Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 with the song "Oj, oj, oj, så glad jeg skal bli", written by Arne Bendiksen, and performed by Kirsti Sparboe. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), selected its entry through the Melodi Grand Prix 1969. This was the last of three Eurovision appearances in five years for Sparboe.
The lyrics of "Oj, oj, oj, så glad jeg skal bli" – in which the singer appears to tolerate her partner's philandering ways by trying to convince herself that one day he will give them up and devote himself to her – caused a considerable degree of adverse comment from some sections of Norwegian society and became the subject of a good deal of debate.
