In the original lyrics Anmary refers to a Eurovision legend: "I was born in a distant 1980, The year the Irish Johnny Logan won.
Now he’s old, you know, still kinda famous
Could be my way, today’s my day, I’m singing of my song".
Johnny Logan is still there in the new version, but he's not old anymore.
