| - Save Your Kisses For Me was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 performed by Brotherhood of Man. It was written by Tony Hiller, Martin Lee and Lee Sheridan. An up-tempo pop song, it told the story of the conflicted emotions of a father going to work and leaving his beloved 3-year-old child behind. At the contest, it was the first song of the night preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, it won with 164 points, receiving over 80.4% of the total vote - the best under the current 12-point scoring system and the second highest among all scoring systems behind Tu Te ReconnaƮtras. The song went on to incredible success across the continent, making it to #1 in 6 countries including the United Kingdom and the top 10 in 6 more. It also made #1 in Australia and topped the easy listening charts in the United States. It remains the biggest selling Eurovision single of all time, and was ranked the fifth best Eurovision song at the Congratulations gala in 2005. The band still remains together to this very day.
