  • The 1985 Eurovision Song Contest was the 30th in the series, and was held on May 4, 1985 in Gothenburg, Sweden, due to the victory made the previous year by the Herreys. The contest was won by duo Bobbysocks! who represented Norway. Bobbysocks!' win was the first of three for Norway, and host Lill Lindfors (who herself represented Sweden in 1966) congratulated the duo, following their victory by saying "I must say I am honestly happy that this happened because Norway has been last on so many times that you really deserve it!". Hanne Krogh, one of the duo, responded with "You're happy? What do you think we are?" Before the voting, presenter Lill Lindfors, had a misnomic "wardrobe malfunction" (the stunt was deliberate) where as she went up the stage for the voting procedure, the skirt part of her dress came away, leaving her in just her underwear and top part of her dress. She pretended to be shocked, before revealing a full length white gown after unfastening the flaps of her dress across the shoulders much to raucous applause by the audience. Lill then took her seat to call in the votes, and nonchalantly said "I just wanted to wake you up a little". According to The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History, executive supervisor Frank Naef wasn't amused, and his wife was reportedly shocked as well.
