Guildo hat euch lieb! was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham, performed by Guildo Horn and his backing band Die Orthopädischen Strümpfe. It was written and conducted by Stefan Raab, who would eventually go on to represent Germany himself in 2000 and host the contest in 2011. The song is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the schlager style for which Germany had become known at previous Contests. Horn sings about his desire to return to "a time of tenderness/When caressing and cuddling and loving/Were always written with capitals" and "When I daily wrote in a poetry book:/Yoo hoo hoo – I love you". He promises the object of his affections - singing in the third person - that if she is ever sad, he will come to her house and sing songs. Later still he expresses a desire to fly away to the stars, before explaining that "If the stars weren't so far away/And from there I'd send you the proof of my love:/Nut wedges and raspberry ice cream". The performance was equally tongue-in-cheek, with Horn climbing on the lighting gantries of the stage while dressed in a green velvet shirt, as well as playing a series of cowbells during the song. He also came into the audience and ruffled the hair of Katie Boyle, former Eurovision hostess and guest of honor. Perhaps unsurprisingly, footage of this performance appeared in a montage of "Unforgettable performances" at the Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest special in late 2005. The single release also saw a video produced with a similarly irreverent take on things. The song was performed 9th on the night following Israel and preceding Malta. At the close of voting, it finished in 7th place with 86 points despite requests to his fans to cross borders into other countries to vote for him.
