Uh Jeg Ville Ønske Jeg Var Dig

"Uh Jeg Ville Ønske Jeg Var Dig" (English translation: "Ooh, I'd Wish I Were You") was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1959, performed in Danish by Birthe Wilke.

The song was performed second on the night (following France's Jean Philippe with "Oui, Oui, Oui, Oui" and preceding Italy's Domenico Modugno with "Piove (Ciao, ciao bambina)". At the close of voting, it had received 12 points, placing 5th in a field of 11.

The song is a love ballad, in which Wilke sings about how much she wishes she were her lover. She then describes how she would love herself in this situation, including asking for her hand in marriage.

It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1960 Contest by Katy Bødtger with "Det Var En Yndig Tid".
