Contest overview
The contest was held at 18 March 1962 at 21:30 CET (20:30 UTC) and lasted approxminately for 1 hour and 30 minutes.[7][8] The event was hosted by the Luxembourgish speaker Mireille Delannoy.[1]
After France's entry had been performed, there was a short power failure rendering the screens dark. There also seemed to be an even shorter power failure during the Netherlands' entry, when viewers around Europe only saw darkness on their television screens when the Netherlands performed. The power failure seemed to affect the Netherlands' score during the voting. Nevertheless, the song turned out to be popular in Europe after the contest.[1]
