Arguably the most famous Eurovision song ever, this shockingly only came 3rd in the contest, but has gone on to sell millions, and even came 2nd in the Congratulations gala held in 2005.

Domenico Modugno would go on to represent Italy again in 1959, 1962 (as a composer) and finally in 1966 where he actually got 0 points!

Yeah, it is a pity this one didn't win, but the success it had later just proved how great the song was. My favorite entry of the 50s :)

I like this one.

Jimmy Osmond performed it on 'Popstar to Opera Star' last week.The public put him in the bottom two,and rightly so - he murdered the song !!

Great song but poorly performed in ESC. I would like to bet that Waterloo is every bit as recognisable around the world as Nel Blu, perhaps even Congratulations. I was at a retirement party in Ankara last year and the whole restaurant started singing Congratulations. I was amazed!
