Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 with the song "Sing Sang Song", composed by Ralph Siegel, with lyrics by Kurt Hertha, and performed by Les Humphries Singers. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Hessischer Rundfunk (HR), organised the national final Ein Lied für Den Haag in order to select its entry for the contest. The national final was won by the song "Der Star" performed by Tony Marshall, but it was disqualified later. "Sing Sang Song", that originally was the runner-up, was promoted and announced as the German entry for Eurovision.
