Neurovision is the second album by Belgian electronic pop band Telex, released in 1980. The album notably features "Euro-Vision", the band's tongue-in-cheek entry to Eurovision 1980, representing their home country of Belgium, featuring "deliberately banal lyrics" about the contest itself. Reportedly, they aspired to finish last, but ended up placing 17th out of 19.
