ESC is not political, voting is somewhat cultural, maybe, but the results would have been considerably similar even if you check the votes separately by the eastern and western block:

ObEBT: I won some money with a little help from the ESC.

I was in favour of Greece

Sarbel - Yassou (or Geia sou) Maria

Terrible song actually, but just because I was in Greece at that time with friends (or actually with school

) and we had so much fun around this song, we also watched the contest there in Greece, but couldn't vote for Greece unfortunately

Except of this there wasn't a particular song I liked....Euridiki - Comme Ci Comme Ca maybe...But that's Cyprus

First I thought, hey, the tune of that second song is catchy ... and then I knew why.

That is a cover version of the Cirque du Soleil's "Alegría" from the mid-90s:
