Lyrics:
Hvil deg nå, du er sliten\\nHvil din kropp før din kraft ebber ut\\nVann pipler inn i dine sko\\nDu vandrer i regn\\n\nMil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\n\nSøk mot meg hvis du lengter\\nRett ditt sinn mot et annet sted\\nKomm hit hvor jeg er, hvor solen er nær\\nDu må ikke gå\\n\nMil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\n\nOg det er langt å gå\\nDet er lengselen som driver deg\\nMot et lys som du kan se\\nMen ikke jeg\\n\nTenk deg om nå\\nHvor farer du hen\\nDu har vandret altfor lenge\\n\nMil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\n\nTenk deg om nå\\nHvor farer du hen\\nDu har vandret altfor lenge\\n\nMil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil etter mil etter mil\\nEtter mil
Norway was represented by Jahn Teigen, with the song '"Mil etter mil", at the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 22 April in Paris. "Mil etter mil" was chosen as the Norwegian entry at the Melodi Grand Prix on 18 March. "Mil etter mil" is famous both for Teigen's notoriously bizarre stage performance in Paris, and for being the first song ever to score nul-points under the 12 points voting system. (It was said that one of the reasons for the introduction of the current system in 1975 had been that the European Broadcasting Union had considered it unlikely in the extreme that any song would finish the evening with a zero with national juries now able to vote for ten songs, rather than the three or five which had been the case with previous ranking systems used in the 1960s and which had led to so many going home empty-handed.)
Overall Final Postion: 20
