"Merci, Chérie" (French pronunciation: [mɛʁsi ʃeʁi]; "Thank you, darling") is a song composed and recorded by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens with lyrics by himself and Thomas Hörbiger.

[1] Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) internally selected "Merci, Chérie" as its entry for the 11th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

[2] On 5 March 1966, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at Villa Louvigny in Luxembourg hosted by the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT), and broadcast live throughout the continent.

Jürgens performed "Merci, Chérie" ninth on the evening, following Portugal's "Ele e ela" by Madalena Iglésias and preceding Sweden's "Nygammal vals" by Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson.

The song was succeeded as contest winner in 1967 by "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw for the United Kingdom, and as the Austrian entry in that year by "Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt" by Peter Horten [de].
