Revisiting the Rankings: 31

Overrated: Ireland 2008
Not that funny then, and even less funny now. Since Ireland made it to the final the past four years and did top ten one of them, this just comes off as really bitter and scared. Sure, it was after
Not to mention, Dustin rattles off the names of 18 Eastern European countries at the very end of the song, some of which had qualifying records much worse than Ireland after that year (among them, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, (FYR) Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Slovakia). Ouch.

Underrated: Belarus 2013
I gave it crap a few months ago for being dated and unoriginal, but it's still more fun than the other songs at this ranking. It's very Eurovisiony, but so are the other songs. The stage performance with the giant disco ball helps.

Trivia: This is Monaco's only appearance in my years of ranking, as 2006 was its most recent participation.

Other Songs: Austria 2007, Estonia 2009, Romania 2010, Albania 2011, Portugal 2012
