+ + Doce < < bem bom

[1982] [Portugal]

Doce started in 1980 formed by Laura Diogo, Lena Coelho, Fátima Padinha and Teresa Miguel and they were the first girl band in Portugal.

This is one of their most famous songs, 'bem bom' - something like 'so good!' which they took to Eurovision in 1982, where they came 13th (Bucks Fizz won that year).
Europe wasn't ready for their lyrics:

Uma da manhã, hey
[One in the morning, hey]
Bem bom, duas da manhã
[So good, two in the morning]
Bem bom, já três da manhã, hey
[So good, three in the morning already]
Bem bom, quatro da manhã
[So good, four in the morning]
Bem bom, cinco da manhã, hey
[So good, five in the morning, hey]
Bem bom, já seis da manhã
[So good, six in the morning already]
Bem bom, sete da manha hey
[So good, seven in the morning, hey]
Bem bom, oito da manha
[So good, eight in the morning]
Bem bom, cafe da manha para dois, sem saber o que vira depois
[So good, morning coffee for two, not knowing what will come afterwards]

Doce tried 3 other times to go to Eurovision [1980 - doce, sweet / 1981 - alibábá (um homem das Arábias), alibábá (a man from Arabia), and 1984 - o barquinho da esperança, the little boat of hope] but failed.

They will always be remembered by their loud dress style and by their great pop sound.
