Bit off topic, but do any of ye remember the interval/opening there one year where it was a series of people doing dances to different film's, very quick succession, and one of them was a Men In Black dance with loads of people dressed as the MIB doing excellently syncronised dancing? Trying to find it everywhere but can't...

This is my favorite. It's before my time (actually before I was born). Vicky Leandros - L'amour est bleu for Luxembourg in 1967. This is a clip of the song being performed but not on the actual eurovision. As was very common for Luxembourg, before everyone else started it, they pioneered the art of parachuting in foreign performers for their national entry - Vicky Leandros was actually Greek.

. Lovley song to , i think she also represented luxembourg in 1972 with Après toi" and recorded a version in English (come what may ) which made the top ten in England .Severinne also recorded an English version of Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue,but some songs sound better sung in the originanl language as the two mentioned above.

Here is another fav of mine , English version of wonderful dream by ann marie david http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=j1VdgbooYrQ

Fantastic song - it would be my favourite too, followed by 'Après toi'.

Nightwish

Lordi - Blood Red Sandman. I genuinely really like this band.

I thoroughly enjoyed last years Ukraine entry Dancing Lasha Tumbai and the Austrian entry from 2003 Weil der Mensch Zahlt deserves a mention.

Bucks Fizz 'Making your mind up' its a classic pop song. Its a pity one body writes songs like that anymore.
Cheryl baker was my favourite member of the band.

Shocking omission

"Volare" (Italian for the infinitive form of the verb "to fly") is another popular name for Domenico Modugno's signature song "Nel blu dipinto di blu" (literally "In the blue painted blue"). Written by Domenico Modugno (music and lyrics) and Franco Migliacci (lyrics), "Nel blu dipinto di blu" was presented by Domenico Modugno and Johnny Dorelli at the 1958 Sanremo Music Festival, winning the contest and achieving instant popularity. It was then chosen to represent Italy in the 1958 Eurovision Song Contest and came third. The song is a ballad in a dramatic chanson style, in which Modugno describes the feeling he has (which he likens to flying) when with his lover.

Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, creators of ABBA’s "Waterloo", voted as the "all time favourite song of the Eurovision Song Contest" said when they received the prize ("Volare" came second): "I myself voted for 'Volare' but I am pleased that so many people voted for us"

I think the shadows 'Let me be the one ' is a classic pop/euro tune.It has everything ,good lyrics ,soaring harmonies with great guitar licks and complimented by a lovley orchestral score .Really deserved to win instead of 2nd place considering the group were more famous for instrumentals .The track can be found on the exellent 'Specs appeal ' album (1975) were the Shads proved they could boggie ,rock, pop c/w and sing with the best of em .
