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?

This is one for the for the Gransnet Crowd really.

Top tune from the inimitable bare footed
Sandy Shaw. Another Semi Retired Love Goddess such as moi.

Enjoy

In terms of the classic oldies, I still listen to most of them, abba, brotherhood of man, Gina g, etc recent ones is Duncan Lawrence - arcade and our entry from a few years back bigger than us by Michael rice.

I don't really listen these days, but used to love Eurovision back in the day. My favourite period was probably 70's and 80's. Probably the most memorable song for me was from 2011, by Sjonnys friends for Iceland. There is such a poignant back story and for me, this is the absolute definition of true friendship.

Love last year's Marina Satti-Zari and Baby Lasagna. They are very catchy imo.

Another vote for Waterloo, but my all time favourites are:

1. Dana ‘All kinds of everything particularly like the Terry Hall and Sinead O’Connor version https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8oqKyVW978&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD
2. Sandie Shaw ‘Puppet on a String’
3. Mary Hopkins ‘Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end …’

Apart from number 1 don’t actively listen to them but remember the words and always sing along when I hear them.

Mon Amour by Slimane is one of my favourite songs ever.

I love Calm after the Storm and also Undo. From 2014 I think. I still play them regularly.

This was the one I was going to mention. I watch it with the kids all the time, they love it. My eldest was 1 when it came out and he asks for ‘The Wolf’ song most days. Very catchy and silly. Perfect for Eurovision

Satellite by Lena
Saudade by Maro - the most stunning song!
Lots of Rafael Gualazzi

Lots of Eurovision in our house! Excited!

Also I know all the words to the one by Urban Trad which was from when I was about 12. It was in a made up language which took features from every language to hopefully appeal to everyone of any country. Love!

Sanomi heleeeee Manila Keranu
Aliyah irema niya Lago ture madile

etc! ❤️

my favourites are I’m in love with a fairy tale- Alexander Ryback? he looks just the same now, also Heroes by Max Zelmerlow, Rise like a Phoenix and there was one from Ireland a few years ago years ago a folk one by a girl but I can’t remember the name of it

Nena definitely wasn't Eurovision.

Dancing In The Rain (Spain) by the fabulous Ruth Lorenzo - as seen on the X-Factor in the UK.

It's a beautiful song, flawlessly performed; yet nobody ever seems to remember it.

I still regularly find myself singing It's My Time - the UK entry by Jade Ewen from a number of years ago. Andrew Lloyd Webber was heavily involved in it.

Also Scooch - yes, it was cheesy, but it was gloriously so - and a real banger!

Israel's 1978 entry - I Wanna Be A Polar Bear - is also memorable and (unintentionally) amusing because of what it sounds like in English!

Bed On Fire, by Ralf Gyllenhammar. Didn’t even make it to the finals but I still love it! You need to watch the performance rather than listen to it…

And ‘Fairytale’ by Alexander Riebak (Norway I think)

People thinking of Nena are probably mixing her up with Nicole who sang A Little Peace in 1982ish

Loads! We are big Eurovision fans. We've been to see The Roop (Lithuania) and Go_A (Ukraine) in concert and both were fantastic.

Waterloo, and Puppet on a String (Sandie Shaw in the 60s!).
