Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1986

The Danish national final to select their entry, the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, was held on 22 February 1986 at the Danmarks Radio Studios in Copenhagen, and was hosted for the ninth straight time by radio and television host Jørgen de Mylius. Five regional juries across Denmark selected the winning song out of five songs that survived a semifinal round.

gollark: Specifically, when one transmits, it's displayed if in range regardless of what was previously shown.
gollark: <@418589168197697556> <@184468521042968577> Actually, it'll flip between them periodically.
gollark: Wait, not 50, 20.
gollark: Range is deprecated because Ale32bit and is now capped at 50. Use cuboids.
gollark: Anyway, the cuboid thing means that you can, for example, set up a beacon to only broadcast in a specific shop at Wolf Mall, instead of a sphere, which is annoying.
