Best song of Lugano 1956?

[AnonymousESCfan]

So, since it's 4AM on a saturday night/sunday morning, I decided to start running polls on the best songs from each year, here we will be taking a look at the year that started it all... Lugano '56. Even tough this year had the fewest participating countries at 7, each of them sent in 2 songs instead of 1, resulting in 14 songs total, higher than Frankfurt '57 , Hilversum '58 ,Cannes '59 , London '60 and Amsterdam '70. Reguardless, it's time for you to decide who is still considered the best in 2016!

Quite a good first year for Eurovision. I love Den vogels van Holland, Das alte Karussell and Aprite le finestre, but voted for Aprite le finestre!

Honorable mention for "Ne Crois Pas," but "So Geht Das Jede Nacht" is one of the absolute best songs ever sent to ESC.

1956 is a great first year edition. I have my top 3 on my playlists.

01. Luxembourg – Michéle Arnaud – Ne crois pas
02. Germany – Walter Andreas Schwarz – Im Warteaal zum größen Glück
03. France – Dany Dauberson – Il est là
04. Belgium – Fud Leclerc – Messieurs les Noyés de la Seine
05. Germany – Freddy Quinn – So geht das jede Nacht

I am sorry to say this, but the winner song Refrain is my least favourite song of all the 14 entries of the evening. The 1956 edition had a much better potential than that.
