Remember this is the same coutry that lost a world empire
Waterloo is the best Eurovision song
Abba's Waterloo is the perfect Eurovision song.
Researchers at the University of Bristol say It contains the ideal combination of seven crucial ingredients to make it the best Eurovision song of all time.
The seven crucial elements include pace and rhythm, an easily memorable song, the perfect chorus, key change, a clearly defined finish, dance routine and costume reports The Sun.
Dr Harry Witchel who lead the team said: "For any music fan it should come as no surprise that Waterloo is the perfect Eurovision song.
"The main thrust of the song, the word Waterloo, is just three syllables long and then there's a lot of space for it to become both memorable and emotionally evocative.
"It's completely different from most other songs in terms of harmonies and rhythm. I don't think there will be too many tracks of its quality in the next 50 years of Eurovision."
Celine Dion's Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi, which won the contest in 1988, came second in the list of perfect songs.
Her song was followed by the UK's 1967 entry, Puppet on a String by Sandie Shaw.
The Eurovision Song Contest will take place tomorrow night in Kiev.
