The Lyrics

Everytime you wanna play
Turn me on, all the way
Come to me and take the ride
Skin on skin it's pure delight
Givin me the passion you're burning my heart
Gonna rock you till you drop
Baby you're the reason I'm felling so hot
Want you now, I just can't stop

I would trade my life
For a night with you
Driven by desire
Make that move on me
Its time for you to see
That my world's on fire

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Forever

Everyday I can't resist
Need the taste of your lips
Darlin its your body thats driving me nuts
Let me in, I've got to touch

I would trade my life
For a night with you
Driven by desire
Make that move on me
Its time for you to see
That my world's on fire

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it mi amor
Crazy for love
Give me some more
Forever

Griechenland: Sakis Rouvas

Merkwürdig und dubios nur so lässt sich beschreiben, was sich in diesem Jahr bei der griechischen Kandidatensuche abgespielt hat. Angesetzt war eine Castingshow namens "Eurostar", die aus 36 Bewerbern den Teilnehmer für Istanbul hervorbringen sollte. Nach mehreren Runden stand ein Gewinner fest, der eher ein Verlierer ist. Apostolos Psihramis darf nur als Sänger im Background-Chor zum Eurovision Song Contest fahren.

Den Auftritt in der ersten Reihe übertrug man Sakis Rouvas, einem in Griechenland sehr populären Sänger. Dafni Bokota, Jurymitglied und Moderator von "Eurostar" begründete die Entscheidung damit, dass die Castingshow einen Monat später endete als geplant. Damit sei dem Komponisten zu wenig Zeit geblieben, um dem Gewinner einen passenden Song zu schreiben. Psihramis habe der Modusveränderung zugestimmt, sagte Bokota.

Sakis Rouvas, der von der Insel Korfu stammt, produzierte sein erstes Album im Jahr 1991. Es stieg auf Platz 1 der nationalen Charts und machte ihn im Lande bekannt. Auch die nachfolgenden Veröffentlichungen stiegen hoch in die Hitlisten ein. Sein jüngstes Werk heißt "Ola Kala". Beim Halbfinale in Istanbul wird er mit dem Titel "Shake it" auftreten.
