Concours Eurovision '86
Swiss German and Romansh broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen der deutschen und rätoromanischen Schweiz (SF DRS) was in charge of staging and broadcasting the selection of the Swiss entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1986. It held the national final on 25 January 1986 at 21:15 CET, at its studios in Zürich, hosted by singer Paola del Medico who previously represented Switzerland in 1969 and 1980.[1][2] Five juries selected the winner: one jury each from the German, French and Italian cantons of Switzerland, one jury made up of radio, television and newspaper journalists, and one jury composed of "music experts."
French, German and Italian were represented equally in the national final, with three songs in each language. One of the three German songs, "Verschänk doch dini Liebi", was sung in the Swiss German dialect. The song "Lily Lilas" was sung partially in German and partially in French. For the first time, Romansh was represented in the national selection with the song "Tragnölin".
The winning entry was "Pas pour moi", performed by Daniela Simmons and composed by Atilla Şereftuğ, with lyrics written by Nella Martinetti. One of the members of Lily Lilas was Véronique Müller, who represented Switzerland in the 1972 contest.
