Are there any previous Eurovision songs you still listen to?

[Lostinidea]

I was just having a browse through the thread about how bad our entry is this year (and it is!) and it got me thinking about how even though Eurovision is a cheese fest it has produced some brilliant songs in it's time.
The following alone all feature on my Spotify playlist:

Euphoria by Lorren
Only Teardrops by Emilie De Forest
Ooh AHH Just a Little by Gina G
Love Shine a Light by Katrina and the Waves
Eg A Life by Eythor Ingi.

Anyone else got any Eurovision bangers they can recommend?

Only one. Waterloo. Best Eurovision song ever.

The greatest Eurovision track EVER.

Spaceman
Un banc, un arbre, une rue

I've a weakness for Gina G and Johnny Logan Hold me Now.

I have a soft spot for Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up

Lots already mentioned but I also love the ‘I believe in a fairytale’ with the violin, the French one with the running and ‘Ok Happy End’ (Ukraine I think). I love a Eurovision song.

Was that Nena 99 red balloons a euro vision entry? If it was, this is probably my favourite

Waterloo of.course.

And Congratulations (Cliff), Johnny Logans entries, Bucks Fizz and Sandie Shaw I think! Not that I listen because they were eurovision but because they are on the radio occasionally. In fact, I may even be misremembering and they weren't euro songs at all

I remember Johnny Logan and Hold Me Now. Loved that as a young girl.

The only one I routinely listen to now is Waterloo. ABBA is a cut above everyone else.

Do you know of any Spotify recording of un banc, un arbre?
It's one of the first Eurovision songs I remember from my childhood and I love it.

"Spirit in the Sky" - Keiino (still cannot believe this didn’t win)!

I love Hold Me Now but had no idea it was a Eurovision entry 🙈

Johnny Logan entered twice

I listen to some Eurovision artists, although not necessarily their Eurovision entries. Eg t.A.T.u. and Maneskin and sometimes Katrina and the Waves. Spaceman was actually quite a good song too.

"Think about things", the Icelandic one that would probably have won in 2020 if Eurovision hadn't been cancelled due to the pandemic:

@Feelingstrange2 I'm not aware that 99 Red Balloons was a Eurovision entry but it's still a great tune.

Cliff, Sandie, Bucks Fizz and apparently Johnny Logan definitely were.

Arcade
Dum Tek Tek
Tattoo
My Number One
Goodbye to Yesterday
Calm after the storm
Todas as Ruas Do Amor
As well as several of the others above.

Verka Serduchka from Ukraine. The 2007 winners for Dancing Lasha Tumbai.

Great entry but they didn't win.

Think about things - Iceland 2020
Dancing Lasha Tumbai - Ukraine 2007
Hard Rock Hallelujah - Finland 2006
Flying the Flag - UK 2007
No rules - Finland 2024
Rim Tim Tagi Dim - Croatia 2024

so random but all make me smile 😆

“ What’s Another Year?” by Johnny Logan
” Waterloo” by Abba
Can’t remember the artist but the song is something like “ Phoenix From The Ashes”

Do you mean Conchita?

Diva by Dana International is another one I forgot to add to the list.

@RabbitsRock I think the song title is Rise Like a Phoenix.

Wild Dances by Ruslana (2004 winner)

Regarding our UK entry, it seems to be going down very well with the rest of Europe when reading the comments.
These ladies come from singing/West End backgrounds so will clearly be able to project their voices.
No, it's not my favourite song, but it's fun and probably what we need right now.
