In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:
Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.
Den feite mannen
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
og sikler tilfeldig ikke av meg
Snakker om tippegevinster og de beste hestene
Den feite mannen tar en stor slurk og sier
Hva om du og jeg tok en tur til Køben sammen
Vi kunne hatt det fint der
Ingen snø der og mildt i været
Den feite mannen sier hva om du klippet deg litt
så kunne vi to dra på Rosekjelleren
Den feite mannen sier hva om du klippet deg litt
Så kunne vi hat det litt gøy
Så kommer vennene for å hente den feite mannen
Ikke mors beste engler eller mine favoritter
Og jeg blir sittende der
Ensom og forlatt og tenker hva nå
Hei du kan da ikke bare gå
Skulle ikke vi dra til Køben sammen
Hei du feite mann du kan da ikke bare gå
Skulle ikke vi dra på rosekjelleren
Og jeg glemmer nok aldri den feite mannen
Men han har glemt meg
Nei jeg glemmer nok aldri den feite mannen
Men han har glemt meg
The song "Den feite mannen" by deLillos tells the story of a young man who is approached by an older, overweight man who seems interested in him. This man talks about his gambling winnings and his love for horses, and suggests they take a trip to Copenhagen together. He also suggests the singer cut his hair and come with him to a place called Rosekjelleren for some fun.
As the conversation continues, the singer becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the feite mannen's advances. Eventually, the feite mannen's friends arrive to collect him, leaving the singer feeling lonely and abandoned. He calls out to the feite mannen, reminding him of their plans, but the man ignores him and walks away. The song ends with the singer lamenting the loss of a brief connection that meant something to him, but was clearly unimportant to the feite mannen.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on power dynamics, age differences, and the complications that can arise in romantic or sexual relationships between people with different levels of experience and attractiveness. The feite mannen's attention is both flattering and unsettling to the singer, who is unsure how to respond. Throughout the song, there is a sense of sadness and frustration as the singer realizes that the connection he briefly shared with the feite mannen was not mutual, and was ultimately disposable to the older man.
