At Eurovision
On the night of the final Hot Eyes performed 4th in the running order, following Cyprus and preceding Spain. The song featured vocal interjections from Søren's 9-year-old daughter, who scampered about the stage while removing clothing accessories from the backing singers and putting them on herself. Although very similar in style to the previous year's "Det' lige det", "Sku' du spørg' fra no'en?" was less successful and at the close of voting had received 41 points, placing Denmark 11th of the 19 entries.[2] The Danish jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners Norway.[3]
