Bienvenue! Wilkommen! Guten Tag! Welcome to The Cat’s annual Eurovision special. In previous years I’ve counted down my Top 10 Eurovision songs of all-time in-between a selection of past and present entries. This year I’m going to mix some of my favourites with non-Eurovision tracks by Eurovision entrants and tracks with a flavour of Europe. Every week we have one Foreign Language track; this week there are quite a few for your delectation. Enjoy!
