Que me quiten lo bailao
Lucía Pérez
Spain

“Que me quiten lo bailao” is a Spanish expression that means something along the lines of “they can’t take away the fun I’ve had”. This is a good attitude for the Spanish to have, as this is their only song to make this list. To be fair, the main reason for this was the selection procedure, where most of the focus was on finding a singer. Several weeks were spent narrowing down 24 acts before 3 were selected to sing 3 new songs each in the final. Lucía Pérez eventually won with 68% of the vote. She would go on to finish 23rd at Eurovision.


If this doesn't add cheer to your Monday, you're dead inside.
