1.Chips was a Swedish country and pop group, formed in 1979 by Kikki Danielsson and Lasse Holm, and split in 1983.
Chips finished 4th in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1980 with the song "Mycke' mycke' mer", with Lars Westman, Lisa Magnusson, Mats Rรฅdberg and Monica Silverstrand (back then Barwรฉn) as background singers. After Melodifestivalen 1980, Britta "Tanja" Johansson also became a member. In 1980, the album Chips was released and short after this, Elisabeth Andreassen became a member. Just some weeks after this, they toured the former West Germany. In Dรผsseldorf the TV-show Show-Express became a great success for them.
Under the new name Sweets 'n Chips, which they used since a "dansband" also said they owned the right for the name Chips, the group competed at the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1981, and finished second with the song "God morgon". A little bit later the group was reduced to two members, since the label owner Bert Karlsson thought that "was to tall". Lasse Holm stayed as songwriter, but leftt all the singing for Elisabeth and Kikki.
With only Elisabeth and Kikki on stage, Chips won the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1982, with Elisabeth Andreassen and Kikki Danielsson singing the song "Dag efter dag". They represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 in Harrogate in the United Kingdom, there they finished 8th.
After the 1982 Swedish Melodifestivalen success, the album "Having a Party" was released, and sold around 100 000 copies in Sweden. They toured the northern parts of Europe and had a successful 1982. However, the group was split in 1983. This because they didn't get more success outside Sweden and Norway, and also because both Elisabeth and Kikki had their solo carriers.
2.When Josie Records heard the tune they signed the band and the record was issued in September 1956. Although it did not chart, "Rubber Biscuit" became an instant east coast radio favourite, and saw its performers touring alongside The Dells, The Cadillacs and Bo Diddley, but the momentum gained by their debut single was waning and the group broke up at the end of 1957.

Song composer(s): Lasse Holm
Sang in Position: 9
Final Position: 8
Total Points: 67
The fairly unknown Harrogate in the United Kingdom was this year's host city of the Eurovision Song Contest.
France was absent due to the fact that the national broadcaster thought that the Eurovision Song Contest would not be interesting for its viewers any longer. But already in 1983, France returned to the contest with a different broadcaster. Greece also withdrew from the contest, leaving 18 countries in the competition. Greece was supposed to enter the contest with the song Sarantapente Kopelies performed by Themis Adamantidis but the Greek minister of culture Melina Mercouri decided to withdraw the song just two weeks before the contest as it did not meet her quality standards.
Germany finally had its first win in the history of the song contest with its 27th try. Ein Biฮฒchen Frieden performed by Nicole beat the runner-up by 61 points. At the reprise, Nicole sang the song in four languages: German, English, French and Dutch. Over 13 million West Germans watched Nicole's victory on television and her winning song became a hit in all over Europe.
Finlandโs entrant, Kojo, also sang about peace. His song - a protest against nuclear bombs - did not do as well as Germany's, however It received no points at all. For the Belgian singer Stella, it was already the third time she participated in the Eurovision Song Contest: in 1970, she competed for the Netherlands, and in 1977 for Belgium. Her 1982 song Si Tu Aimes Ma Musique was sung fully in French even if Stella hardly spoke the language, being a native Dutch speaker.

Chips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The joy comes from all our beaks
And ringing bells is our fun
Now our ass is moving as one..
If we are forgetting all the rules that we learnt
When all the rule books are burnt
And just like a follows bOur chorus will always be
So glad to see that you came
We hope you come again etc.
I have but one true friend
She sings to me
In my solitude
And I know her name
I tried to know her..
In all her changes
But I don't know her...\
Like all birds together
We will squawk and we squeak
The joy comes from all our beaks
And ringing bells is our fun
Now our ass is moving as one
If we are forgetting
All the rules that we learnt
As all the rule books are burnt
And just as A follows B
Our chorus must always be
So glad to see that you came
We had best times
We hope you come again
Please come and see the sea
If you come
We'll have best times again
But now it's time to go
Time to go home
I have but one true friend
She sings to me
In my solitude
And I know her name
I tried to know her
In all her changes
And I don't know her place
And I don't see her face
When we come together
Then we forget ourselves
And just as night follows day
The beginning must become the end
And so we will start again
When we come together
Then we meet other souls
And then we make our goodbyes
And we lay our bones to rest
As birds we dream of the sky
Please let me go
Please help me go [Repeat x4]
So glad to see that you came
We had best times
We hope you come again
Please come and see the sea
If you come
We'll have best times again
But now it's time to go
Time to go home
The lyrics of "As You Can See" by Chips reflect themes of togetherness, joy, friendship, and the cyclic nature of life. The imagery of birds squawking and squeaking together symbolizes unity and harmony among a group of individuals, finding joy in their collective voices. The mention of ringing bells adds to the festive and celebratory atmosphere, suggesting that the group finds fun and pleasure in being together. The line "our ass is moving as one" further emphasizes the unity and synchronicity they feel when they are together.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of breaking free from societal rules and norms. The mention of forgetting the rules they have learned and burning the rule books signifies a rebellion against conventional expectations. The comparison of their unity to the alphabet, with "A follows B," highlights the idea that their chorus will always follow a certain natural order despite defying societal rules, suggesting a sense of organic cohesion within the group.
The mention of a solitary friend who sings to the singer in their solitude adds a more introspective and personal touch to the lyrics. The singer's search for understanding and connection with this friend, despite not fully knowing or seeing her, conveys a sense of longing and curiosity. This theme of seeking and attempting to understand someone or something runs parallel to the broader theme of unity and togetherness portrayed in the rest of the song.
The closing lines of the song bring the narrative full circle, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and relationships. The idea of coming together, forgetting oneself, and eventually parting ways, only to start again anew, reflects the natural rhythms and patterns of human interactions. The song ends with a sense of closure and acceptance, as the group acknowledges that it's time to go home but expresses hope for future reunions and good times. Overall, the lyrics of "As You Can See" by Chips convey a message of unity, friendship, and the inevitability of change and renewal in life.
