Background
The song is sung as a dialogue among friends, with one explaining that he is suffering from an illness. The others suggest what it could be, but he reports that a trip to the doctor resulted in a diagnosis of being in love – with the rhythm of the heart being the title of the song.In the late 70s Mabel moved their operation to Spain after gaining more notoriety when their catchy number "Boom Boom" was chosen as the official Danish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1978.
The song wins the competition, and from being a smaller band with some success, Mabel is suddenly on everyone's lips. They have since achieved greater success in Denmark and across Europe.
