00:00In 1989, the ESC returned to Switzerland after our beloved Celine Dion's win.
00:11And now, Nemo brings the biggest music show in the world back to Switzerland.
00:20And that's so cool, because hosting Eurovision is always the perfect opportunity
00:27to showcase your country in the best light and break down all stereotypes.
00:33What do you mean by that?
00:35Well, quite simple. For example, if I ask you...
00:39What do you think of Switzerland when you think of Switzerland?
00:44What's the most Swiss thing from Switzerland?
00:47It's not Roger Federer.
00:49Do you think that Switzerland is just the motherland of all the watches, chocolate and just a winter wonderland?
00:56You know, we have more than yodeling! The best inventions are all made in Switzerland!
01:06Uh, for example?
01:07Well, instant coffee, potato peelers and processed cheese.
01:11The famous Swiss Army knife with clever tools.
01:15And a list for skiing.
01:16You know there wouldn't be a rock star without the electric guitar
01:25Hey, so let's do this!
01:26Alright, Sandra!
01:28Made in Switzerland, like the zipper and muesli
01:32Made in Switzerland, like the internet or LSD
01:37Made in Switzerland, and when you need transparency
01:41Just use some cellophane that's made in Switzerland
01:46Like the garlic press, take two and one for free
01:49It's made in Switzerland, like our neutral weapon industry
01:54Made in Switzerland, the theory of relativity
01:58Is theoretically made in Switzerland
02:02But there's one thing that's more famous
02:05And even bigger than the mutter hole
02:09What could it be?
02:11Here's the absolutely true and never before been told story
02:15Of how the most Swiss invention of all was born
02:22It all started in the mid-fifties
02:25In the mid-fifties of the thirteenth century
02:28When this ancient land was in desperate need
02:32Of a hero who'd unite them all
02:35The colours have changed to Sibia
02:40Welcome to Old Helsinki
02:42The world is rich in poverty
02:44There's hunger, thirst, and misery
02:46We are so poor that Jesus holds
02:47We need someone to save ourselves
02:49Save us from misery
02:50Lead us to liberty here in Old Helsinki
02:52In Old Helsinki
02:53But who will lead us to the fight?
02:57Is it Heidi?
02:58No!
02:59Is it just the regular Swiss cow?
03:01No!
03:03Is it the Wicked Witch of the West?
03:05No!
03:09And most certainly not Roger Federer
03:11No!
03:12It's our national hero
03:14The Swiss version of Robin Hood
03:16Who fights for guns
03:18We know him well
03:20It's William's tale
03:29I'm a crossbowman and a hero
03:32But I just can't stand the sight of blood
03:35I'd rather sing in bright light nights
03:38And dance in sassy tights
03:41I have a vision of a world without division
03:47I have a vision
03:49Where to love is our mission
03:52So here's my decision
03:55We do a music competition
03:58And I name this vision
04:02Concours of Vision de la chanson
04:09Oh never mind
04:10Let's call my vision
04:13Eurovision
04:23Made in Switzerland
04:25We celebrate hell's vision here
04:28Made in Switzerland
04:30On television every year
04:33Made in Switzerland
04:35And now you'll finally understand
04:37That like the Swiss Eurovision is
04:40Non-political
04:41Strictly neutral
04:42Doesn't matter if you're good or brutal
04:44Well congender diversity
04:46But with peace and things
04:48And no no no no
04:49Sparks of fire and crazy lightning
04:52Make the staging far more frightening
04:54Why the hell is it raining here?
04:56Oh is it John's tears?
04:58No it's tears from Roger Federer
05:01We've invented democracy
05:05And a bunching system too
05:07So blame it on the Swiss
05:09If your son won't go through
05:12Made in Switzerland
05:14We've invented ESC
05:16Made in Switzerland
05:18To unite the people peacefully
05:21Made in Switzerland
05:23We sing and dance in harmony
05:25Let's raise our fondue force
05:28In unity
05:30Cause you're a vision
05:32As you see
05:36All made in Switzerland
05:40Thank you so much
