Revisiting the Rankings: 37

There were 37 songs in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, the fewest since I started ranking them, so all eight years are represented from now on.

Overrated: United Kingdom 2010
Some of the other songs at this rank sound dated, but this one is both dated and tired. It felt much too amateur for a country that is such a major player in the music industry.

Underrated: Hungary 2013
This turned out a lot better on stage than I thought it would. The instrumental version is one of the best in this year's contest. It sounds like a sleepy town background music from an RPG.

Trivia: Hungary and the United Kingdom are both represented twice at rank 37 (Hungary in 2008 and 2013, United Kingdom in 2006 and 2010).

Other Songs: Armenia 2007, Cyprus 2011, Lithuania 2012
