"Trödler und Co." - Peter, Sue & Marc + Pfuri, Gorps & Kniri

"We´re the junk dealers and companions and this is our melody"

The Swiss Final was held on January 27th.  There were meant to be 8 songs in the contest, but "Amour, on t'aime" by Alain Morisod & Son Groupe was withdrawn as the group had recently split up - the song however would return in the 1982 Swiss Final.  The winning song was chosen by the votes of 3 regional juries, a press jury and a jury of "experts".
