Last week we discussed the role of national languages in Eurovision on EuroSongCountdown.

Here are some examples of songs which had their language changed from the national final to the Eurovision stage.

Latvia 2009 from Sastregums to Probka:

Croatia 2002 from Sasvim Sigurna to Everything I Want

Sweden 2004 from Det Gor Ont to It Hurts

Netherlands 1975 from Dinge Dong to Ding-A-Dong

Norway 1998 from All I Ever Wanted Was You to Alltid Sommer

Does language make a difference? Comment below.
