1. One Two* were a Danish pop/rock duo formed in 1985 featuring Nina Forsberg and Cæcilie Norby. The group formally existed right up to 1993 (although both artists still tour together to this day) and recorded three albums: One Two (1986), Hvide Løgne (1990), and Getting Better (1993), which sold approximately 250,000 copies in Denmark alone.

One Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
iskold, alene med gearet
I klunset holder han stilen
men er nul og en pind på papiret.
I drømmene der spiller han trommer
sangerinden er vild med hans øjne
Og i et langt ekstranummer
danser de tæt splitternøgne
Døren går op, tonen bli'r roadierå
Mens bilen tømmes, går drømmen i stå
Lille Billy Boy
med på tur for allerførste gang
Stakkels Billy Boy
lokket af sirenernes sang
Billy sidder klar i kulissen
venter på noget der vælter
Drømmene forsvinder i slidsen
på sangerens kjole som smelter
I sidste sæt, bli'r tonerne rå
Bilen bli'r læsset, mens hun kigger på
Lille Billy Boy
med på tur for allerførste gang
Stakkels Billy Boy
lokket af sirenernes sang
Døren går op, tonen bli'r roadierå
Mens bilen lænses, går drømmen i stå
Lille Billy Boy
med på tur for allerførste gang
Stakkels Billy Boy
lokket af sirenernes sang
Lille Billy Boy
med på tur for allerførste gang
Stakkels Billy Boy
lokket af sirenernes sang
The song "Billy Boy" tells the story of a young man named Billy who is taking his first tour in the music industry. He is sitting in the back of the car, feeling cold and alone with only his gear to keep him company. Even though he is not a successful musician yet, he still has dreams about being on stage and playing the drums while the singer falls in love with his eyes. In his dreams, they dance together naked, but in reality, he is just a nobody on paper.
As the car arrives at the venue, the dream stops and reality begins. Billy is still waiting in the wings, hoping that something amazing will happen, but nothing does. He watches as the band sets up and the sound check starts. When the show begins, he is left behind, watching from the sidelines as the singer wears a dress that swallows up his dreams. As the show comes to an end, they pack up and leave, leaving Billy feeling lost and alone once again.
The lyrics of this song speak to the feelings of isolation and helplessness that many young people feel as they try to pursue their dreams. Even though Billy wants to be a successful musician, he is still struggling to find his place in the world. The song offers a message of hope for those who are just starting out, reminding them that success doesn't come overnight, and that it's important to keep dreaming and working hard.
