MELODIFESTIVALEN Time Machine 1981

We have just boarded the ole Mf Time Machine heading back to the Melodifest Time - 21st February 1981, The Song Contest had a
short list of only 5 songs and artists it featured the likes of Bjorn Skiffs Elisabeth Andreasson Kikki Danielsson & Britta Johansson (Sweet n Chips)
Anders Glenmark & Janne Lucas Persson.
The final result was choosen by 12 regional Juries of experts, Bjorn Skiffs had a narrow victory. Yet the public found Sweet n Chips ( 2nd place) & Janne Lucan Persson the popular choice, and both songs went on to be big hits in Sweden. Almost forgotten was the lovely ballad wrote by Agnetha Faltskog and lyrics by Ingela Forsman 'Men natten är vår' (The night is ours) we think the night was Kicki Moberg's.
Bjorn Skiffs went on to give Sweden only a halfway 10 th place in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981 in Dublin.
