Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 with the song "Video-video", written by Jens Brixtofte, and performed by the group Brixx. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1982 in order to select its entry for the contest. The previous year's Danish entrant Tommy Seebach failed in his bid to represent Denmark for a third time.

Before Eurovision

Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1982

At Eurovision

On the night of the final Brixx performed 13th in the running order, following Spain and preceding Yugoslavia. Denmark was one of very few countries to provide a contemporary-sounding entry in a contest dominated by 1970s-style Eurovision songs, but this proved not to be what the juries were looking for in that year. At the close of voting "Video, Video" had received only 5 points, placing Denmark 17th of the 18 entries, ahead only of the nul-points entry from Finland. The Danish jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners Germany.
