In the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, Sweden was represented by Monica Zetterlund, who later became the most popular jazz singer in Sweden. Her song, written by Bobbie Ericsson and Beppe Wolgers, was called "En gång i Stockholm" (Once upon a time in Stockholm). Carli Thornehave also sung it at the national final.
The contest, which was held in London, did not go very well for Sweden. They scored for the first (and by so far only) time the infamous nul points, among with their neighbours Finland and Norway, and also Netherlands.
