Lola Novaković performing "Ne Pali Svetla u Sumrak" ("Don't Turn the Lights on at Twilight"), the Yugoslav entry at the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest.
Yugoslavia's second-ever entry and one of their relatively few Serbian-language ones, this song was possibly the year's best ballad aside from the French one and definitely that contest's jazziest tune (love that sax, btw!), a sweet, atmospheric lullaby wonderfully sung by Lola, one of her country's most popular singers during the 60s. The juries also loved it, since its joint 4th place was Yugoslavia's only top-5 placing until 1983!
