"'Piccadilly Circus'" is a song written by Lars Andersson and Bruno Glenmark, and performed by Pernilla Wahlgren at Melodifestivalen 1985, where the song ended up fourth behind "Bra vibrationer", performed by Kikki Danielsson. The single peaked at second place at the Swedish singles chart. On 9 March 1985 the song entered Trackslistan. The song lyrics describe a love meeting at Piccadilly Circus.
Wahlgren entered stage with the brothers Vito and Emilio Ingrosso as dancers. Wahlgren was later criticised for wearing an Iron Cross-like item on stage, which was referred to as Nazi propaganda.
A Framt fredag parody version was called "Inga djur p cirkus", describing Miljpartiet in 2005 asking for stop using animals at circus shows in Sweden.[http://sverigesradio.se/vast/framotfredag/texter/Inga%20djur%20p%C3%A5%20cirkus.htm Framt fredag - 'Inga djur p cirkus']
