First of all; apologies for the long wait. Frankly, we’ve been busy. To make it up, we promise to have more material out before christmas.
As you may gather from the title,
Cross Country Skiing
is a season oriented tune, describing the pleasures and leisures of nordic winter. Notice the steady, rockin’ drumbeat – that’s the old Boss hitting it. Jørgen’s passionate vocals on the bridge were inspired by Peter Hammill, and the hasty synth run was yours truly pretending to be Roy Wood – the wizzard.
Cross country skiing in the morning sun,
all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.
I used to look inside the mirror,
now the mirror looks at him.
Cross country skiing in the morning sun,
all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.
I careth not from where thou cameth
bearing ski wax in thy hand,
sliding naked down the glacier,
it’s the laying of the land.
Cross country skiing in the morning sun,
all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.
Gleder meg til påske, gleder meg til påske, gleder meg til påske! Kvikk Lunsj i ryggsekken og Ping på iPoden.
Litt sånn homo undertoner i teksten…ikkje sant?
sliding naked down the glacier,
all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun…
Ein slags hyllest til Freddy Mercury og Blomstar Finn på skitur…eller tar eg helt feil?
Må være Ping på påsketur i minusgrader. Ser ut som neste års påsketur får en ny vri.
Det var opprinnelig et vers med strofen: When you’re done you get a hot dog in the bun. Sier ikke mer.
