The song was performed sixth on the night (after Turkey's Neco with "Hani?" and before Switzerland's Arlette Zola with "Amour on t'aime"). At the close of voting, it had received no points, placing 18th (last) in a field of 18. This was Finland's third and so far last nul points and fifth appearance in last place.
The song suggests that sleeping through a nuclear crisis ("If someone soon throws a nuclear poo here on our Europe") is the best way of avoiding it. Oversleeping is said to "calm you down", among other benefits. Kojo also recorded the song in English, then under the title "Bomb Out".
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1983 Contest by Ami Aspelund with "Fantasiaa".
