In 1986 Switzerland gave us a Luxembourgian power-ballad with big hair and a piano (one of number of power-ballads that year). The hair may or may not have been on loan from Jennifer Rush but the song was definitely on loan from Luxembourg.

Switzerland invented the cockney chanson for 1970, with Henri Dès putting in some terribly annoying comic double-take glances. The song treads a fine line between irritating and fun. Europe let the side down by putting it 4th and breaking the pretty sea of 2nds we've achieved in this chart so far.

One of several 'alternative media' -themed songs in 1980 (a trend that reached its zenith with "Opera" three years later). It's everything you'd expect from the genre ("Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton / Et le monde de Walt Disney"), and Paola's sitcom-wife-at-a-party delivery is beatifully bouncy. There's even a tap break.

Two in a row for Paola del Medico in this chart. Her first outing is definitely the better of the two: a cheeky little French number with a pinch of Siw for the Scandinavian contingent. Plus, for our Greek viewers, there's one of those bits where we slow it down and then steadily speed it up.

Yovanna, that mate you made at the staff Christmas party who you last saw standing on a table and calling Dan from accounts a swollen testicle for not joining in, is here at the Karaoke night and agrees to show you her Piaf for a pint of gin. It's going to be another good night.

Our winner in 1975 is a song that utilizes the sort of repetition that is probably banned under a Geneva convention. A seemingly innocent and sweet introduction gives way to the bouncing "Bananas in Pyjamas" cabaret-style chorus (complete with tuned percussion) that will never ever leave you. Never. Ever. No matter how hard you try. Some might call that annoying. But it's a fine line between annoying and amazing, and this is firmly camped in the latter. It has a good chorus, it knows it, and it will continue to use it until the time is up. It is wise to do so.
