Germany have a rather insignificant history at Eurovision winning just once in 1982.  Their entries of late have seen very different results.  In 1999, 2000, and 2001 they had a string of top ten results, then in 2002 were one of the hot favourites, but failed to impress.  2003 saw Germany enter the wonderful 'Let's Get Happy', but even this failed to do as well as expected.  2004 saw them enter the smoothe number of the night, and they acheived accoringly well, but 2005 saw a great turn in fortunes, gathering all those bad positions up and cumulating them towards a final, horrid position - finishing last.  Nonetheless, being a member of the Big 4 it didn't really matter that much, and Germany entered country group Texas Lightning with 'No No Never' in 2006.  Hopes were accordingly high - it was a brilliant song, but when it came to the voting Germany seemed to get unduly left behind and they only managed 15th place.  Similarly in 2007, Germany had high hopes for Roger Cicero's swing number, but even that failed to impress, coming in at 19th with just 49 points.
