This song is my latest obsession. Damn you, iTunes for not allowing me to purchase Norwegian music! You would be making a fortune off me right now!
Most awesome part? The rapping! Because nothing says "I come from the streets" like a Norwegian rapper!
I'm trying to memorize all the lyrics in Norwegian, but having absolutely no background whatsoever in that language, I've only managed to get the chorus so far.
Great, now that'll be stuck in my head ;)
From what I can make out from the on-screen text (not that I know a word of Norwegian, but it bears some similarity to German) that song was a fundraiser for SE Asian flood relief (?the tsunami) done by various Norwegian artists "like the effort for the 1985 Ethiopian famine," so you'd think they'd want to find a way to allow international purchases and thus raise more funds.
Yeah! I thought it had a kind of "We Are the World" feel to it. I think iTunes and the music industry makes a huge mistake by only allowing music purchases from one's own country.
I want to live in Norway because they have kick-ass health insurance and cold weather.
But you can have kick-ass health insurance in America. Oh, wait, this isn't my blog.
Norway is cool, although I got robbed in Oslo, and had my life threatened. That's okay because the police station was closed when I went to report it.
