"Karusell" - Kirsti Sparboe
The Norwegian Final was held on February 13th at the NRK TV Studios in Oslo, hosted by Odd Grythe. Each of the songs were performed twice - firstly with a small band, and secondly with an orchestra. Wenche Myhre was due to be one of the performers of "Karusell", but couldn't participate due to health problems, which is why Kirsti Sparboe sang the song twice. The winner was chosen by postcard voting.
