Mil Etter Mil (English translation: "Mile After Mile") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in Norwegian by Jahn Teigen.
The song is a ballad, with Teigen describing his long journey to find someone and telling this person that he simply cannot walk any further - having walked "mile after mile" already.
The song was performed second on the night (following Ireland's Colm C. T. Wilkinson with Born To Sing and preceding Italy's Ricchi e Poveri with Questo amore). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 20th (last) in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1979 Contest by Anita Skorgan (Teigen's then-wife) with Oliver.
