On The Sun" was turned down for Mary Hopkin in 1970 but later became identified with Nana Mouskouri. Likewise in 1971, "Something Old, Something New" failed to make Clodagh Rodgers' final six but was released by The Fantastics, reaching #9. Jonathan King is reported by Eurovision fans to have claimed that 1984 chart-topper "I Should Have Known Better" by Jim Diamond had failed to be short-listed for A Song for Europe, as had the 1986 hit "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" by Samantha Fox, but no confirmation has ever been made. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice submitted a song for the 1969 contest, "Try It and See", which was rejected. It was later re-written and became "King Herod's Song" in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Lloyd Webber returned to compose the 2009 UK entry, "It's My Time", in collaboration with Diane Warren.
