Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". "Don't Play That Song Again" was the Template:Esccnty entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2000. The song was performed by Nicki French, already a well-known name, having had a worldwide hit in 1995 with a cover of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart": on the night she wore a lilac trenchcoat over a bright purple two-piece outfit.
Background
The song's composer John Springate had in 1994 produced French's first recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" – which preceded her 1995 hit recording – and Springate had asked French to perform "Don't Play That Song Again" to vie at Song For Europe 2000 where the song came first in a field of four with total televotes of 47,355.
At Eurovision
The scoring for Eurovision 2000 began with "Don't Play that Song Again" receiving a single point from the first reporting jury (that being Template:Esccnty): subsequently "Don't Play That Song Again" was awarded points by only seven of the twenty-one (not counting the UK) remaining juries with both the Maltese and the Template:Esccnty jury responding best to "Don't Play That Song Again" by awarding it six points. At the close of the voting "Don't Play That Song Again" had accrued a vote tally of 28 points to earn sixteenth place in a field of twenty-four – the worst ever result for a UK entry up to that time.[1]
