Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978
For the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, Sweden held a national final called Melodifestivalen 1978. The winner and representative was "Det blir alltid värre framåt natten", sung by Björn Skifs, and written and composed by Peter Himmelstrand.
Björn Skifs intended to cause controversy by singing in English, which could have disqualified him. Instead, he sang a part of the song in nonsense words, but only Swedes knew the words were wrong. He finished 14th.Points awarded by Sweden
