On the night of the final Hot Eyes performed 4th in the running order, following and preceding . 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 "Danish: Det' lige det|i=no", "Danish: Sku' du spørg' fra no'en?|i=no" was less successful and at the close of voting had received 41 points, placing Denmark 11th of the 19 entries.[3] The Danish jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners .[4]
