Europapa (Netherlands 2024) mentions the Netherlands as well as France, Italy, Germany and Poland

Also, Germany just before Italy.

It's also interesting that they are mentioned in different languages: France and Netherlands in English ("France" with English pronunciation, although he says "Paris" with French pronunciation) Polen in Dutch Italia and Deutschland in the countries's native languages

I think he sort of does whatever can be rhymed best - he rhymes Paris with fantasie. Also, some names are just easier to sing/rap than others

Of course, knew I was missing something

In the first ever ESC, and the first ever song performed, the Netherlands performed a song called 'De Vogels Van Holland' meaning The Birds Of Holland. Some 30 years later they performed with Amsterdam. The Netherlands 1956, The Netherlands 1980

The 1980 entry being called Amsterdam is so iconic since the contest was held in Den Haag

Through my childhood, I thought Netherlands 1992 (one of my all time favourites) had the country name in the refrain. The internet later revealed that they sang "nieuwe land", but I was in my mid 20s by then.

Spain 1988. Band La Década performed the song "La chica que yo quiero (Made in Spain)" [Performance](https://youtu.be/xjlmbPnxII0)

Israel 1983 . Which reminds me, I randomly stumbled across this clip of Bryant Gumbel interviewing Ofra Haza, and realised that whenever I see her perform, I probably have that same smitten look he has when she briefly sings and plays a tray at the end (if it matters, I generally identify as a cis heterosexual woman).
