I adored "Take on me" when it came out. I figured Morten Harket was about the sexiest man alive, and the
video was extremely innovative and cool for its time. But that was 30 years ago, and I have had plenty of time
to wait for a new hit.
But thank you for reminding me. I had not seen it in a while. :-)

In the meantime, Margaret Berger gets signed in the US:
Korleis likar du Margaret, Solfrid? ;)

What if I'll say that I like Adelén? [Ok, I only like "Bombo", not the second single].
P.S. And she's only sixteen! Impossible.

@medulin: Her name did not ring any bells, but when I looked her up I vaguely remembered having seen her
before. She sounds nice :-)
@prz: I am a huge fan of Alexander Rybak, but since he was born in Belorussia I feel a little guilty for taking
credit for his music on behalf of Norway. He has been really big though. In Ukraine I watched a show which
sole purpose was to find his double, and I guess half the population of Europe would recognize his song.
Madcon has also had a lot of attention, and I like their music too.

It would be better if the lyrics were Norwegian.

For the benefit of Solfrid Cristina, and anyone else who likes this song and studies Russian, Komsomolskaya Pravda has gently provided a Russian translation of The Fox (scroll down the page).

This just came up in my YouTube recommended videos and the combination of the title and the thumbnail made me question my sanity for a second. Ylvis singing a Kazakh song? WTF?! Turns out it's in Russian with a few Kyrgyz words, but still pretty impressive, and the story behind the video's creation is hilarious.
