" Intet er nytt under solen " ( " There 's nothing new under the sun " ) was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 , performed in Norwegian by Åse Kleveland . In the Norwegian selections before 1977 , all competing songs were performed twice , with big and small orchestra , but this is the only song to have been issued in two versions ; Åse Kleveland 's record using the big arrangement and Grynet Molvig issuing a version with the small orchestra . This song was Norway 's best placing until 1985 when they won the contest with La Det Swinge , also in Norwegian . The song was performed sixth on the night , following Yugoslavia 's Berta Ambrož with " Brez besed " and preceding Finland 's Ann Christine with " Playboy " . At the close of voting , it had received 15 points , placing 3rd in a field of 18 - Norway 's highest finish at the time
