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.
