Jedward's "Lipstick"

While there's no denying that Ireland's Jedward are full of energy, their 2011 entry into the Eurovision Song Contest was bags of fun, if not a little strange.

The pair had gained notoriety after appearing on "The X Factor" two years earlier, but took the spotlight again when they graced the stage in red sparkly blazers with larger-than-life shoulder pads which looked like something out of Lady Gaga's wardrobe. Of course, the pair also sported their trademark gravity-defying quiffs as they bounded about the stage like gazelles.

Despite the hook being somewhat of an earworm, the pop duo reached 8th in the competition with the track, although they did get Ireland's best result for 11 years. "Lipstick" went on to hit the charts in Belgium, Sweden, Germany, and Austria, where it landed at number 3. They returned to the competition the following year with their track, "Waterline", but didn't do so well at 19th place.
