"Amsterdam" was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed in Dutch by Maggie MacNeal. The song is in praise of the Dutch capital, with MacNeal singing that it is one of the great cities of the world, due in no small part to the atmosphere it creates due to its age. The uncharacteristically patriotic tilt of the lyrics can be explained by the fact that the Contest that year took place in The Hague.

  • "Amsterdam" was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed in Dutch by Maggie MacNeal. The song is in praise of the Dutch capital, with MacNeal singing that it is one of the great cities of the world, due in no small part to the atmosphere it creates due to its age. The uncharacteristically patriotic tilt of the lyrics can be explained by the fact that the Contest that year took place in The Hague. The song was performed 15th on the night, following Portugal's José Cid with "Um grande, grande amor" and preceding France's Profil with "Hé, hé M'sieurs dames". At the close of voting, it had received 93 points, placing 5th in a field of 19. It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1981 Contest by Linda Williams with "Het is een wonder".
  • "Amsterdam" ("Amesterdão") foi a canção que representou os Países Baixos no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 1980, interpretada em neerlandês por Maggie MacNeal (pseudónimo artístico de Sjoukje Smit-van't Spijker). A referida canção tinha letra de Alex Alberts, música de Frans Smit, Robert Verwey e Maggie MacNeal. A canção é um elogio à cidade de Amesterdão/Amesterdã', em que Maggie canta que aquela cidade é uma das maiores cidades do mundo, não pelo seu tamanho, mas pela antiguidade. Esta canção foi a 15º a ser interpretada no evento, a seguir à canção portuguesa interpretada por José Cid e antes da canção francesa interpretada pelos Profil. No final da votação, recebeu 93 pontos e terminou em 5º lugar, entre 19 países participantes.
