Vi maler byen rød, Birte Kjær for Danmark , 1989.
Voilà, Barbara Pravi for France, 2021.

Lia Vissi, Cyprus, 1985, "To katálava argá".

Massiel, Spain, 1968, "La la la".

Several UK entries I loved - "Rockbottom" by Lynsey de Paul & Mike Moran 1977, "Bad Old Days" by Coco 1978, "Beg, Steal or Borrow" by The New Seekers 1972.

Of more recent ones, "Rise Like a Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst 2014 was the one time I predicted the winner from the beginning.

I was obsessed with "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" last year and "Cha Cha Cha in '23 so the mashup by Baby Lasagne and Käärijä this year was my highlight of the evening.

Given the choice I'd have had Tommy Cash with "Espresso Macchiato" as my winner this year - I'm just a bit sick of tortured ballads, I like it to be fun and as ridiculous as possible!

Lordi 2006, earning the first victory for Finland with "Hard Rock Halleluja"

I have a few, not in any particular order.

2024 Ireland, Bambi Thug 'Doomsday Blue' (I didn't have a problem with it as much as other people did. It was a memorable performance. Just wish she took not getting first a bit more graceful. But I digress.)

2018 Estonia, Elina Nechayeva 'La Forza'

the price on the tag/label not being the real price in the US. I don't think it's awful but took me a little bit by surprise

I was in a place where I only knew a very little bit of the local language when I got lost in a not-touristy area. I asked a woman at a bus stop for directions as best I could and amazingly I understood her response perfectly. I'm sure she was going slow and keeping it simple for my sake but it was still an incredible surreal feeling to understand her so well when I didn't really know the language. The person with me who didn't speak the language at all was really impressed!
