Rock Me

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rock Me was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, performed by Riva, representing Yugoslavia, the first and only time that this country would win the Contest.

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 frontwoman Emilija Kokić continued to appear in various shows but had no significant success after the 1990 victory.

The song was succeeded as winner in 1990 by Toto Cutugno representing Italy with Insieme: 1992.
