Best Eurovision Song

AndonHandon

Inspired by that Worst Song thread and some of the cheese that people suggested but is quite catchy, what are the good Eurovision songs? Interesting, sexy and bad also welcome.

I actually liked Dustin's entry a few years ago, was stuck in my head at the time. The woman did a good job, could have been a strong contender if it wasn't taking the piss.

That Finnish hard rock hallelujah song was catchy too.

Sadly it didn't quite make it to Eurovision (it finished third in Estonia's national final in 2013) but this is absolutely magnificent:

I'm not entirely sure how I discovered this existed but frankly I don't care, I'm just glad that I found it! Read the English lyrics to make it even better!

Disgusting creature.

Surely this is some sort of trick question. It's like asking which Miley Cyrus song is the best, or what was the best-smelling fart you've ever produced. Or who was your favourite Nazi.

Sorry, but there can be only one best song and it is the all time classic, Waterloo.

There have been some greats through the years. Some have made me laugh, some have made me cry. But one has made me more emotional than any...of course, I am taking about "You Dirty English Bastards" by The Hairy Bowsies.

Del.Monte

The Eurovision is a load of tosh and it pains me to say it, but Michael Flatley is probably the best performer to ever appear on it. The blatantly political voting, Terry Wogan's tongue in cheek commentaries, Abba's probably the most memorable - for me - song and we mustn't forget our own wee girl.

Hands down, Riverdance.

The greatest act never to actually compete in Eurovision.
