More music, now, this time a duo that mainly made children’s records, though with the odd forage into the world of adults. They’ve split now, after some messy financial quarreling, which is quite sad, but the records live on.
I am talking about Knutsen & Ludvigsen. A lot of children’s songs have zany lyrics, of course, but I think it might be hard to beat this pair. The original concept was that these two guys lived inside a tunnel, and one of the most popular songs is about a badger that accidentally sticks his head through their ceiling.
Vi har en grevling i taket,
greveling, grevelang,
vi har en grevling i taket, grevelang.
Vi har ikke ellediller eller krokofanter,
men vi har en grevling i taket.
(We have a badger in the ceiling,
badgering, badgerang,
we have a badger in the ceiling, badgerang.
We have no elediles or crocophants,
but we’ve got a badger in the ceiling.)
See what I mean.
One of their other songs, incidentally, deals with ‘matpakker‘. K&L do not appreciate them as they ought, their complaint, mostly, is that the different slices of bread and spread get mixed up.
