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 Since then, bass player Persi Iveland has been replaced by Aslak Dørum, who now is the song-writer alongside rock legend and guitarist Kjartan Kristiansen.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

Metallic Hvit
DumDum Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ville hester under hatten
glatt rustfri pels
som kan varme hvemsomhelst
zikzak mens jeg detonerer sakte
det koker på kjøkkenet i helvetet
Metallic hvit
metallic hvit
svirrer hit og dit
metallic hvit
Jeg er autopilot
jeg er levende skyts
bagatellene må vike for pur lyst
danser uten sko på kjølig marmor
lar meg friste uten å stritte i mot
Metallic hvit
uknuselig panserbeat
metallic hvit
svirrer hit og dit
metallic hvit
Metallic hvit
uknuselig panserbeat
metallic hvit
svirrer hit og dit
metallic hvit
Det er en fet natt
enveis seilas som koster alt
tiden renner ut på dass
i fin hvit sand
full tank kan ikke stole på noen
er ikke helt safe
før jeg ligger i graven
Metallic hvit
uknuselig panserbeat
metallic hvit
svirrer hit og dit
metallic hvit

The song Metallic Hvit by the Norwegian band DumDum Boys is a description of a night of detachment, reckless living, and a feeling of being invincible. The lyrics start with an image of horses under a hat with a smooth, stainless fur that can warm anyone, possibly symbolizing a false sense of security. The singer is detonating slowly while zigzagging, which suggests a feeling of being disoriented or lost. The description of the kitchen boiling in hell emphasizes the chaotic feeling of the situation.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of invincibility with the repeated phrase "metallic hvit," which means metallic white, referring to a car with an unbreakable body. The singer feels like he's on autopilot, living ammunition where small details must be disregarded for the thrill of it. The singer dances without shoes on cool marble, demonstrating his disregard for conventions and traditions. The phrase "lett å friste, tung å motstå" translates to "easy to tempt, hard to resist." This line displays how tempting the enticements are and how it feels like it's harder to resist them than it should be.
The last verse hints at the price of living this type of lifestyle, with figurative references like time running out and the need to be in a grave before being safe. The overall meaning is a portrayal of a reckless lifestyle and how glamourous it can seem, while still acknowledging the price it pays.
