I remember being in front of the TV bored to death with the other songs and then ... this came up. Almost 20 years afterwards, and I still looked it up. Great song, great performance.
In 2005 I traveled from Canada to Europe for the 1st time... I had never heard of Eurovision. I watched all the bands and artists, thinking "Ok well I get this is certainly not a rock contest " until WigWam came on the tv. Holy moley they rocked my world and to this day I think they should've won!!!!
They should have won in 2005 (9th place was a joke), and should have been the first rock song to win ESC. They paved the way for Lordi and Måneskin. Norway is always underrated. 🙄
Well no he used a 2010 song of theirs called “do you really wanna taste it” The problem with this song is he screeches it a bit and isn’t nearly as much of an earworm like the one used for Peacemaker.
MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE EUROVISION SONG EVER! i was only 5 while watching with my family but this song literally stayed with me all my life, truly amazing
I’ve never been a Eurovision fan, but saw this on the ESC as a teen and have never forgotten it. Just looked it up again after 17 years and I still love it.
Funny that there were FOUR rock songs in the 2005 final. Switzerland, Russia, Germany and this one. Not sure if the Moldovan can be called a rock song?
That's why I love ESC 2005, Ruslana's victory led to what can only be described as the Rock Exploision. Norway, Switzerland, Slovenia (sadly, didn't make it to the final), Moldova, Hungary, Albania to the extent and many more. And yeah, the rock wave even hit Russia and Germany. I'm Russian and I'm really sad that this is the only rock entry in a traditional sense we've ever sent
As a rock fan i was fascinated by this song, and despite the fact i haven't heard it since the actual show was on air, the song's hook is so strong, i remembered it till now! So glad to find this video. I'd better not play it on loop if i want to sleep well) Great performance, Wig Wam!
I'm so happy this appeared in "Peacemaker" It's my winner in 2005 and among my favourite rock songs ever in ESC and there are so many amazing rock entries from ESC too 🤩🦅
@@crazydude2361 Episode 7. If you haven't watched, there's another Wig Wam song in the fantastic opening credits. HUGE recommend (and not just for the excellent soundtrack!)
Estonia was also robbed of the victory in 2009.. Randajad was by FAR my favourite. Still an awesome song in 2022 and such a stronger song than our fiddler than won.
2005 was a great year for Euovision. Norway and Switzerland rocked the house, and probably made way for Lordi to enter and win in 2006. 'ROCK'N'ROLL REVOLUTION!!' :-D
Rock & Roll is meant to be bombastic and unashamed. Wig Wam embody these things perfectly. I love this band, and thank "Peacemaker" and James Gunn for introducing me to them. :-D
I have no idea why this song was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning, but boy am I glad I did. Such a forgotten gem, and what a banger!
After having left behind ESC 2021, I traveled back to my memory for the rock songs in ESC history. Here I am again after so many years. It was my favorite back then, unforgettable
I still remember and listen to this from time to time, 19 years later. I imagine if this was released in the 80s, as is with their other songs, they'd be globally famous.
Only just discovered this amazing Band over the last 6 months, their catalog of songs is pretty damn good, wrong decade, but I will never knock back good RnR anytime. A Fan from Down Under!
I've had this chorus going inside my head for like 10 years, and I couldnt figure out where the hell I heard it. I tried googling whatever lyrics i remembered, but nothing. Just found an app yesterday that let me whistle the song, and It would find matches. And finally, hahaha. What a relief lmao - makes sense too, as I'm a big ESC fan
The best song ever to have graced Eurovision. This Song Should have won the competition in 2005. I'm from the land down under and watched this on TV at that time, & still listen to it today.
Norway,the best esc country!!! Great entries every year with no expectation. Amazing song,my second favorite from the 2005 contest.. With one word:EPIC
I was 6 years old when this happened... and hearing this makes me feel a lot of nostalgia! This is the first Eurovision moment that I can remember! When I was 6, this song was on the radio in Norway all the time! It was around the time that I started to develop sleep problems for the first time, and I remember one time when there was a party next door. I couldn't sleep, and the party måde that problem worse... they were playing mostly pop songs, but around 2 AM they played this song, and they played it over and over again! I was lying in my bed, smiling and singing along! I can't describe how good it is to hear this song after all these years! I still love it just as much as I did back then, and I can still remember the lyrics! I cannot, however, see how this is "glam rock", as it bears no resemblance to the real thing with David Bowie, T.Rex, Slade, Sweet, Queen etc, but anyway og it's not real glam, it IS fucking good and I am proud that my country sent this one to Eurovision! It's probably the best ESC song ever!
I actully met the singer in Wig Wam also know as Åge Sten Nilsen last monday, since hes touring in Norway now by himself and he just happen to have a consert in the small city where i live, meeting him was like a dream coming true, i even got a autograf on my phone so yeah it was truly a amazing day.
How F*cking AWESOME that year 2005 was and Eurovision hade so many Insanely Great songs back in a day! :D Cheers from 2021! ^_^ Come on, come on, come on Love is all over me You are the only one Living in my fantasy In my dreams
Still think that this is the most underrated song in esc history
Absolutely!
I feel with you man, im from norway and not many people know this song.
Yes
My top from 2005
1.Norway
2.Malta
O ya.
Never a wrong time to rock!
This is my jam. You know, this is back when men were real men because they weren’t afraid to be women.
@@johnnycincocero hmm
Maybe at a funeral?
💯💥
@@AngelusNielson you missed the joke... it's a quote from a show.
This song was so epic that it was better than some 80s rock hits.
Petar Mihajlović which hits? This song is amazing, but it’s not nearly as good as 80’s rock.
Nope. I bet it would be one of the weaker songs of that time.
Ripoff after Bon Jovi - Living on a prayer.
@Andrei Piatra, you cant possibaly compare this song to live it on the prayer its completely diffrent!!!
Absolutely but maybe it was a bit dated to compete in 2005, not that I care because I absolutely LOVE this song!
I honestly think this could've won today.
And ... you were right :)
it should've won then
It should, becouse it's really good music. Better than today winners can do.
Most people who watch eurovision dont´t really appreciate good rock songs. They want some typical pop that plays in the radio.
We need more songs like this
George Austin Tay I miss rock in Eurovision
Agree with you, my friend)
Butterfly - Fate
George Austin Tay lordi from Finland bro
George Austin Tay we need Eurovision of 2005 back!!! We need 2005 back!!!
I remember being in front of the TV bored to death with the other songs and then ... this came up. Almost 20 years afterwards, and I still looked it up. Great song, great performance.
Make Eurovision Rock Again =D
Heydavid17 agree
yes!! like in year 2007 :D
I loved Cyprus' song from 2016! I know it wouldn't win, but I hoped it at least would do better than it did.
Lordi won with record points
Japek34 Lordi won in 2006.
In 2005 I traveled from Canada to Europe for the 1st time... I had never heard of Eurovision. I watched all the bands and artists, thinking "Ok well I get this is certainly not a rock contest " until WigWam came on the tv. Holy moley they rocked my world and to this day I think they should've won!!!!
This guy sang it better live at ESC than in the studio version... his voice is just unreal here.
Thank god they’re finally getting the credit thanks peacemaker for introducing me to them! This is so nostalgic it’s so amazing
2022 checking in. They played this song in the HBO show "Peacemaker"
Same lol
they played so many good songs there, i literally had chills whenever something familiar came up. good taste of whoever decided on ost.
Never a wrong time to ROCK
Peacemaker 😎😜
Thank you for the comment nr 500
This is WAAAAAAAAAY better than studio version, which means that this guy has a GODLIKE voice. DAMN!
Peace.
They should have won in 2005 (9th place was a joke), and should have been the first rock song to win ESC. They paved the way for Lordi and Måneskin. Norway is always underrated. 🙄
As always been.
Wig Wam crawled so those band could walk
Paved the way for sure.
They couldn't beat helena paparizou, but the could have been 2nd. Recently I have discovered it and listening to it!
Before Lordi and Maneskin won the contest, there was Wig Wam. Amazing performance \m/
And this song is clearly the best of those three ✌
One of the most epic songs in ESC history and one the best norwegian entries in the contest,we need more rock songs like this!!
Εμείς να δω πότε θα στείλουμε καμιά γνήσια ροκιά κι όχι την Άννα Βίσση να χτυπιέται στα πατώματα με το Everything I am :p
An 80s glam rock song in the 00s. And it works. I love it. It shows that different is not always bad. Do what you like and do it good.
James Gunn just proved in 2022 why this song should've won in 2005.
Well no he used a 2010 song of theirs called “do you really wanna taste it”
The problem with this song is he screeches it a bit and isn’t nearly as much of an earworm like the one used for Peacemaker.
@@razerow3391 He used this song in the penultimate episode too, in an awesome scene too.
Nice song Norway 🤘🤘
Greetings from Greece
MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE EUROVISION SONG EVER! i was only 5 while watching with my family but this song literally stayed with me all my life, truly amazing
Ahh, I’m childhood :’) I was such a fan
Same, I was only 8 years old but I bought their album that summer!
I was 10 but it's still awesome
After 17 years I am here!!!!This is underrated masterpiece
Nobody does rock and metal as good as Norway these days. Underrated band here in the states
As a greek I was disappointed that my country won and not Wig Wam. So epic
Greece won in 2004 not 2005
@@demetrisvellianitis 2004 was Ukraine, and Greece was in 2005. Check it up
Same here!
As you should be
Same here
2023. 😁 the best eurovision song ever
2005 I was 7 years old, and this one is one of the very few I remember that year. So good!
I really want to see him again in eurovision ❤
Eurovision_girl 7 He's back in the national final with another band and a song called Wrecking crew!! :)
I really like wrecking crew! I have my hopes up that they might represent Norway this year!
I am so happy! He is back!!! "WE ARE THE WRECKING CREW"❤
Ammunition unfortunately finished 2nd in Norway's national final :(
Eurovision_girl 7 Who?!
This should have won eurovision 2005
Eurovision 2025: The Return of Wig Wam. Make it happen, Norway. ❤
Well, now we have Gåte.
one of the greatest songs on Eurovision!
Still giving me the vibes in 2021! .love this song.could have easily won ESC...
I’ve never been a Eurovision fan, but saw this on the ESC as a teen and have never forgotten it. Just looked it up again after 17 years and I still love it.
We need more rock in Eurovision PERIOD.

**headbangs in Måneskin**
The first Eurovision I watched, loved this one so much I bought their album. Love from Denmark
Same for me! It was the first one and I also got the album. Still remember Norway and Switzerland 😄
This song is totally awesome🥰
As a rock fan i was fascinated by this song, and despite the fact i haven't heard it since the actual show was on air, the song's hook is so strong, i remembered it till now! So glad to find this video. I'd better not play it on loop if i want to sleep well) Great performance, Wig Wam!
2005 Wig Wam: Rock’n roll Revolutionnnn!
2021 Maneskin: Rock’n Roll never diessss!
Best eurovision song ever played 🤘
Well... Latvia 2008 comes 1st for me😅
I've always been a Eastern European Funk kinda guy.
No
Non c'est Marie Myriam, L'enfant et l'oiseau 1977 😂
I'm so happy this appeared in "Peacemaker"
It's my winner in 2005 and among my favourite rock songs ever in ESC and there are so many amazing rock entries from ESC too 🤩🦅
What episode?
@@crazydude2361 i honestly don't remember 😅
@@crazydude2361 Episode 7. If you haven't watched, there's another Wig Wam song in the fantastic opening credits. HUGE recommend (and not just for the excellent soundtrack!)
I still love this song and performance, 12 years later in 2017! Absolutely my favorite Eurovision entry of all times! :) I love those guys :)
2005 was my first year and this was my favourite back then, and it still is 12 years later! Nostalgia
Estonia was also robbed of the victory in 2009.. Randajad was by FAR my favourite. Still an awesome song in 2022 and such a stronger song than our fiddler than won.
Im greek but this is beyond good, it should have won!
Ώστε... Παντού υπάρχουν Έλληνες!
This song is amazing but Elena was the queen ordering Europe to make Greece win. Absolutely fantastic
2005 was a great year for Euovision. Norway and Switzerland rocked the house, and probably made way for Lordi to enter and win in 2006. 'ROCK'N'ROLL REVOLUTION!!' :-D
also Moldova with their ska-punk Granny
Good year indeed:)
Amazing!!! 18 years later and still couldn't forget the amazeness of this song!!!❤
Listening to this song till this day.
Such an awesome song!
Much love from Israel 🇮🇱🇳🇴
Rock & Roll is meant to be bombastic and unashamed. Wig Wam embody these things perfectly. I love this band, and thank "Peacemaker" and James Gunn for introducing me to them. :-D

Real winners ....of eurovision 2005 Great song amazing singer and a cute one too xxx..greece was just RUBISSH.........
Immortal. Timeless. Unforgettable.
it is now 19 years since this masterpiece and I still think its the most underrated song in esc history
One of the best songs ever performed on an ESC stage.
Never a wrong time to ROCK!!

Wig Wam walks so Måneskin (and Lordi) could run
We need more songs like this in Eurovision
This song was way too underestimated at the time and much better than 2006 winner...
Underestimated? It was the favourite to win the whole thing before the contest
Lordi is just a clowns
Yep, this song ended as nr 9,lordi won a year later with a song not as good as this. Doesnt make much sence..
It's thanks to this entry that Lordi broke through Eurovision the next year.
In my opinion this is one of the most important songs in Eurovision history!
OMG I did not know this was an eurovision song. Thanks to Peacemaker show for reintroducing this song to popularity.
12 years later,still love this song!
i had no idea this song was from eurovision holy crap
Only just discovered this amazing Band over the last 6 months, their catalog of songs is pretty damn good, wrong decade, but I will never knock back good RnR anytime. A Fan from Down Under!
I would have preferred if this won for norway instead of Fairytale. I just find this more catchy and simply epic.
Exactly!
I respect that, but Fairytale is catchy as all hell
It wasn't the same year though...
@@numbo655 yes but i mean i'd prefer if they won with this in 2005 than fairytale in 2009
Agree!

Wow really. Whats the apps name?
Remember this well. I was so shocked they didn’t win. It was the best thing ever.
Without Peacemaker I'd never see this.
I really thought that it was a 80's song. Good vibes
The best song ever to have graced Eurovision. This Song Should have won the competition in 2005. I'm from the land down under and watched this on TV at that time, & still listen to it today.
still amazing in 2024 ❤❤❤
This song is 19 years old and it's still that great of a song
One of the best eurovision songs ♡
One of my all time fave songs of eurovision!!! Love it!
I didnt know this was a euro vision song. I was surprised when i realised that it didnt make top 3. Amazing song and performance
Norway,the best esc country!!!
Great entries every year with no expectation.
Amazing song,my second favorite from the 2005 contest..
With one word:EPIC
Thank you Peacemaker to make me hear that song. Ep 7th of Peacemaker.
Extremely underrated performance! They were the best that year, there is no confusion there. Awesome band and song!
The best ESC song ever.
put this song in 2018 eurovision with all the new tech(lights, pyrotech etc) and a place in the top 5 would be sure .
Yep Måneskin confirmed this 😂
I wach eurovision starting 2005 😄 and every efing year i wate for a song like this. Still waiting :D love them
I cant believe that already 15 years have passed since this amazing entry.
I have a kind spot for rock songs.
I really should check out their stuff
ROCK'N'ROLL NEVER DIES!!! Damiano is right.. I want something like this back to Eurovision
There's No Wrong Time To Rock!🤘
Lordi and Maneskin are top tier ESC winners but Wig Wam paved the way.
The best entry in Eurovision from Norway 🇳🇴 🥹♥️

I'm not metal-rock listener but i can listen good music like this. Norway was my 2nd favorite in 2005 after Israel.
Propably The best eurovision song ever
I'm a lifelong ESC fan and I'm today years old when I discovered this song 🎵
The singer was in 2017 MGP as Ammunition
And they should have won DMGP!
My favorite of Eurovision 2005. I was ten yo back then, played it at high volume on the stereo system
💯
How F*cking AWESOME that year 2005 was and Eurovision hade so many Insanely Great songs back in a day! :D
