Mata Hari was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, performed in English by Anne Karine Strøm.
The song is an up-tempo number, in which Strøm sings about the difficulties she faces in life. The cure for these, she sings, is to borrow some of the mystique of Mata Hari, to whom she addresses the song. The sexual exploits of the famous woman are implied to have been considerable.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following the Netherlands' Sandra Reemer with The Party's Over and preceding Greece's Mariza Koch with Panayia Mu, Panayia Mu). At the close of voting, it had received 7 points, placing 18th (last) in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1977 Contest by Anita Skorgan with Casanova.
