Scott had built up a career as a successful nightclub jazz singer , which led to her being given her own TV show , '' Scott in de Roos '' , in 1965 . As a result , in 1966 , she was given the chance to take part in the Dutch Eurovision selection , where her song " Fernando en Filippo " was a clear winner . Scott went forward to the 11th Eurovision Song Contest , held in Luxembourg City on 5 March , where " Fernando en Filippo " ended the evening in 15th place of 18 entries with votes only from the UK and Ireland , continuing a run of poor Dutch results dating back to 1960 . Although " Fernando en Filippo " was something of a novelty song ( and was performed as such ) at a time when ballads dominated Eurovision , Scott would subsequently claim controversially that her disappointing result was attributable , at least in part , to racism on the part of the voting jurors
