"En gång i Stockholm" by Monica Zetterlund/Carli Thornhave

Melodifestivalen 1963 (known as Eurovisionsschlagern, svensk final) was the selection for the sixth song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the fifth time that this system of picking a song had been used. One singer performed the song with a large orchestra and one with a smaller orchestra. 816 songs were submitted to SVT for the competition. The final was broadcast on Sveriges Radio TV but was not broadcast on radio. Monica Zetterlund performed "En gång i Stockholm" at Eurovision, and became the first and only artist to score "nul points" for Sweden.
