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 ↴
When the moonlight's gone
When seductive rhythms
Of the storm die down
When the white wild horses
Are laying down to rest
When your mind is sober
And I'm getting dressed
Will you still kiss my neck?
My dear, my dear
Will you dance when I ask?
My dear, my dear
Will you walk out ahead?
My dear, my dear, my dear
Or will you stay in bed?
When the house is crowded
When you've got no space
When the baby's crying
When I've pulled my ace
Will you still kiss my neck?
My dear, my dear
Will you dance when I ask?
My dear, my dear
Will you walk out ahead?
My dear, my dear, my dear
Or will you stay in bed?
When my white face withers
When my skin turns gray
When the drama's over
Then will you still stay?
Will you still kiss my neck?
My dear, my dear
Will you dance when I ask?
My dear, my dear
Will you walk out ahead?
My dear, my dear, my dear
Or will you stay in bed?
Will you stay in bed?
Will you stay in bed?
Will you stay in bed
The song My Dear by the Norwegian band Katzenjammer is a melancholic love song that speaks to the vulnerability and fears associated with being in a committed relationship. The lyrics start by describing a peaceful and sober moment, after a night of wild passion, where the singer is getting dressed and wondering if her lover will still love her in the light of day. She questions whether he will still dance with her, walk with her, and most importantly, whether he will still kiss her neck. This is a metaphor for the physical and emotional intimacy that exists between them, which she wants to ensure will still be present even after the initial lust and excitement has faded.
As the song progresses, the lyrics speak to the challenges that can arise in any relationship. The mention of the house being crowded and the baby crying speaks to the day-to-day struggles that couples can face, and the singer wants to know if her lover will still be there for her even when things get tough. The final verse speaks to the fear of growing old and dying, and whether her lover will still stay by her side even when she is no longer young and beautiful.
Overall, the song My Dear by Katzenjammer manages to capture the mixture of emotions that can exist in a long-term relationship, from fear and vulnerability to enduring love and trust. The lyrics and melody create a haunting and beautiful atmosphere that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended.

When the night is over
When our time together comes to an end
When the moonlight's gone
When the ambiance that set the mood for us disappears
When seductive rhythms
When the captivating melodies that mesmerized us stop
Of the storm die down
When the chaos and intensity of our passion fizzles out
When the white wild horses
When our imaginations and passions are no longer wild and free
Are laying down to rest
When our passion is no longer as intense
When your mind is sober
When you are no longer swept away by the moment and have regained your senses
And I'm getting dressed
When I'm preparing to leave
Will you still kiss my neck?
Will you still desire me and show me affection?
My dear, my dear
Addressing the person with affection
Will you dance when I ask?
Will you still engage with me and enjoy my company?
Will you walk out ahead?
Will you continue to lead and support us?
Or will you stay in bed?
Or will you choose to stay behind and give up on us?
When the house is crowded
When we are surrounded by others
When you've got no space
When you have no room to move or breathe
When the baby's crying
When we are burdened with responsibilities and complications
When I've pulled my ace
When I have done everything in my power to make things work
When my white face withers
When I have aged and lost my youthful appearance
When my skin turns gray
When my health and vitality fade away
When the drama's over
When the excitement and passion has died down
Then will you still stay?
Are you committed to me for more than just the moments of passion and excitement?
Will you stay in bed?
Are you willing to work through the difficult times and not give up on us?
Will you stay in bed?
Are you willing to choose us and prioritize our relationship over other things?
Will you stay in bed?
Will you stay by my side through thick and thin?

"Slo de Dem" i vers 6 må skrives "Slo De Dem", altså med stor forbokstav også i "De". Egners vise bruker høflig tiltaleform, og de skrives ( – ble skrevet) med stor forbokstav.
