The small city of Millstreet, Ireland, was the host for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. 1993 was the first year to feature a pre-qualifying heat for Eastern European countries. In the run-up to the contest, the European Broadcasting Union started to take into account how many potential countries would apply to enter the contest. The dissolution of the Eastern bloc and the disintegration of Yugoslavia created many new potential applicants. Because of that, seven countries from Eastern Europe had to participate in a preliminary heat called Kvalifikacija za Millstreet in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the 3rd of April, in order to go to the final night of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia and Croatia made it through the preliminary heat and made their debut in the song contest as independent nations. Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Estonia had to wait till the following year to be eligible to enter Europe's biggest musical event.

Ireland had their second victory in a row with the song In Your Eyes performed by Niamh Kavanagh who shot to fame due to the original soundtrack to the movie The Commitments. After a nailbiting finish, Niamh managed to keep the entry from the United Kingdom second with the very last vote. The UK entry Better The Devil You Know by Sonia was seen by many as the favorite to win, as Sonia had had some international hits with the legendary producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

The venue for the 1993 contest was very unusual - it was a hall normally used for horse auctions in the tiny town of Millstreet, near Cork. The contestants complained they were in the middle of nowhere with not a pub in sight. However, the Irish audience made up for this inconvenience as they enthusiastically welcomed all participating nations and also gave a special warm reception for the entry from Bosnia & Herzegovina - a country in a state of war in 1993.

Varje dag som jag kör hem från mitt kontor
Ser jag hur hon ler emot mig
Hon är nästan naken med en byst så stor
På den största bild som man kan tänka sig

Jag ska ta och ringa nån på H&M
För jag vill så gärna ha adressen
Hon stoppar upp trafiken mellan fyra och fem

Jag sitter där i kön och är inte särskilt ledsen

Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Min dingeling, den bultar så jag tror jag nästan spricker
Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Hon vänder upp och ner på stan

Och varenda morgon är det likadant
Svårt att komma fram genom stan
Alla glor och tycker hon är intressant
Och det verkar pågå hela dan

Och i varje gathörn blir det kollision
När de glott på henne alltför länge
Det blir kalabalik och dålig koncentration
Debatten är igång hela veckan lång

Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Jag drömmer varje natt att hon och jag är under täcket
Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Hon vänder upp och ner på stan

Hon är läcker, Gud, vad hon är läcker
Hon är läcker, Gud, vad hon är läcker
Hon är läcker, Gud, vad hon är läcker

Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Min dingeling, den bultar så jag tror jag nästan spricker
Gud, vad hon är läcker, åh, vad hon är läcker!
Hon vänder upp och ner på stan

Ringer till akuten redan samma dag
Ber dem skicka efter ambulans
Jag är yr i bollen och min puls är svag
Och jag verkar sakna både vett och sans

Och när man är klar med undersökningen
Säjer de: "Vad är det här för nonsens?"
När jag köper tidningen på vägen hem
Vem tror ni jag får se på den färgglada annonsen?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Arvingarna's song "Gud Vad Hon är Läcker" describe the singer's infatuation with a woman he sees every day on his way home from work. He finds her incredibly attractive, with a large bust that he can't help but admire, and he dreams of being with her. She causes traffic jams as all the drivers stare at her, and even causes accidents as people lose concentration. The singer's obsession with this woman becomes so intense that he ends up at the hospital and is told off for his silly behavior.

This song is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on male desire, objectification of women, and the power that attractive women can have over men. It highlights the absurdity of the situation, with the singer's lack of control over his feelings and the chaos this woman causes in the city.
