Dukkemann was the Norwegian song at the 1967 contest, and performed by Kirsti Sparboe, who represented the country in 1965, and would do so again in 1969. The song is a ballad, in which Sparboe compares life to being a marionette. She describes a puppet which appeared to take a somewhat cynical view of the world, only to have its string cut. Thus, she sings, her listeners should remember to grasp life with both hands, like the dancing puppets. The song was performed thirteenth on the night, following Spain and preceding Monaco. At the close of voting, it had received 2 points, placing 14th.
