Horoscopes (song)
"Horoscopes" was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981, performed in English by Sheeba.
The song is an up-tempo number, with the girls singing about the fascination some people have with horoscopes and star signs. They explain that this is "crazy, crazy", because "It's we, not the stars above, who write our horoscopes". In other words, life is what we make of it, and not what a horoscope tells us.
The three singers wore revealing green dresses during the performance.
The song was performed twelfth on the night, following the Netherlands' Linda Williams with "Het is een wonder" and preceding Norway's Finn Kalvik with "Aldri i livet". At the close of voting, it had received 105 points, placing 5th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Irish representative at the 1982 Contest by The Duskeys with "Here Today Gone Tomorrow".Chart
