Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 with the song "Dukkemann", composed by Tor Hultin, with lyrics by Ola B. Johannessen, and performed by Kirsti Sparboe. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 1967 in order to select its entry for the contest. This was the second of Sparboe's three Eurovision appearances for Norway.
Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) held the Melodi Grand Prix 1967 at Centralteatret in Oslo, hosted by Jan Voigt. Ten performers and five songs took part in the final with each song sung twice by different singers, once with a small combo and once with a full orchestra. The winning song was chosen by voting from ten regional juries.[1]
On the evening of the final Sparboe performed 13th in the running order, following Spain and preceding Monaco. Each national jury had 10 points to distribute between the songs, and at the close "Dukkemann" had picked up 2 points (1 each from the Netherlands and Sweden), placing Norway joint 14th (with Austria and the Netherlands) of the 17 entries. The Norwegian jury awarded 7 of its 10 points to contest winners the United Kingdom.[2]
