Džuli
"Džuli" (Cyrillic: Џули; English translation: Julie) was the Yugoslav entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1983, performed in Croato-Serbian by Montenegrin singer Daniel Popović. The song was also called Julie in some parts of the country.
It was performed 12th on the night, following the Netherlands' Bernadette with "Sing Me a Song" and preceding Cyprus' Stavros & Constantina with "I Agapi Akoma Zi". At the close of voting, it received 125 points, placing 4th in a field of 20.
It became a hit in Europe, being covered by artists such as Swedish dansband Wizex on the 1983 album Julie as "Julie" with lyrics in Swedish by Tommy Stjernfeldt.
It was succeeded as Yugoslav representative at the 1984 contest by Vlado & Isolda with "Ciao, amore".
