Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964
Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 with the song "Man gewöhnt sich so schnell an das Schöne", composed by Rudi von der Dovenmühle, with lyrics by Niels Nobach, and performed by Nora Nova. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Hessischer Rundfunk (HR), selected its entry through a national final. "Man gewöhnt sich so schnell an das Schöne" held the joint record for the longest ever song title in a Eurovision final alongside "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison" which represented France at the 1991 contest until both were succeeded by "The Social Network Song (Oh Oh - Uh - Oh Oh)" which represented San Marino at the 2012 contest.
