Best Eurovision song ever?

[SmellyOldOwls]

Has to be Euphoria for me!

@icelollycraving. Wow I forgot about Love Games by Belle and the Devotions. Another great tune.

1981-1984 UK entries. I loved them all. Going to see if I can download them now.

Waterloo surely has stood the test of time

Waterloo

I also LOVE this German entry from 2011 (did she win? I can't remember)

My favourite in recent years has been Rasmussen. Long-haired men rocking the pirate look and bellowing with their legs apart and the wind machine at their lustrous locks.
What's not to like?

My favourites of all time are mainly 60s and 70s though.

Tu te Racconaitras- Ann-Marie David is the first one I remember loving as a child.

@SlappingPeopleAtTheOscars

99 Red Balloons wasn't Eurovision was it?

No.

yes i liked satellite too and yes she won

love Shine a light
1997
was that the last time Uk won?

Yes, it was.
Hot on the heals of a Labour victory at the GE.
Hard to believe either now...

I'm with slappingpeopleattheoscars it's got to be My Lovely Horse by Ted and Dougal.

Sorry was steakexpectations not slapping!

Love Love, Peace Peace.

Heroes - beyond a shadow of a doubt...amazing staging too.

Wasn't Heroes the one tainted by the singer being revealed to be a racist yob?

Ah, no, apols. He's homophobic and had to do a big publicity backtrack to cover what he'd previously said.

I don't think Måns is a racist yob? Absolutely love that song and the staging was brilliant, cleverly fine tuned from Sweden's Melodifestivalen.

Also love Ruslana, Common Linnets, Nicole.

Dado Freyr were robbed a certain victory in 2020, such a shame.

Dadi Freyr! Bloody autocorrect.

Homophobic apparently. And a quick Google shows copyright problems as well, with the video.

Others I absolutely loved were:
My Croatian Sky in about 1993 and the Bosnian one when the Balkan conflict was on and the band got the last plane out but left their conductor behind so someone else's conductor stepped in.
And the Russian fella Lost and Forgotten (sth v. depressing) about 10 years ago.

@WeDontShutUpAboutBruno

So many, I might need a top 10.

Spirit in the Sky by KEiiNO

Rise Like a Pheonix by Concita Wurst (sp?)

Its My Life by Cezar

Fairytale by Alexander Ryback

Where Are You by Immani

Love Me Back by Can Banomo

Be My Guest by Gaitanna (sp?)

Dark side by blind channel last year was amazing too as was Tout l'univers by Gjons Tears

This year so far I'm loving Lights off by We are Domi.

Spirit in the Sky is my all time Favourite and would have won if it wasn't for the bloody jury vote.

I'm so glad to see the love for 'Spirit in the Sky'. It was definitely robbed- and now I've got the tune stick in my head again.

One Step Further - Bardot

Ding a Dong by Teach-In. 1975 winner.

I felt the same way about Turkey's 2008 entry:
