1. A folk group from Oslo, Norway
2. A British piano musical comedy duo
3. The original name of Kyuss
1) A folk group from Oslo, Norway. Mixing a variety of musical styles with multi-instrumentalism, the band consists of Anne Marit Bergheim, Sol Heilo, Marianne Sveen and Turid Jørgensen. Most of their material is written by their friend Mats Rybø; however, the band also contribute songs written by themselves. The band is easily recognizable by their signature custom Balalaika bass with the face of a cat painted on it, echoing the true meaning of the band's name: "Katzenjammer" is a German word for "cat's wail" (and also a dated term for "hangover.")
Katzenjammer was formed by the four girls in 2005. They came to prominence NRK's "Urørt" project; a platform for up-and-coming bands and artists to showcase their material and win national exposure. They were also contestants on "Kjempesjansen", a Norwegian talent show. With their unique sound and exceptional live shows, Katzenjammer slowly but surely gained a reputation as an act to watch. In 2007, they held a concert at Norwegian Wood, a famous Norwegian music festival, as part of their Underwood line-up. The band eventually scored an underground hit with "A Bar in Amsterdam" and made it as far as the finals in Urørt's "Artist of the Year" awards.
Early in 2008, Katzenjammer served as support acts for various other Norwegian bands including Kaizers Orchestra, who had openly supported the band. Throughout their career, they have often been referred to by the media as a female Kaizers Orchestra, as both bands are famous for their eclectic musical style and energetic live shows. They also made several TV appearances. In October of that year, they released their first studio album, Le Pop. The album received many good reviews and the subsequent tour helped build a fanbase. The album was released in international markets with an altered tracklist in 2009.
Their second studio album, A Kiss Before You Go, is scheduled for official release on 9 September 2011. In anticipation of the album, the singles "When the Laughter's Gone" and "I Will Dance (When I Walk Away)" were released earlier that year. Former band member Marianne Sveen left the band in the beginning of 2016.

Katzenjammer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything and anything is up to you
Everything all-day starts with a riddle
You can go left or right, down the middle
So take a little trip down road and see
What you gonna find, who you want to be
What you mind after pick between the three
Rock, paper, scissors
Which one is it? It's your decision
And no matter what you chose
You gonna live it
Rock, paper, scissors
Everybody want's to be happy, so
Take a look around, find a hang to hold
If you really want take a change like the weather
And no matter what you do it'll keep getting better
Everything you want that is who you are
You can be the sun and the moon and the stars
Or the bass or the drums or the lead guitar
Rock, paper, scissors
Which one is it? It's your decision
And no matter what you chose
You gonna live it
Rock, paper, scissors

The lyrics of Katzenjammer's song "Rock-Paper-Scissors" tell a message of personal freedom and self-determination. The song encourages listeners to take control of their lives, embrace the choices they make, and take chances to find their own happiness. The opening lines suggest that everything in life is up to the individual, and that the possibilities are limitless. The repeated refrain of "rock, paper, scissors" echoes this sentiment of choice, as the game represents a simple but decisive selection that can lead to many different outcomes.
The song also touches on the idea of identity and finding one's place in the world. The lyrics suggest that people can embody different aspects of themselves, whether it be the "sun and the moon and the stars" or different musical instruments, and that there is no right or wrong way to be. The message of the song is ultimately one of empowerment and individualism, with the repeated refrain emphasizing that no matter what is chosen, the individual will live with the consequences and should embrace their freedom to make their own choices.

I love how they incorporate all these different instruments into the band and they all learned and play them very skillfully; especially that Contra bass balailika. Very impressive bunch of women they are. Glad I finally found them. Great things really do happen by serendipity. :)

Wow, I love this video! Really well done. It's a shame we can't buy this music in the US, but I travel to Zurich for work sometimes and last time I was there I picked up both CDs. Brilliant stuff. You guys are super talented and your music makes me smile.

Just seen these lovely ladies live at the Bristol O2 Academy - all I can say is that it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to - they are all very talented and sing so beautifully together - all of you who are going to see them perform in the UK over the next week are in for a real treat - they are born performers
