Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 with the song "Stop – mens legen er go'", written by Erik Kåre, and performed by Ulla Pia. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1966 in order to select its entry for the contest.
DR withdrew from Eurovision following the 1966 contest, and would not return to the fold until 1978. The reasons for the withdrawal are unclear, although it is believed that a new programme controller at DR did not consider the expense involved in Eurovision participation to represent value for money.
