@MsSue_ Indeed. It's from the Norsk Melodi Grand Prix. They do it every year to pick a song for the 'Contest that Can't be Mentioned'. This one from 1976 never got through (shame) but of course Jahn Teigen won it in 1978 and of course got famous for being the first person to ever get 'nil points' that year. But you know that already, being the fan that you are! :) He was knighted by the King Harald V for services to music in 2011. Hope you had a good holiday. Nice to have you back
I must confess that I've always had a soft spot for Jahn. Ever since he did this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PMp7ryL0Rk with Carola. Hearing he got knighted makes me kind of happy.

He's a comedian too. That explains everything.

@simonp Well it sure beats LLoyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera

@philipnareike agreed. But that's not much of an endorsement mind.

@Avante What a long medley! You can't deny their enthusiasm.
