Eurovision Greatest Hits: Sameyakh (Israel, 2000)
The backing track sounds a lot like Gina G’s ‘Ooh Ahh…Just A Little Bit’, but the singing sounds anything but happy.
Eurovision Greatest Hits: S.A.G.A.P.O. (Greece, 2002)
Let’s face it, this isn’t so much about the song as the fantastic styling and performance. This is exactly the type of shit Mission Eurovision loves!
Eurovision Greatest Hits: Weil der Mensch zählt (Austria, 2003)
Not only was this entertaining with a random rock riff thrown in at the end of the chorus, the lyrics were about hares and birds and cats pancake stripes (no, I don’t know) and “wool of the dromedary from Africa”.
Eurovision Greatest Hits: Irlande Douze Pointe (Ireland, 2008)
As far as novelty entries go, a puppet turkey banging on about the Eurovision voting system is pretty much at the pinnacle.
(Junior) Eurovision Greatest Hits: Si on voulait bien (France, 2004)

Eurovision Greatest Hits: We Are Slavic (Poland, 2014)
We all remember ‘My Słowianie – We Are Slavic’ by Donatan & Cleo. Or, at least, we all remember the performance in 2014’s Eurovision Song Contest. That butter churning, amirite?
Eurovision Greatest Hits: Eastern European Funk (Lithuania, 2010)
It’s our Eurovision Greatest Hits! First up, it’s InCulto’s ‘Eastern European Funk’ from 2010. This ska-infused song is a total bop and regularly features on our pre-Eurovision party playlists while preparing our food.
Love Love Peace Peace – how to win Eurovision
A song about love? Check. Also about peace? Check. Epic key change? Yes yes yes, check. Petra Mede & Måns Zelmerlöw were the highlight of Eurovision 2016.
Terry Wogan saved Eurovision
