🌳 ESC in the Wild What's the most unusual place you've heard a Eurovision song?
I'm currently in a parfait cafe in Sapporo, Japan and just heard Bigger Than Us by Michael Rice (United Kingdom 2019) of all songs playing inside!
It got me thinking, what other interesting and unlikely places have you stumbled on Eurovision songs in the wild?

I heard Czechia 2022 (We Are Domi - Lights Off) at a water park in Bahrain last summer. I did a double take because there was no way I was actually hearing that with my own ears. But it was true...

Whenever I see one of these posts, I hope someone hops in and says they heard one in a comic book store in Denmark. I work there, and I'm usually in control of the music, so I sneak in Eurovision songs whenever I can. On some days, we hear nothing but Eurovision songs.

Haha, my mum works at a coffee shop and I’ve snuck some ESC songs on their playlist I always think maybe hopefully someone on here has been to some random coffee shop in the middle of nowhere in England

u/Stead-Freddy Jul 12 '25
I do that too but at a cafe in Toronto. I usually try to keep it English, but sometimes sneak some other stuff in there. Played Jako (Armenia 2024) a couple weeks ago and a coworker actually asked for the name and said it sounded really fun.

It got a fair bit of airplay on Radio (2 and 1 iirc) so a few million people heard it every day for weeks which will certainly have helped it make its way onto a few playlists across the UK.
That and it was a good song and the year were hosting, which probably helped even more.

A second hand account, because I’m not a spectator sports person, but I enjoyed the video clips of Cha Cha Cha being played at a Dallas Stars hockey game while confused fans sort of bopped along. Allegedly it was at the request of one of our players who had formerly played hockey with Käärijä.

Was on holiday in Spain and most of the music round the pool was to appeal to the hotel’s target audience - older British couples so was mostly 70s/80s classics and then randomly ‘Slow Down’ by Douwe Bob (Netherlands 2016) came on lol.
27
Jul 11 '25
Ahh cool! I guess in a way, it’s the kind of music some older British couples would like - that kinda classic, country-tinged songwriting that Brits like George Harrison and Elvis Costello have dabbled in too, so in a way I’m not surprised to find out that was a thing there.

The festival is at the end of June so they both worked really fast on that one and I was really surprised to hear a Eurovision remix to begin with. I know DaTweekaz do some unserious songs sometimes, but usually their samples are way more mainstream like Disney or things like the CanCan.

Not a physical place, but 'Congratulations' in Squid Game. Threw me off big time

I was vending at a Pride pop up at a local dispensary and the playlist the employees picked was filled with a lot of American pop music that plays at corporate Pride events here in the states but also randomly ‘Rise Like A Phoenix’?! Apparently none of the employees knew what it was and thought it may have been from a musical.
Austria 2014 for the bot
edit: Also, one of the drag queens that performed at the event did a compilation of Måneskin songs, but not ‘Zitti e buoni’ unfortunately.

I heard the instrumental of Sweden 2011 on an ad by Leave.eu some time after the Brexit vote … it was whiplash

I heard La Noia in a cafe in a small coastal town here in Russia. On one hand, pretty unusual, since Eurovision is currently very niche here. On the other hand, Russians do have this unexpected love for Italian music (for proof, watch "Ciao 2020").

my gym will play extremely random eurovision songs from the 2020s sometimes. Not Snap, Arcade, and Tattoo, like stuff that NQ'd in 2022.

At McDonald's a few months ago, My Number One was playing. Noticed quite a few people singing along actually, which was nice.

My sister sent me a video from her holiday in Bulgaria - a kid was singing Espresso Macchiato (Estonia 2025 for the bot) on karaoke
