This appeared to confuse him, and Boyle agreed that to avoid any delay, they would come back to the Norwegian jury after all the other countries had voted. After the last scheduled jury in had given their votes, Switzerland was ahead of Denmark by 39 points to 38. Had the votes originally announced by Norway been allowed to stand, Switzerland would have won by 42 points to 40. Boyle then went back to the spokesman in Oslo who now announced 5 to the United Kingdom, 4 to Denmark, 3 to Italy, 2 to Germany and 1 to Switzerland, giving the victory to Denmark by 2 points. In response to the controversy which followed the show, the European Broadcasting Union investigated the role of the Norwegian jury and concluded that there was no evidence of wrongdoing, with the confusion arising from misunderstandings.

Points awarded to Denmark Charts English version and covers Following the Contest, Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann also recorded and released "Dansevise" in English with the title "I Loved You". The song is also published in Swedish by Anne-Lie Rydé and in Finnish by Laila Kinnunen.

DR decided to include "Dansevise" in the opening sequence of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 Grand Final. Grethe Sønck inherited the rights to the song after Sejr Volmer-Sørensen's death. Grethe Sønck took great care of the song and very few were allowed to record it or use it. After her death, it has become easier to get the rights to use it. Among other things, it has been used as background music in a bank advertisement. See also Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest Eurovision Song Contest 1963 References Songs about
