1994 Dublin - Number 13 - Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan - "Rock 'n' Roll Kids"
youtube
There's a theory that the RTE wanted this song to lose. They thought it would lose. Hosting three years in a row would bankrupt them at a time of financial hardship. If that's true, then their plan failed spectacularly as Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan romped home to win the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest by a huge margin. It also easily won the Irish national selection final that year.
Rock 'n' Roll Kids is a piece of cardigan-wearing, folksy nostalgia about two old men watching their kids do all the same things they did as teenagers, and just feeling their age. Perhaps it's that non-standard subject matter for Eurovision that made it stand out. Paul and Charlie however probably made the difference. They have the same warmth in their voices that Niamh Kavanagh had the previous year. There's a huge amount of authenticity about their song and their harmonies. This a song taken from a stage in a pub in Dublin and put in front of a European audience - and it works.
Of the two of them, it was Paul Harrington who went on to have more sustained musical success in a bit of a niche role. He often sang sets for stars visiting Dublin at Lillie's Bordello, one of the premier nightspots in Dublin, performing all manner of A-listers over the years. Occasionally he even appeared with them and toured by himself as well.

Eurovision Song Contest 1994
April 30 1994 | Dublin, Ireland
In 1994 seven countries joined the Eurovision Song Contest in what was the biggest single expansion in participants since the contest began in 1956. Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia all competed in the 39th Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. Poland's debut at the Eurovision Song Contest was very successful when their representative Edyta Gorniak finished second with 166 points.
The interval act in 1994 was the then unknown Riverdance, an act which combined traditional Irish folk music with modern dance. Riverdance became a global phenomenon, with the exception of participating artists, it is arguably the biggest money-spinner ever created by Eurovision. Lithuania scored zero points with its first ever entry.
Never before in the history of the song contest had a country had won three times in a row. The Irish entrants Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan sang Rock 'n Roll Kids, which in the end was 60 points ahead of the runner-up and at 226 points was the highest score ever at a Eurovision Song Contest up to that date.

*I did uncover some information regarding Lisa Gold-Rubin and Nehama Shutan which would make them Pisces and Leo respectively, however I was unable to confirm whether they were the actual Eurovision performers or whether they just happened to share the same names. The lead for Gold-Rubin is stronger... but still unconfirmed 😅
**Some sites list Tymofii's birthday as being in September, however his actual Ukrainian Wikipedia page shows it as February 6th, so that's what I'm going with
Corrections/additional information welcome!
#Cancerian winners continue to be an endangered species#Baby Lasagna could have joined them but alas#Then again so could've gjon's tears#And daði freyr#And sam ryder#Damn there's a few misses looking into it#Eurovision#Esc winners

Eurovision 1994: The actual result
This is your spoiler warning for 1994. If you don't know now, well I'm going to tell you who won Eurovision.
And of course, even if Ireland had tried to tank their chances, it just wasn't going to work. They won for the third time in a row, the only country to do so before or since. Besides Ireland, other English language entries finished fifth and tenth - not quite as well as was expected. On the other hand, the new countries fared outstandingly. Poland, Hungary and Russia all finished in the top 10, with Poland second. Germany had a good year (and a party) and finished third.
The countries unluckily finishing at the bottom were Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland all of whom would have to take a year off in 1995. Lithuania scored the first nil points since Austria managed in in 1991.
Here then is the full result of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest
Ireland - Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan - "Rock 'n' Roll Kids"
Poland - Edyta Górniak - "To Nie Ja!"
Germany - MeKaDo - "Wir Geben 'ne Party"
Hungary - Friderika Bayer - "Kinek Mondjam El Vétkeimet"
Malta - Moira Stafrace & Christopher Scicluna - "More Than Love"
Norway - Elisabeth Andreasson & Jan Werner Danielsen - "Duett"
France - Nina Morato - "Je Suis Un Vrai Garçon"
Portugal - Sara Tavares - "Chamar A Música"
Russia - Youddiph - "Vechni Stranik"
United Kingdom - Frances Ruffelle - "We Will Be Free (Lonely Symphony)"
Cyprus - Evridiki - "Ime Anthropos Ke Ego"
Iceland - Sigga - "Nætur"
Sweden - Marie Bergman & Roger Pontare - "Stjärnorna"
Greece - Costas Bigalis and the Sea Lovers - "To Trehantiri"
Bosnia & Herzegovina - Alma & Dejan - "Ostani Kraj Mene"
Croatia - Tony Cetinski - "Nek'ti Bude Ljubav Sva"
Austria - Petra Frey - "Für Den Frieden Der Welt"
Spain - Alejandro Abad - "Ella No Es Ella"
Switzerland - Duilio - "Sto Pregando"
Slovakia - Martin Ďurinda & Tublatanka - "Nekonečná pieseň"
Romania - Dan Bittman - "Dincolo De Nori"
Finland - CatCat - "Bye Bye Baby"
Netherlands - Willeke Alberti - "Waar Is De Zon"
Estonia - Silvi Vrait - "Nagu Merelaine"
Lithuania - Ovidijus Vyšniauskas - "Lopšinė mylimai"
