"O Julissi" is a song with imaginary lyrics by Ishtar. The folk song represented Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 first semi-final in Belgrade, but failed to make it to the grand final. The single was released March 14, 2008. The song entered the Belgian Ultratop at #7. In its second week, O Julissi topped the list.

Ishtar's song was elected after they won the final of Eurosong 2008. Ishtar, until then an unknown band, defeated better known artists, like pop singers Sandrine and Brahim. The other contestants in the final were rock group Paranoiacs and Nelson, who had written a ballad.

Ishtar performed their song during the semi-finals on May 20, 2008 but were not selected to take part in the final of the competition.
