Nuku pommiin (English translation: "Oversleep", literally "Bombs out!") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, performed in Finnish by Kojo.
The song was performed sixth on the night (after Turkey's Neco with Hani? and before Switzerland's Arlette Zola with Amour On T'Aime). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 18th (last) in a field of 18.

The song suggests that sleeping through a nuclear crisis ("If someone soon throws a nuclear poo here on our Europe") is the best way of avoiding it. Oversleeping is said to "calm you down", among other benefits.

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1983 Contest by Ami Aspelund with Fantasiaa.
