The song is a perfect illustration of the time period in which it was performed ; a very upbeat 1980s-style dance song , performed by three impossibly clean cut young men - fellow Swedish Eurovision participant Tommy Körberg famously dubbed them " the dancing deodorants " in the press , a derogatory nickname that stuck with them for the rest of their career in their home country - and the nonsensical title harking back to previous entries such as " Boom Bang-a-Bang " , " Ding-a-dong " and " La , la , la " . The song has achieved considerable fame among Eurovision Song Contest fans , with a well-known archive of Contest lyrics using the domain name diggiloo.net , named after it . Despite the reception the song receives today , in the run-up to the Contest it was not an immediate favorite to win ; bookmakers Ladbrokes had Ireland 's " Terminal 3 " and Italy 's " I treni di Tozeur " as higher favourites , so the song winning came as a surprise to many
