In the Eurovision Song Contest of 1982 he represented his country with the entry "Nuku pommiin" (Oversleep!), a rock song with music by Jim Pembroke and lyrics by Juice Leskinen; the conductor was Ossi Runne. The song performed in Finnish was a protest against nuclear bombs and the danger of a nuclear war in Europe (the Cold War was still under way in 1982). The song received no points ("nul points"). Despite this poor result, Kojo continued his career in his native country.
