Trivia

The host of the show, Lill Lindfors' skirt ripped off after passing through a part of the set on stage. After her "short embarrassment", she pulled the back and the front part of her dress from her shoulders, and unfolded a long white gown. In Interviews after the contest, Lill has said herself that it was planned, but not done during the rehearsals the night before.

Up until the 1985 Contest, Norway had finished in last place six times (1963, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1978 and 1981). As at the 2017 contest, Norway has had two further victories (1995 and 2009) and a further five last-place finishes (1990, 1997, 2001, the 2004 final and the 2012 final).
