1) Kim Larsen (Kim Melius Flyvholm Larsen, Copenhagen, Denmark, 23 October 1945 - 30 September 2018) was a Danish rock singer, guitarist and songwriter, known for his solo career as well as being the lead singer of Gasolin'.
Inspired by The Beatles and rock'n'roll, Kim Larsen began writing songs and playing guitar. In 1969 he met Franz Beckerlee and Willi Jønsson. The three of them founded Gasolin' and were later joined by drummer Søren Berlev.
After Gasolin' released their second album, Kim Larsen left the band due to creative differences, but he was quickly convinced to rejoin the band again. In 1973, prior to Gasolin' releasing their third album, Larsen recorded his first solo album, Værsgo. Another followed in 1978, when Gasolin' disbanded. That same year he released a live album, Vogt dem for efterligninger, under the name Starfuckers (together with Stig Møller).
Larsen released several records under his own name in the early and mid 80s, most notably Midt om natten. In 1986 he founded a new band Kim Larsen & Bellami. The band released four albums up until 1992, when they disbanded again. Larsen then recorded another solo album, Hvem kan sige nej til en engel, before he moved to Odense in 1995 and found more success with his new band Kim Larsen & Kjukken. The band continues to record and perform live to this day and they released their latest studio album, Gammel Hankat, in 2006.
For almost four decades, Kim Larsen has had a number of successful album releases as a solo artist and is one of the most influential and popular artists in Danish popular music history. He remains a top concert draw in Scandinavia and his 1983 album Midt Om Natten is the most sold album in Denmark with more than 532,000 copies shipped (as of 2010). As a solo artist Kim Larsen has sold approximately 3 million records, an exceptional feat for an artist recording in Danish.
2) Kim Larsen is one of Denmark's leading underground figures, best known for his work with doom metal band Saturnus and his solo folk-noir project Of the Wand and the Moon. He has also issued records under the Solanaceae and The Loveless banners, and is a member of and lyricist in the band Black Wreath.
Lille Pige
Kim Larsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Min lille slemme pige
Hva søren ska jeg gøre
Hun gør mig skør
Hun er en prinsesse
Der tar hva hun ka få
Hun gør sig ingen illusioner
Hun er min lille pige ...
Når vi ska ud
Så drikker hun sig fuld
Og flirter med de andre
Hvis tårer var af guld
Når jeg vil hjem
Så siger hun nej nej
Jeg har det lige så dejligt
Farvel med dig
Hun er min lille pige ...
Hun går sent i seng
Og ligger meget længe
Hun tømmer mine lommer
For mine allersidste penge
Og når jeg så
Har fået mer end nok
Så tigger hun om nåde
Hva ska man stille op?
Hun er min lille pige
Min lille slemme pige
Hva søren ska jeg gøre
Hun gør mig skør
The song "Lille Pige" by Kim Larsen is about a man's frustration and confusion in dealing with his troublesome girlfriend or daughter. The lyrics convey the singer's concern for the girl and his frustration with her self-destructive behavior. The girl in question is described as a princess who takes what she wants and cares little for the consequences or illusions. The singer struggles to understand and care for her, but she seems to be intent on causing trouble and pushing boundaries. The refrain of "Hun er min lille pige, min lille slemme pige, hvad søren skal jeg gøre, hun gør mig skør" (She is my little girl, my little naughty girl, what the hell should I do, she drives me crazy) emphasizes the singer's sense of hopelessness and frustration.
Throughout the song, the girl's behavior is depicted as impulsive and self-destructive. She drinks excessively, flirts with others, spends money recklessly, and refuses to go home. The singer appears to be torn between his love and concern for the girl and his exasperation with her behavior. The final lines of the song illustrate this conflict: "And when I've had enough, she begs for mercy, what can one do? She is my little girl, my little naughty girl, what the hell should I do, she drives me crazy."
Overall, "Lille Pige" is a poignant and empathetic portrayal of a difficult relationship. The singer's frustration and concern are palpable, and the lyrics capture the complexity and challenges of caring for someone who seems intent on causing trouble.
