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 Rådberg and Monica Silverstrand (back then Barwén) 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 Düsseldorf 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.

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 Biβchen 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.
Finland’s 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.

In the middle of the night
There's just one thing that I can do
To make me feel alright
The way I feel about you darling
In the middle of the day
There's just one thing that we can do
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway
(You know I'm thinking about you)
Night, day, night, day
Night, day, night,
You got me working night and day
Night, day, night, day
Night, day, night,
If I could be beside you baby
It would make the world alright
The walls that fall around ourselves
Would celebrate our night
If I could be inside you darling
At the center of your life
I'd write no more upon the page
We'd live with no disguise
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway
Let's sway, let's sway

Night and day and night (you got me working night and day)
Night and day and night (you got me working night and day)
Night and day and night (you got me working night and day)
Night and day and night
I don't got no Abba
I don't play no Gabba
I like Zapp not Zappa
So please quit your jibba jabba
I've just lined up Macca
When you're in Aiya Napa
Do I look like a rapper?

The lyrics to Chips's song Day After Day talk about the intense and all-consuming feelings the singer has for someone they love, and how being with that person can make everything else disappear. The song is divided into two parts, with the first half of the lyrics talking about how the singer thinks about their loved one all the time, day and night, and how being with that person can make them feel better. The second half of the lyrics is about how being physically close to that person could make everything else even better, and how their love is so strong that they wouldn't need any masks or disguises.
The repetition of the phrase "night and day" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer is always thinking about their loved one, no matter what time it is. The use of the word "sway" to describe their desire to be with that person gives the song a romantic and sensual feel, implying that being close to their loved one is a beautiful and desirable experience.
Overall, the lyrics to Day After Day express the all-consuming nature of love and how being with the right person can make everything else disappear.
