Pomme, pomme, pomme
"Pomme, pomme, pomme" was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971, performed in French by Luxembourgish singer Monique Melsen. Melsen was the first native Luxembourgian to represent the Grand Duchy since Chris Baldo in the 1968 contest.
The song is an up-tempo number dealing - as the title suggests - with Melsen eating an apple. Doing so reminds her that it is Spring, which causes her to wonder if she will find love during that season, or whether she will only find "the snake". She appears not to mind overmuch, singing that she is "not even twenty yet". Melsen also recorded the song in German, English and Italian.
The song was performed eighth on the night. At the close of voting, it had received 70 points, placing 13th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1972 Contest by Vicky Leandros with "Après toi".
"Pomme, pomme, pomme" was covered in Finnish by Satu Markuksela as "Viettelyksen omena", in Slovene by Sonja Gabršček as "Jabolko", and in Swedish by Siw Malmkvist as "Ett Rött Äpple".
