Script error: No such module "Lang". 1983 was the selection for the 23rd song to represent Template:Esccnty at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the 22nd time that this system of picking a song had been used. 90 songs were submitted to Script error: No such module "Lang". (SVT) for the competition. The final was held in the Palladium in Malmö on 26 February 1983, presented by Bibi Johns and was broadcast on TV1 but was not broadcast on radio.
"Script error: No such module "Lang"." was the first entry ever to get maximum points from all of the eleven juries, prompting the presenter to say before the final votes were announced: "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (This isn't at all exciting!). It was performed by the 17-year-old –and then unknown– Carola Häggkvist, who quickly went on to be one of Sweden's most popular singers. The song was written by Lasse Holm and Monica Forsberg, who had also written the previous winning song together.
