- "Sing, Little Birdie" is the UK entrant song that took second place at the Eurovision Song Contest 1959. Performed by husband-and-wife duo Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson, "Sing, Little Birdie" was the first UK Eurovision entrant to be recorded, reaching number 12 in the UK singles chart. Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson performed "Sing, Little Birdie" in the first semi-final of ESC/British Finals — the national preliminary round for the UK in Eurovision 1959 — on 2 March 1959. The duo also performed in the second semi-final of the British Finals on 5 March 1959 with the song "That's It, That's Love", making Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson the only act to ever perform two songs in the same multi-artist formatted UK Eurovision pre-selection round; the duo also being double-entered in the national preliminary round for the UK in 1960. Polly Brown would perform two contending songs in the UK pre-selection round for Eurovision 1976 but as distinct acts: herself and as a member of Sweet Dreams. "Sing, Little Birdie" was one of six songs to advance to the British Finals final held on 7 March 1959, at the close of which "Sing, Little Birdie" was announced as the UK entrant at Eurovision 1959; the semi-final and final results for the ESC/British Finals of 1959 were determined by seven regional panels each comprising fourteen members. At the finals for Eurovision 1959, held at Cannes on 11 March 1959, "Sing, Little Birdie" finished in second place, bettered by the Netherlands' entrant "Een beetje" by Teddy Scholten. Having failed to participate in the inaugural edition due to missing the entry deadline, the UK had made a disappointing Eurovision debut in 1957 with "All" by Patricia Bredin, finishing seventh in a field of ten: no recording had been made of "All" and the UK had not participated in Eurovision 1958. The second place showing of "Sing, Little Birdie" at Eurovision 1959 was the first evidence of the UK being a potent force at Eurovision: four subsequent UK Eurovision entrants would take second place at the contest finals before the UK would score its first Eurovision victory in 1967 with "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw. The song was mentioned in the Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch "World Forum/Communist Quiz" in 1970 as having won the 1959 contest as answered by Mao Zedong when it actually finished second. (en)

Elle est intégralement interprétée en anglais, langue nationale, comme le veut la coutume avant 1966. Il s'agit de la dixième chanson interprétée lors de la soirée, après Ferry Graf qui représentait l'Autriche avec Der K und K Kalypso aus Wien et avant Bob Benny qui représentait la Belgique avec Hou toch van mij. À l'issue du vote, elle a obtenu 16 points, se classant 2e sur 11 chansons battue par la chanson Een beetje de Teddy Scholten pour les Pays-Bas. (fr)
