"Dansevise" was composed by Otto Francker with Danish lyrics by Sejr Volmer-Sørensen and recorded by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann.

[1] On 24 February 1963, "Dansevise" performed by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann competed in the 7th edition of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, winning the competition.

Grethe, accompanied by Jørgen Ingmann on guitar, performed "Dansevise" eighth on the evening, following Finland's "Muistojeni laulu" by Laila Halme and preceding Yugoslavia's "Brodovi" by Vice Vukov.

Danish hip-hop band Outlandish sampled the song in their track "Kom igen" which is featured in the game FIFA 07.
