Aftenens Yndlingspublikummer
Ørkenens Sønner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du har øjne som en ung viril drommedar
Når du sidder der og klapper
Mens du sidedamen napper
Du er en værre end
Stenermand
Du er hvor store idol
Hvorfor sidder du der
Du burde have dig en liggestol
Før vi kysser dig
The lyrics to Ørkenens Sønner's song Aftenens Yndlingspublikummer tell the story of a man named Stenermand who is the evening's favorite audience member at a bar. The lyrics describe Stenermand's striking eyes and his behavior of clapping while the lady next to him tugs on his sleeve. The lyrics also suggest that Stenermand is an idol of sorts, but questions why he is sitting when he should be reclining in a lounge chair before he is given a kiss.
Overall, the song seems to be poking fun at the idea of celebrity and popularity, as Stenermand is only popular for his appearance and behavior, rather than any actual talent or achievement. The lyrics suggest that being idolized is not all it's cracked up to be, and that even those who are popular must eventually come down from their pedestal.
