Mekado - Wir geben 'ne Party (Eurovision 1994) Germany (3rd Place)

MeKaDo was a German girl group that represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 with the song "Wir geben 'ne Party", written by Ralph Siegel. The group consisted of Melanie Bender, Kati Karney and Dorkas Kiefer.

The group name comes from the first two letters of the first name of each member.

The Eurovision Song Contest 1994 was the 39th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 30 April 1994 at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), and presented by Cynthia Ní Mhurchú and Gerry Ryan, the contest was held in Ireland following the country's victory at the 1993 contest with the song "In Your Eyes" by Niamh Kavanagh. It was the first time that any country had hosted two successive editions of the contest, following the previous year's contest held in Millstreet.

For the third time in a row, Ireland won the contest with the song "Rock 'n' Roll Kids", written by Brendan Graham and performed by Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan. Never before had a country won 3 times in a row in the history of the contest. At the same time, it was also a record sixth win, cementing Ireland as the country with the most wins in Eurovision history up till that point. Poland, Germany, Hungary and Malta rounded out the top five positions, with Poland achieving the most successful result for a début entry in the contest's history.

Fabulous party song for you today, Mekado gave it their all and came very close to winning Eurovision that year finishing in 3rd place.

Love & Peace
