Miss Decibel, written by Lasse Holm and Gert Lengstrand, is a song in Swedish, which finished 2nd at the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1978. It was performed by the Swedish "dansband" Wizex, back then including Kikki Danielsson as lead vocal singer, together with Lasse Holm.

Björn Skifs won that year's Melodifestivalen with the song "Det blir alltid värre framåt natten".

The song was covered by Eva Rydberg later in 1978, on her album "Sång á la Rydberg". In 1979, musician Nils Dacke recorded the song for his album "Nils Dacke spelar partyorgel".

In 2008 the song was performed at Dansbandskampen by Martinez.^[1]

Trivia

• The song text is about a little singing/screaming child. Instead of being angry, the parents see the child's screaming abilities as an opportunity to become a pop/rock star in the future.
• The chorus ends with English, including the words "Decibel, you gonna be a star".
