Lykken Er (English translation: "Happiness Is", the title is often rendered with an ellipsis) was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971, performed in Norwegian by Hanne Krogh.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Krogh describing what she sees as examples of happiness - a series of small pleasures such as "an old hat/Which used to belong to your best friend" and "breakfast in bed".
The song was performed eighteenth on the night (following Finland's Markku Aro & Koivistolaiset with Tie uuteen päivään). At the close of voting, it had received 65 points, placing 17th in a field of 18. The relatively high score for such a low finish is due to the voting structure in place at the time, where each entrant was effectively guaranteed 34 points.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1972 Contest by Grethe & Benny with Småting.
