Tags: Eurovision Song Contest Entry.
Happy Man was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 performed in English by Cathal Dunne.The song is a moderately up-tempo number in which Dunne contrasts his early despondency with the joy he feels now that he is with his lover. He sings for example that he now has the sun inside and that he is the tititular happy man. It was written by Dunne himself as was the single’s B-side Sweet Woman of Mine a song Dunne said that he preferred.
