Fly On The Wings Of Love was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed for Denmark by the Olsen Brothers.
The song was not expected to score highly, as it was an old-fashioned ballad and performed by two of the oldest performers to enter the Contest. In spite of this, it led the voting from start to finish (a feat not achieved since ABBA won in 1974) and became a great favourite among fans of the Contest, being named one of the best entries at the Congratulations special in late 2005.
The song is also memorable for the effects given to the voice during the final chorus, which allow it to sound something like a robot. These effects were the subject of a protest by the Russian delegation, however they were not found to be illegal and the result stood.
The song was succeeded in 2001 as Contest winner by Tanel Padar and Dave Benton representing Estonia with Everybody.
