A popular television figure in DR´s childrens television series "Skæg med tal" (fun with numbers) and "Skæg med bogstaver" (fun with letters) - originally a swedish concept.

In 2011 he released "Hr. Skægs store drømme" with assistance from Toke Reunert - that focuses on questions and dreams.

Hr. Skæg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
at de næsten er forbudt
Knap er de kommet ud af munden
før man har fortrudt
De er nemme nok at lære
det er ikke særlig slemt
Det slemme er desværre
at man aldrig får dem glemt.

Og nogle bruger dem så tit
at de blir' helt normale
Men har du klemt dine fingre
og er Verden dum og ond
Så må du ikke bande, men du har
en gyldig grund.

The Hr. Skæg song "Bandeordssangen" addresses the issue of the power of words and the societal taboo around using curse words. The opening lines of the song suggest that there are certain words that are so "ugly" that they are almost forbidden. The regret that often follows immediately after uttering such words is also highlighted. While the song admits that these words are easy to learn, the main issue is that one can never forget them. The lyrics go on to suggest that people typically use swear words when they are angry or upset, and some individuals use them so often that it becomes a normal part of their vocabulary.
