it's a song about a eartworm Kurt and other things

Jeg kender en-dianer
Der bor paa oesterbro
Og der er fler' end du aner
Og de gaar rundt i sko
Ikke i mokkasiner
Som man skulle tro
Nej de gr rundt og ligner
Folk paa oesterbro
Ve' sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem ...
Ve sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem
Ve' sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem ...
Ve sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem
Ve' sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem ...
Ve sku snart ikke, hvem der er hvem
Nej, jeg ve' sku ikke, hvem der er hvem, der er hvem
Hvis du spoerger om klokken
Og faar en paa gokken
Saa har du spurgt en dansker
Een med boksehandsker
Men spr du en-dianer
Saa sir han: I don't care, man
Jeg er den sidste amerikaner
Hoer nu bare her
De kommer naer
Ka' I s la' vr'
Og gaa med bare tae'r
Og nu slr de sig ned p den venstre bred
Og fyrer en fed og sir…

OR
See that you get going and take the goat with you
Se at kom' afsted og ta' geden med
And cunning foot and earthworm Kurt
Og listende fod og regnormen Kurt

They dance a rain dance, it goes like clockwork
De danser en regndans, det gaar som smurt

It looks down, and it continues
Det ser ned, og det blir ved

I get wet, and buy a bd
Jeg blir sku vaad, og koeber en bd

A Noah's ark, in the middle of a park
En Noahs ark, midt i en park

Goodbye and thank you, it's strong tobacco
Farvel og tak, det' staerk tobak



I have the hit collection, my wife has the entire output. The CD also has..

Life's Sausage (aka Ballad of John and Yoko)



INCLUDING
The lights are turned on in Tokyo, Paris closes the shutters

But over in Thailand, there stands a roadman

And puts life at stake

He is digging sewers

And suddenly he falls in
...
..
The sausage of life is spiced
Livets pølse er speget

Add some jam.
Kom lidt syltetøj på.
The sausage of life is spiced
Livets pølse er speget

SING ALONG
Lysene tændes i Tokyo, Paris lukker skodderne til
Men ovre i Thailand, står der en vejmand
Og sætter livet på spil
Han står og graver kloakker
Og pludselig falder han i
Så råber hans makker:
"Iwoiouiwuiou".
Lysene slukkes i Tokyo, og solen står op på Parnas
Og midt i Torino, står en albino
I skyggen og ta'r et par glas
Men hans liv er i fare
Ja, om lidt er han væk
Han lod sig narre
Og drak usynligt blæk.
Men sådan er der jo så meget
Livets pølse er speget
Odin og Thor, sidder og glor
Og danser tuttifrutti hele natten.
Mosekonen brygger i Tokyo, og tågerne lammer Paris
Nok en albino, bli'r født i Torino
Og et thaibarn får et par ris
Ak ja, der sker jo så meget
Det ka' vær' svært at forstå
Livets pølse er speget
Kom lidt syltetøj på.
Men sådan er der jo så meget…

RIP Michael Bundesen of Shu Bi Dua this November. Singer of the band last 40 years

In English

Was it a

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

doberman?

Oh yeah!



58 minute documentary: nothing was too crazy for them on stage, including adult diapers. They also had the first pop record anywhere with sounds of urinating, demonstrating the Danish Man.

I watched nearly the whole thing. I only understood about 60% of it, but I got some bits 2 minutes at a time completely. I would understand about 80% in Swedish.

Enjoy Danish chicks at the beach. But the songs is about herring



A spoof of Killing Me Softly, here a song about chicken and soft ice cream

[rainbow]

[Tero]

Bundesen sometime around 2010 still a charismatic performer at 60. He was out of the band 4 years and the music people labeled the new Bundesen-less Shu Bi Dua as the "castrati" version. None of the band could sing at his low range.



somewhat autobiographical lyrics

Who do you think you are before you become
Hvem mon man er før man bli'r til

A shooting star - a puzzle
Et stjerneskud - et puslespil

A cod - a carrot
En tanketorsk - en gulerod

One must for the fa'en have been no'ed
Man må for fa'en ha' været no'ed
Mother's bosom was red and white
Moders barm var rød og hvid

To my father she said: slip
Til min far sagde hun: glid

We were a huge bunch of kids
Vi var en kæmpe børneflok

And there was never enough money
Og der var aldrig penge nok
Eight years then I was ready
Otte år så var jeg klar

To go to the coffee shop
Til at gå på kaffebar

My back looked like striped pork
Min ryg så ud som strivret flæsk

For today's dish was dry beatings
For dagens ret var tørre tæsk

I grew - and went nuts
Jeg voksed - og koksed

I found a place in the sun
Jeg fandt en plads i solen

In school, I learned to write you in capital letters
I skolen lærte jeg at skrive De med stort
But I could never become anything
Men jeg ku' aldrig bli' til no'ed

Despite my large vocabulary
Trods mit store ordforråd

Standing in line on the path of life
Stod i kø på livets vej

While others overtook me
Mens andre overhalede mig
I grew - and coked
Jeg voksed - og koksed

I found my place in the shade
Jeg fandt min plads i skyggen

With your back to the wall
Med ryggen op mod muren

Why I was born
Hvorfor blev jeg født
And what happens when you go away
Og hvad mon der sker når man skal bort

When life's shirt gets too short
Når livets skjorte bli'r for kort

How is it the common thread
Hvor mon den er den røde tråd

One must "for fan"(the devil, damn it) become something
Man må for fa'en da blive til no'ed

[Tero]

The phrase about the shirt got incorporated into Danish culture: life is like a child's shirt, short and shitty.

Got into a debate with a Ratz on FB about Genesis. He claimed Lamb is the best album. But it has no Supper's Ready! Actually my favorite is Selling England By The Pound


Favorite line:
Feel your body melt
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office
You're all full of ball
Dad to dam to dumb to mum
**Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing**
You're all full of ball

I think Zappa was having trouble with sewers and then plumbers. Rock trivia: name the Dylan imitator in the song. Complete with harmonica! As a reward we will post a cool video of him.

[Tero]

We have a winner, TOM, on Facebook. You all get Dinosaur. Interesting old man hair. Unknown tapping dude does the solo.
