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 Since then, bass player Persi Iveland has been replaced by Aslak Dørum, who now is the song-writer alongside rock legend and guitarist Kjartan Kristiansen.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

Lagt igjen sludd
Ser solen går ned i svarthvitt
Gatene her har bare brente broer
I kveld blinker byen som et mareritt
Året så langt har vært bare myke pakker
Er redd det er for sent å ta det pent
Grenene hvisket jeg fikk som fortjent
Det er ikke alt jeg har sagt som er bull
Hadde jeg gods skulle du fått gull
For i natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
Alle snille barn er kjøpt og betalt
På skjermen har sjarmen gått tom
Gatens løse fugler er lagt under tre
Herberg er lagt ned så ingen har rom
Jeg trenger noen svar
Så jeg ringer en svarer
Stemmen lyder kjent
Så lenge det varer
I natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
I natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
I natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
I natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
I natt
Når snøen laver ned
Lager vi engler
Og vi er i himmelen
The lyrics of DumDum Boys' song "Stjernesludd" convey a sense of melancholy and introspection that is reflective of the cold, dark winter in Norway. The opening lines describe November and the "sludd" (sleet) that has been left behind, suggesting a start of the winter season. The imagery of the sun setting in black and white reinforces this sense of bleakness.
As the song continues, the atmosphere becomes increasingly desolate. The streets are described as having "bare brente broer" (only burnt bridges), and the city is compared to a nightmare. The singer is regretful about the past year, realizing that they have been living without considering the consequences of their actions. There is a sense of guilt conveyed through the line "Det er ikke alt jeg har sagt som er bull" (not everything I've said is bullshit), indicating that there have been missteps along the way.
Despite the melancholy tone, there is also a glimmer of hope woven into the lyrics. The repeated refrain of "I natt / Når snøen laver ned / Lager vi engler / Og vi er i himmelen" (Tonight, when the snow falls / We'll make angels / And we'll be in heaven) suggests an opportunity for happiness and redemption. Finding solace in small moments of joy (making snow angels) can help ease the burden of past mistakes.
Line by Line Meaning
November har vært her
November has arrived
Lagt igjen sludd
Left behind sleet
Ser solen går ned i svarthvitt
Watching the sun set in black and white
Gatene her har bare brente broer
The streets here only have burned bridges
I kveld blinker byen som et mareritt
Tonight the city flickers like a nightmare
Året så langt har vært bare myke pakker
So far, the year has only been soft packages
Er redd det er for sent å ta det pent
Afraid it's too late to take it easy
Glorien falmet før bladene falt
The halo faded before the leaves fell
Grenene hvisket jeg fikk som fortjent
The branches whispered I got what I deserved
Det er ikke alt jeg har sagt som er bull
Not everything I've said is bull
Hadde jeg gods skulle du fått gull
If I had riches, you'd get gold
For i natt
Because tonight
Når snøen laver ned
When the snow is falling heavily
Lager vi engler
We make angels
Og vi er i himmelen
And we're in heaven
Alle snille barn er kjøpt og betalt
All good children are bought and paid for
På skjermen har sjarmen gått tom
The charm on the screen has run out
Gatens løse fugler er lagt under tre
The loose birds of the street are under the tree
Herberg er lagt ned så ingen har rom
The inn has been shut down so no one has a room
Jeg trenger noen svar
I need some answers
Så jeg ringer en svarer
So I call an answering machine
Stemmen lyder kjent
The voice sounds familiar
Så lenge det varer
For as long as it lasts

English lyrics:
November has been here
And left slush
Watching the sun go down in black and white
The streets here only have burnt bridges
Tonight the city flashes like a nightmare
The year so far has been nothing but soft gifts
I'm afraid it's too late to take it nicely
The glory faded before the leaves fell
The branches whispered "I got what I deserved"
Not everything I've said is bull
If I had goods, you would get gold
Tonight
When the snow falls down
We make angels
And we are in heaven
All kind children are bought and paid for
On the screen, the charm has run out
The street's loose birds are placed under wood
The hostel is closed so no one has a room
I need some answers
So I call an answer
The voice sounds familiar
As long as it lasts
Tonight
When the snow falls
We make angels
And we are in heaven
Tonight
When the snow falls down
We make angels
We are in heaven
Tonight
The snow is falling down
We make angels
And we are in heaven

Hvorfor det? Kan du begrunne det? Jeg synes at drummeren gjorde en god jobb her. Resten er OK. Interresant versjon.
