It's Just A Game was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, performed in English and French - with some lyrics in Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Irish, Serbo-Croatian, Hebrew, Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian - by the Bendik Singers.
The song is written as a series of suggestions for wooing a woman, with the singers all in agreement that one should not take the process too seriously or use too many ornate terms of endearment in the process.
The song was performed fifth on the night (following Germany's Gitte with Junger Tag and preceding Monaco's Marie with Un Train Qui Part). At the close of voting, it had received 89 points, placing 7th in a field of 17.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1974 Contest by Anne Karine with The First Day Of Love.
Unusually, each one of the four singers in the group would return to the Contest stage in later years. Both female vocalists would appear solo (Nikolaysen both as a backing singer and a solo performer), while the male singers would both appear as backing vocalists.
