There was a rumour that Lys Assia performed the song "Ein kleiner gold'ner Ring" (A Little Golden Ring) in the national final. However, this rumour turned out to be untrue as the singer has only remembered that she took part with a song of that title in a German music festival - it turned out that she actually competed with this song in the German Schlager Festival of 1961.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or final:
“I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
