My Favourite Eurovision Songs – Romanca, Croatia’s 2008 entry.

This performance is two for the price of one. With Kraljevi Ulice & 75 Cents’ “Romanca” you get the spectacle of a septuagenarian rapping in Croatian, paired with a genuinely haunting song. It was especially notable for its excellent selection of hats.

Miserably,they only came 21st out of 25, with 44 points. I suspect the lyrics are a bit too meaningful and depressing for the tastes of most Eurovision judges. For me, it was the best song of the year, though it would probably be improved by 75 Cents not shouting in the middle.
