Come back Luxembourg to ESC 2011 ?- Bring some style back like Baccara in '78

Baccara, more famous for their disco smash in '77 'Yes, sir I can boogie'
The spanish duo of Maria & Mayte were plucked from a resort Hotel.
Where the girls
performed for German tourists, dutch Producer Rolf Soja took them to Hamburg
to Write & produce "Yes sir.." & a best selling Album.
At Eurovision 1978 they sung 'Parlez vous Francais' for Luxembourg.
The tune finished 7th with 71 points. As well as adding to the girls
list of European hits mainly in Germany, Spain & Holland. Baccara's songwriters
tried again in Eurovision 1986 with Luxembourg entry "L'amour de ma vie"
this tune did better and came in 3rd place. Sung by Sherissa Laurence.
It was unfortunately one the the last successful results for Luxembourg
at Eurovision Song contest. Having been a 5 time winner in the past,
Luxembourg dropped out in 1994 -and never returned.
