My favourite entry of Sweden is the 1984 Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley of the Herreys (a trio of brothers). The Herreys represented the country in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest and unexpectedly won first place.
When it comes to my favourite non-Swedish entry, I always go for My Star that the group Brainstorm performed in the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Stockholm, Sweden.
You have perhaps heard about this Latvian pop/rock band which is composed of four former classmates who go by the names of Renars Kaupers, Janis Jubalts, Gundars Mausevics, Kaspars Roga and an underclassman, Maris Mihelsons. The group has been formed formed in 1989 whose band name actually came from an old foreign woman's interpretation of their music - brainstorm.

Brainstorm was the first ever entry of Latvia for the said competition. With much surprise, they won the hearts of millions which made them won third after the final voting. They didn't come in first but for me, Brainstorm was the best that night!
Here's the video (and lyrics) of Brainstorm's My Star on the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest:
- My friends gonna call me: hey dreamer
The stars you are watching are so far
Tonight I know I will get there
By plane or by bus - right to my star
Pretend there are things you just dont know
In spite someones told you are so cute
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so
If my star will fall
Or disappeared at all
I will follow my star till the end of my days,
And my hearts gonna lead me through so many ways,
And if you gonna join me Ill be your guide,
Baby, never say never, be my runaway bride
My friends gonna tell me: just calm down
The clouds you are walking are so high
This is my chance, and Ill invite
All the dreamers and lovers to fly (fly).
Im back from the future, life goes on,
But still I remember my promise
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so
If my star will fall
Or disappeared at all
I will follow my star till the end of my days,
And my hearts gonna lead me through so many ways,
And if you gonna join me Ill be your guide,
Baby, never say never, be my runaway bride
