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 Since then, bass player Persi Iveland has been replaced by Aslak Dørum, who now is the song-writer alongside rock legend and guitarist Kjartan Kristiansen.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.

Hud & Hår
DumDum Boys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

lær
hun bærer det som silke
glider over teppet
og teppet nyter det
hun lyser
fyller hele rommet
jeg skjelver lett
før jeg vet kommer

kaster remmer & tøy
madrassen er en øde øy
vi sanker frukter og spiser
mellom dine lår er jeg
din med hud & hår

suger
suger på fingre & tær
jeg vil ha henne
som hun er
jeg vil ikke sove
ser på at hun grer håret sitt
hvisker stygge ting i øret mitt
hun holder det hun lover

hyler
imiterer dyr
lager lyder som har vært her
mye lengre enn vi har
kryper
lever livet på alle fire
jeg ser noen tenner hører deg knurre

kaster remmer & tøy
madrassen er en øde øy
vi sanker frukter og spiser
mellom dine lår er jeg
din med hud & hår

jeg vil ikke sove
ser på at hun grer håret sitt

hvisker stygge ting i øret mitt
hun holder det hun lover

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dumdum Boys's song Hud & hår describe a deeply intimate and passionate encounter between two lovers. The singer describes his partner as carrying herself like silk and illuminating the entire room. He is overcome with a mixture of excitement and fear, as he gives himself over completely to their physical connection. They explore each other's bodies with abandon, enjoying the freedom and intensity of their mutual attraction.

The song's lyrics evoke a sense of wild abandon and uninhibited pleasure. The lovers are depicted as being lost in the moment, with nothing else existing beyond the boundaries of their bed. They devour each other like ripe fruit, exploring every inch of each other's bodies with an almost savage intensity. The singer clearly relishes every moment of their encounter, basking in the afterglow of their shared pleasure.
