Farré 's first attempt at Eurovision came in 1981 when , as a newcomer , she entered the Swiss selection heat , only for her song " Una cosa meravigliosa " to finish sixth and last . She was to have more luck in 1983 with " Io così non ci sto " ( " I Do n't Like It This Way " ) , which won the selection and went forward to the 28th Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 23 April in Munich , where it finished in a disappointing 15th place of the 20 entries . Undeterred , Farré returned in 1985 with two participating songs ; a solo entitled " Oh , mein Pierrot " , and " Piano , piano " , a duet with Pino Gasparini ( himself a Eurovision veteran , having been the lead singer with Switzerland 's 1977 entrants the Pepe Lienhard Band ) . " Piano , Piano " ( which despite its title was sung in German ) emerged the winner and advanced to the 1985 Eurovision , held in Gothenburg , Sweden on 4 May . Farré this time got a slightly better result , 12th of 19
