- Sing Sang Song was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 in The Hague performed by the Les Humphries Singers. The song consists largely of the title being repeated. However, the other lyrics are a plea for global unity – to be provided by singing the song. Though the recording is in German, the live performance at the contest contained both German and English lyrics. In the final, the song was performed third, following Switzerland and preceding Israel. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 12 points.

- Sing Sang Song was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 in The Hague performed by the Les Humphries Singers. The song consists largely of the title being repeated. However, the other lyrics are a plea for global unity – to be provided by singing the song. Though the recording is in German, the live performance at the contest contained both German and English lyrics. It had originally placed second in the 1976 German national final, but the original winner, Der Star, was disqualified as it had already been performed in public. Because of this, "Sing Sang Song" went to The Hague in its place as it had finished second in the German selection. In the final, the song was performed third, following Switzerland and preceding Israel. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 12 points.
