iTunes has yourEurovision needs met - but it will set you back over £60

This attractive young couple are quite obviously listening to Eurovision music on their iPod.

Regular uses of the iTunes store will be aware that the online ditty emporium regularly lumps together a shedload of tracks from a certain genre under the umbrella title 'iTunes Essentials'.

Well, they've only gone and done a Eurovision version.

Called 'Eurovision Party', the user has the option of buying any one of four sections, with the complete set costing just over sixty non-Euro pounds.

All the usual suspects can be found in the list, be it Jade's entry from this year, Bucks Fizz, ABBA, Celine Dion or more recent successes such as Lordi and Katrina and the Waves.

But there are a few surprises tucked away in there as well. From Boom Bang a Blog's recent squint at the 1964 Contest, you'll find both the Italian winner and Matt Monro's silver medaller - despite I Love the Little Things rarely appearing on the artist's compilation albums.

And it even has the English version of Vicky Leandros' 1972 winner from Luxembourg, Apres Toi. Under the translated title Come What May, it reached number two in the UK charts. That made me part with 79 non-Euro pence.
