| abstract | - Solhverv was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 in London, performed by Anita Thallaug. The song is in the chanson style, popular in the early years of the Contest. Thallaug describes her feelings when she is with her lover, comparing the happiness she knows she will have with him to the happy knowledge that Spring is soon to arrive when the Winter Solstice occurs. The song was performed fifth on the night, following Austria and preceding Italy. At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded Nul Points, placing 13th (equal last). This was the first occasion on which Norway had failed to score a point in Contest history, and the country would go on to claim the unwanted record of the most zeroes.
