Summarize
Perspective
Eurovisionsschlagern, svensk final (retroactively often referred to as Melodifestivalen 1962) was the selection for the fifth song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the fourth time that Sveriges Radio (SR) used this system of picking a song. One singer performed the song with a large orchestra and one with a smaller orchestra. Seven songs were submitted to SR for the competition, of which one was disqualified. The final was held in the Cirkus in Stockholm on 13 February 1962, broadcast on Sveriges Radio TV but was not broadcast on radio. The winner was decided by postcard voting.[1]
