An animated music video for "Papa Pinguoin", a song performed in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980. The video features a penguin dad and his son, little Pigloo. Pigloo is the main character of a Franco-German bubblegum dance musical project. This song was very successful in France, where it topped the singles chart for three weeks and eventually remained on the chart for 27 weeks. In February 2007, the German version of "Papa Pinguoin" climbed to 6th place in the German hit parade, partly due to the huge success of the video clip broadcast on RTL. The French version was sung by Heidi, while the German version was sung by Sara and Kerstin. The music was composed by prolific duo Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger, who are normally associated with Germany as a composer-lyricist combination.
The song is about the fantasy life of the title character - a bored penguin who wants to leave the south pole. The singers describe his desire to fly like a seagull and travel around the world, listing various places he visits in his imagination. The song ends with the penguin's realisation that life "on the ice floe" is not as bad as he had thought, so he "burns his suitcase" to signify that his desire to travel is over.
