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?

I've got a whole playlist on Spotify of my favourite ones if anyone wants it. Happy eurovision week everyone! May your country not come last

Europapa by Joost Klein
Spaceman by Sam Ryder
Tattoo by Loreen
Making your Mind Up by Bucks Fizz
Cha Cha Cha by Karijaa

I’ve got an entire Spotify playlist of my Eurovision favourites! I do particularly like Discoteque by The Roop

Where Are You- UK 1998
Euphoria- Sweden 2012
Space Man- UK 2022

Waterloo is a given ❤️

This. I'm old enough to remember the (jaw dropping) original performance and reaction on the night.

And this year's Estonian entry (Latte Machiatto by Tommy Cash) is a complete ear-worm!

Grande Amore. Sung by Il Volo

I wonder now if perhaps Nena sang it in the interval one year as entertainment from the hosting nation. As for some reason I always think.of it as eurovision but equally I always question myself!

Maneskins song Zitti E Buoni. In fact, I listen on all their songs. They are amazing live, so much energy

Ofra Haza, Chai. Israel 1983. Great song and singer.

And the UK gave it no points.

99 Red Balloons was not a Eurovision song.

A little peace
All kinds of everything

I wonder if people are somehow getting it confused with Ein Bisschen Frieden (a little peace), a German song with a female vocalist which won the Eurovision around the same time (early 1980s)? Or possibly just that most of the very few European songs which made it into the UK charts were Eurovision ones, so people just assume that a German song popular in the UK must have been Eurovision?

@CatMumBat

I'd love to have a listen if you're willing to share.

One Step Further - Bardot. They woz robbed

Why has no one mentioned "Give that wolf a banana". Best Eurovision song ever and a great one for making you smile at the silliness.

I also love Tattoo by Loreen.

Ein bisschen frieden and All kinds of everything, mentioned by Allseeingallknowing

Yy to the banana song!

Shum ( Ukraine 2021)
spirit in the sky (Norway 2019)
waterloo (Sweden 1974)
Making your mind up ( UK 1981)

I have a few faves but Loreen's Tattoo and Euphoria are my favourites. And Spaceman was fantastic. He should've won.

Does anyone know the best place to catch this year's songs? Is there a two-night semi-finals thingy this week? I've not caught any of the songs this year including our own (but my expectations are duly lowered)

Happy Eurovision week!
