Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 1985
Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 with the song "Sku' du spørg' fra no'en?", composed by Søren Bundgaard, with lyrics by Keld Heick, and performed by Hot Eyes. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1985 in order to select its entry for the contest. This was the second consecutive Eurovision appearance for the duo.
Before Eurovision
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1985
Danmarks Radio (DR) held the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1985 on 9 March at the ASA Filmudlejning studios in Lyngby-Taarbæk, hosted by Jørgen de Mylius. Ten songs took part with the winner being decided by voting from five regional juries. Other participants included DMGP institution Tommy Seebach, Gry Johansen who represented, and Lise Haavik (Trax) who would represent. The national final was also broadcast in Greenland's KNR-TV.
At Eurovision
On the night of the final Hot Eyes performed 4th in the running order, following and preceding. The song featured vocal interjections from Søren's 9-year-old daughter, who scampered about the stage while removing clothing accessories from the backing singers and putting them on herself. Although very similar in style to the previous year's "Det' lige det", "Sku' du spørg' fra no'en?" was less successful and at the close of voting had received 41 points, placing Denmark 11th of the 19 entries. The Danish jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners.
