The Eurovision Song Contest
1989 was the 34th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 6,
1989 in Lausanne,
Switzerland. The presenters were
Lolita Morena and Jacques Deshenaux. Riva was the winner of this
Eurovision with the song, Rock Me, representing Yugoslavia. This was
the first, and only, victory for Yugoslavia. The song was performed in
Croatian and its topic is a pianist who performs very well (as well as
"Mozart, Chopin and Liszt") and is asked by the singer to play
something danceable.
During the BBC broadcast of the Congratulations special in late 2005,
the commentator remarked that the title of the song can be heard
roughly every ten seconds throughout it. This song's victory has
brought the ESC to Zagreb's concert hall Vatroslav Lisinski. Riva's
front-woman Emilija Kokić continued to appear in various shows but had
no significant success after the 1989 victory.
