Fernando en Filippo was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 in Luxembourg, performed by Milly Scott. The song tells the story of the title characters. Fernando is a guitarist from Santiago in love with a girl in San Antonio (the exact locations of the two cities is never made clear, and the names may simply be generic Spanish locations, however there is a Santiago and a San Antonio in Chile), whom he drives to see every evening. Filippo's occupation is never made clear, however he also makes a similar trip despite the handicap of apparently not having a car. Eventually, Fernando's lover leaves him for Filippo.

  • Fernando en Filippo was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 in Luxembourg, performed by Milly Scott. The song tells the story of the title characters. Fernando is a guitarist from Santiago in love with a girl in San Antonio (the exact locations of the two cities is never made clear, and the names may simply be generic Spanish locations, however there is a Santiago and a San Antonio in Chile), whom he drives to see every evening. Filippo's occupation is never made clear, however he also makes a similar trip despite the handicap of apparently not having a car. Eventually, Fernando's lover leaves him for Filippo. The song is memorable as featuring the first nonsense refrain in Dutch Eurovision history, a series of nonsense syllables appearing at the beginning and end of the lyrics, usually transcribed as; "Tong-ki tong ti-ki kong-kong-kong/Ri-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong". The song was performed sixteenth on the night, following France and preceding Ireland. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place.
