1) A Norwegian rock band from Trondheim.
They started up in the late 1970s as a punk band under the name Wannskrækk. Wannskrækk released one of the most sought-after Norwegian punk seven inches called "Faen kuler treffer aldri riktig" in 1981, the year after the Wannskrækk 12" was released. Wannskrækk moved on and reinvented themselves with a new name and a somewhat new sound in 1985.
This shift invoked the beginning of one of the greatest success stories in Norwegian rock ever. The new name, DumDum Boys, was taken from a song on the album "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop. Their debut album, Blodig Alvor (na na na na na), is still regarded as one of the classic albums in Norwegian rock. The same is said for their following 1989 album, Splitter Pine. They are still the only band that have won "Spellemannsprisens Rock Category" (the Norwegian version of "Grammy Awards") three times in a row.
Third album Pstereo fulfilled the trilogy of award-winning LP's, including the two others mentioned above. The song "Splitter Pine" is one of the most well known rock-singles in the history of Norwegian rock. Since then, bass player Persi Iveland has been replaced by Aslak Dørum, who now is the song-writer alongside rock legend and guitarist Kjartan Kristiansen. Kristiansen is one of the most respected song-writers in Norway, especially because of his well written and important lyrics, sung by frontman Prepple Houmb. Sola Johnsen is still the drummer and has been that since the late 70's. He's released a solo-ep called "Verdens Beste Trommis" ("Worlds Greatest Drummer"), as a tribute to Led Zeppelin hero John Bonham.
After a seven year hiatus, they had a very successful tour in Norway during the summer of 2004. They went back into the studio in 2005 and released their critically acclaimed new album "Gravitasjon" in March 2006. "Gravitasjon" showed that DumDum Boys is still a band influenced by the punk rock scene.

DumDum Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fler av dem gir fanden så
Så jeg er ikke til å stole på
Vet ikke om jeg lyver nå
Skyggene danser med lydene
Vinden kommer med mer enn luft
Svart regn natt regn
Får mørket til å skinne
Satte små spor men
Er nå en gang lost
Månen gjør trutmunn
Er månen god på bunn
Månen gjør trutmunn
Hvem her er god på bunn
Semsket måneskinn
Trærne vinker til noen jeg ikke ser
Jeg vil røres ved
Vil kjøres i senk
Skritt for skritt for skritt
Kommer for å flå læret av deg
& finne det som er
Verdt å samle på
Ett av to er begge deler
Månen gjør trutmunn
Er månen god på bunn
Månen gjør trutmunn
Hvem her er god på bunn
Månen gjør trutmunn
Er månen god på bunn
Månen gjør trutmunn
Hvem her er god på bunn
Nå ser den gal gul & lur ut
Er månen god på bunn
Månen gjør trutmunn
Er månen god på bunn
The lyrics to Dumdum Boys's song God På Bunn reflects on the different senses that can be experienced and how some of them can lead to the devil's influence. The lyrics describe the uncertainty of truth and trust and the dance between shadows and sounds. The darkness shines through the black rain as yesterday fades away leaving only small traces of oneself. The song weaves in the theme of the moon, questioning whether it is good at the bottom, as it makes a pouty face. The moonlight illuminates the trees as they seem to wave at someone unseen. The singer desires a deep and meaningful connection and notes the duality of things, where one of two things can be both. The song ends with the moon appearing mad, sly, yellow, and cunning, prompting the question of whether it is truly good at the bottom.
