[Music: Dag Ingebrigtsen, Lyrics: Dag Ingebrigtsen & Gustav Alfheim]

Har du ventet lenge på at noe skulle skje
Ble du glad da du så plakaten på hjørnet
Sprang du ned til byen og kjøpte deg billett
Fikk du første rad , eller ble det felt c
Satt du sammen gjengen , tømte en kasse booze
Sjanglet dere til salen i en herlig rus

Showet er i gang
Natten skal bli lang
Gang på gang på gang
(og) hele salen sang:
Showet er i gang

Står du foran scenen , vil du følge med
Eller sitter du bak for og se på damer




Er du varm og fuktig , eller kald som is
Hvis det er for høyt kan du snu og gå

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Showet Er I Gang by TNT are about the excitement of going to a show, waiting for something to happen, and finally being able to attend it. The song begins by questioning if the listener had been waiting for a long time for something to happen, and then being excited upon seeing a poster for a show on the street corner. The individual then rushes to the city to buy tickets, wondering if they would get a seat in the front row or be relegated to the back seats. The song touches upon the feeling of camaraderie at a concert, where the listener can hang out with friends, share a crate of booze, and make their way into the hall in a happy stupor.


As the show begins, the anticipation builds up, and the whole concert hall is ready for a great night. The chorus of the song emphasizes the excitement throughout the whole night, with the whole room singing along to let each other know that the show is in full swing. The second verse emphasizes the importance of being in the front row, among the people who want to be as closely involved in the show as possible. The lyrics also address people who sit at the back and look at women, highlighting that the concert is about embracing the music and the atmosphere, rather than indulging in other distractions. The song concludes with a reminder that if the music is too loud, the listener can always leave.

Does this sound like Accept. It is so different from Knights of The New Thunder, which is true viking/victory metal.
