Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song "For din skyld", composed by Jørgen Jersild, with lyrics by Poul Henningsen, and performed by Birgit Brüel. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), internally selected its entry for the contest.

Danmarks Radio (DR) held the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1965 on 18 February at the Studio 2 of Radiohuset in Copenhagen. The competition was held internally, and was not transmitted on television.




At Eurovision


On the evening of the final Brüel performed 14th in the running order, following Italy and preceding eventual contest winners Luxembourg. In what is often considered the first contest in which a majority of the participants had attempted to submit songs in a style which could pass for contemporary music, "For din skyld" was conspicuous as an exceptionally plain, old-fashioned ballad. However, to the surprise of many, the song picked up two maximum five points votes from Luxembourg and Sweden, potentially due to its obvious feminist message. This was enough to place Denmark seventh of the 18 entries. The Danish jury awarded its five points to the United Kingdom.
