Video Video was the Danish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 in Harrogate performed by the band Brixx.
The song is in praise of the then-new technology of video recorders, with the singer describing the wealth of viewing he has on tape — everything from Humphrey Bogart to Wimbledon. Indeed, he remarks that "Susanne" (possibly a lover) has left him because all that TV has made her (Susanne) "raving mad" and that he (the singer) is "not all normal".
It was performed 13th on the night following Spain and preceding Yugoslavia. At the close of voting, it finished in 17th place with 5 points.

Når regnen bare siler ned
Så har jeg tændt for colorTV’et
Humphrey Bogart og Björn fra Wimbledon
Jeg har det hele på videobånd
Susanne rejste hjem i går
Hjem til sin mor i Klampenborg
Alt det TV har gjort hend’ splittergal
Hun si’r jeg ikke er helt normal
Video, video (Video), den kører nat og dag
Video, video (Video), når jeg ska’ slappe af
Bar’ et tryk på knappen, ja, så’ der gang i kassen
(Åh…) Jeg er videoman
Min’ venner syn’s det går for vidt
Bar’ sid’ og glo på alt det skidt
Men jeg’ da ligeglad, for mig er det bar’ sagen
At se på video hele dagen
Ja, det er
Video, video (Video), den kører nat og dag
Video, video (Video), når jeg ska’ slappe af
Bar’ tryk på knappen, så’ der gang i kassen
(Åh…) Jeg er videoman
Video… åh video…
Video, video (Video), den kører nat og dag
Video, video (Video), når jeg ska’ slappe af
Bar’ tryk på knappen, så’ der gang i kassen
(Åh…) Jeg er video… (åh…) jeg er video…
(Åh…) Jeg er videoman
When the rain’s just pouring down
Then I’ve turned on the colour TV
Humphrey Bogart and Björn from Wimbledon
I’ve got it all on video tape
Susanne went home yesterday
Home to her mother in Klampenborg
All that TV has made her raving mad
She says I’m not all normal
Video, video (Video), it’s rolling night and day
Video, video (Video), when I need to relax
Just press the button, then the box is running
(Oh…) I’m a video addict
My friends think it’s gone too far
Just sitting, staring at all that junk
But I don’t care, for me it’s just the thing
To watch video all day long
Yes, it is
Video, video (Video), it’s rolling night and day
Video, video (Video), when I need to relax
Just press the button, then the box is running
(Oh…) I’m a video addict
Video… oh video…
Video, video (Video), it’s rolling night and day
Video, video (Video), when I need to relax
Just press the button, then the box is running
(Oh…) I’m a video… (oh…) I’m a video…
(Oh…) I’m a video addict
