Boum Badaboum was the Monegasque entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 in Vienna performed by Minouche Barelli
While Boum-Badaboum continued the Eurovision tradition of having nonsense titles and lyrics, it also contained a serious message, in which Minouche wants to live a whole life before getting blown up in a nuclear explosion.
It was performed 14th on the night following Norway and preceding Yugoslavia. At the close of voting, it finished in 5th place with 10 points.

(Cinq, quatre, trois, deux, un, zéro)
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Avant de faire tout sauter, boum boum
Laissez-moi le temps d'aimer, badaboum
Laissez-moi encore la vie, boum boum
Au moins mille et une nuits, badaboum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Laissez-moi encore la vie, boum boum
Au moins mille et une nuits, badaboum
Laissez-moi mille et un jours, boum boum
Avant le compte à rebours, badaboum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Laissez-moi vivre un peu
(Huit, sept, six, cinq, quatre, trois, deux)
Avant de m' faire la peau
(Cinq, quatre, trois, deux, un, zéro)
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Si mes jours me sont comptés, boum boum
Je ne veux pas seulement aimer, badaboum
S'il est d'autres paradis, boum boum
Je veux les connaître aussi, badaboum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
S'il est d'autres paradis, boum boum
Je veux les connaître aussi, badaboum
Quand j'aurai tout essayé, boum boum
Je partirai sans regret, badaboum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum
Boum-badaboum, boum boum[1]
(Five, four, three, two, one, zero)
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Before blowing everything up, boom boom
Leave me the time to love, badaboom
Still leave me my life, boom boom
At least a thousand and one nights, badaboom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Still leave me my life, boom boom
At least a thousand and one nights, badaboom
Leave me a thousand and one days, boom boom
Before counting backwards, badaboom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Let me live a little bit
(Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two)
Before killing me
(Five, four, three, two, one, zero)
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
If my days are counted, boom boom
I don't only want to love, badaboom
If other paradises exist there, boom boom
I want to know them too, badaboom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
If other paradises exist there, boom boom
I want to know them too, badaboom
When I have tried everything, boom boom
I'll leave without regret, badaboom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
Boom-badaboom, boom boom
