LOOKING AT THE NORWEGIAN EUROVISION ENTRIES – 1981 TO 2025 – 1991
In 1991 NORWAY was represented by the group JUST 4 FUN at the Eurovision song contest. They sang MRS THOMPSON – in Norwegian. The members of the group Just 4 Fun were Marianne Antonsen, Jan Groth, Eiríkur Hauksson, and Hanne Krogh.
I was in Oslo at the time and bought the vinyl single there so it is the Norwegian pressing. The A-side has the song in Norwegian and the B-side the song in English. I like the song a lot.

LOOKING AT THE NORWEGIAN EUROVISION ENTRIES – 1981 TO 2025 – 1985
Fortunes changed for NORWAY in 1985. After having come last and even getting zero points several times, they finally won the Eurovision song contest for the first time in 1985 with LA DET SWINGE. It was performed by a female duo called BOBBYSOCKS. This duo was made up by HANNE KROGH and ELISABETH ANDREASSEN. My vinyl single has both the Norwegian original and the English version on it. The English version is called LET IT SWING. Rolf Lovland wrote the original song and Alixzandra wrote the English lyrics.
