded version.[12][13][26] The prize for the winning artist and songwriters, a medallion engraved with the Eurovision logo designed by Hans Mettel , was presented by Del Monaco.[21][12]
The winner was Luxembourg represented by the song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", written by Serge Gainsbourg and performed by the French singer France Gall.[27][28] It was Luxembourg's second contest win, following victory at the 1961 contest.[29] The United Kingdom came in second for the fifth time, while France placed third.[1][23] Austria, in fourth place, achieved its best-ever result,[7] while four countries, namely Belgium, Finland, Germany and Spain, finished in joint last place with nul points.[1]

Broadcasts
[edit]Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers.[37] Broadcasters competing in the event were required to relay the contest via its networks; non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest.[31] Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers. These commentators were typically sent to the venue to report on the event, and were able to provide commentary from small booths constructed at the back of the venue, with 20 booths ultimately constructed for the event.[11][38][39]
For the first time the contest was broadcast by members of the Eastern European International Radio and Television Organisation (OIRT), the counterpart of the EBU, via its Intervision network.[1][11] In addition to the participating countries, the contest was reportedly broadcast in Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union, with an expected global audience of 100 to 150 million.[11][40][41] Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators, are shown in the tables below.

Incidents
[edit]Kathy Kirby slaps France Gall after narrow victory
[edit]According to France Gall herself,[73] the UK act Kathy Kirby - who finished second - had upon hearing she had lost to Gall, ran over to her dressing room and slapped her.[74] In an interview she stated: "The British candidate was very disappointed because she should have won, according to her and everybody… And finally, it was me. Me, who didn’t care at all. I recall a slap: Did she enter my dressing-room only to insult me? I don’t know. Anyway, the memory that I have of it is a slap."[75]
Serge Gainsbourg's feud with the orchestra
[edit]The French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, who was the songwriter for the Luxembourgish act "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", was infamously known for his provocative comments and behaviour. The orchestra at the contest had interrupted the country's rehearsals due to a disagreement with the Luxembourgish delegation, resulting in Gainsbourg threatening to withdraw the entire act unless they cooperated. An agreement was eventually reached, allowing Gall to win the contest.[75]
