A sure sign that spring is right around the corner is that I will develop an urge to listen to deLillos.

I remember watching this on Youtube with a friend back in elementary school. Back then the Ylvis brothers were allready well known in Norway, But I don't think anyone had any idea about what kind of success they would end with now about a decade later.

This song still amuses me greatly :) I remember how me and my old school-friend watched it over and over. (just like how we watched Robin Hood:Men in Tights and Grease about once or twice a week)

I've never been a Jahn Teigen fan. Like most other norwegians I have heard many of his songs, but I have never actually really listened to his music.
However I have to say; I think "Utkledd som meg selv" is a great song! I could not find the original, as Youtube would not cooperate with me on that, but Tiril Heide Steen does a good job with it. :)

"Utkledd som meg selv" = "Dressed up as myself"

The refrain goes somethings like:

"I have tried to resemble others
But without much luck
Therefore I have begun
To be dressed up as myself"

I think that's worth remembering :)

This song popped into my head while I was on my way to work here the other day. I have not listened to it for ages. I can't claim to be a huge Beautiful South fan, and don't know much about the band, but I do like many of their songs. Such as Don't Marry Her, Manchester, Perfect 10, Little Time, Song For Whoever, Rotterdam, Dream A Little Dream and Prettiest Eyes.

I really like this one, Sail This Ship Alone, quite a lot. It's sad and melancholic, yet somehow strangely soothing to listen too. At least that's how I feel.

And the fangirly part of me might get some weird thoughts about some kind of fight between Sabeltann and Langemann..

Also!! All I had was a small part of the melody and the word "hagestoler" (garden chairs) and then use that word to find the song! I had not expected my search to be successful, but I got it!



A proper happy norwegian summer song :) (I'm almost sure Postgirobygget has some kind of monopoly on making norwegian summer songs)
