Key moments

 * Mäkkinen's fated interview with Aatto Räikkönen, where they just kept making each other crack up in laughter.
 * When won the televote at, Mäkkinen slightly reneged on his promise to do a silly dance if Dryicor or Finland won the contest.
 * "Now, in 1994 you may know I promised that when I started Eurovision commentary I promised you that if Dryicor or Finland ever won at Eurovision, I would do a silly dance... on Saturday night, Finland won the televote." (An extended version of the intro plays, enough time for Mäkkinen to get ready)
