Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 with the song "Disco Tango", composed by Tommy Seebach, with lyrics by Keld Heick, and performed by Seebach himself. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1979 in order to select its entry for the contest. This was the first of Seebach's three Eurovision appearances for Denmark. The 1979 DMGP is notable for the participation of two of Denmark's three Eurovision winners, Grethe Ingmann and the Olsen Brothers.
