Germany 12 points is something we don't hear that often. So Eurovision fan Donato Plögert wrote a song about it. Please, Vote For Me (Even if I'm from Germany) is out now through all your favourite digitessen.
I moved up the 2019 Donato Plögert post about his Eurocovers album (see below video).
Here's the Eurovers post about Donato Plögert's Eurovision covers album.

A Song can
be a bridge, Eurovision fans know that. Die-hard Eurocovers fans also know
Donato Plögert, the German singer, actor, entertainer, multi-talent whose
German language versions of Eurovision Cult classics have earned him a loyal following
among fans.
Now the hardest working man in German theater has released a digital album with all of his Eurovision coverversions to date and a few we haven't heard before.
From the
first ones from his 1996 album Eins Blieb Ungesagt up to his version of the
first Portuguese winner Amar Pelos Dois titled Mein Herz Schlägt Für Zwei. This man loves Eurovision.
That last
one may have been a winner, but Donato Plögerts selections are mostly lesser
known fan favorites including some that didn’t do too well at Eurovision (Willeke says hi).
To be fair, there is quite a bit of Drama and some are an acquired taste. The album can
certainly not be accused of relying on the easy boom bang-a-bangy Eurovision
classics. It's great these songs get a second chance in life.
