"Mister Music Man" was the first runner up in the Swiss preselection to the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 and when the song "Soleil, soleil" performed by Géraldine Olivier was disqualified "Mister Music Man" was selected to represent Switzerland instead. The song was composed by Gordon Dent and sung by Daisy Auvray in French.
On the night of the contest, held in Malmö, Sweden, the song was performed 13th, following Finland's Pave Maijanen singing "Yamma, yamma" and preceding Luxembourg's Marion Welter with Kontinent singing "Sou fräi". At the close of the voting it had received 32 points, placing 15th in a field of 23.
The song was succeeded as Swiss representative at the 1993 contest by Annie Cotton with "Moi, tout simplement".
