Ulla Pia started her career as a vocalist with bands and orchestras in Copenhagen . In the mid-1960s she was singing with jazz musician Finn Ziegler , and it was suggested in 1966 that she enter a song in the Danish Eurovision selection , Dansk Melodi Grand Prix . She performed the song " Stop - mens legen er go ' " ( " Stop , While the Going 's Good " ) , and to her surprise , emerged the clear winner . Ulla Pia stated in a recent interview that she had assumed that one of her better-known competitors ( such as Dario Campeotto or Gustav Winckler ) would win , and her victory came as a shock to her . Ulla Pia went forward to the eleventh Eurovision Song Contest , held on 5 March in Luxembourg City , where " Stop - mens legen er go ' " could manage only 14th place of the 18 entries , despite an engaging performance in which Ulla Pia was joined on stage , unusually for the time , by two dancers . It would prove to be Denmark 's last Eurovision appearance for over a decade , as broadcaster DR withdrew from the competition in 1967 , and would not return until 1978
