The group was formed by Lars Lillo-Stenberg in 1984. The other members were the bassist and vocalist Lars Fredrik Beckstrøm and the drummer Rune Lindstrøm. In 1986 Lindstrøm left the band and was replaced by Øystein Jevanord. In 1988 Jevanord left the band and he was replaced by Øystein Paasche.

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.

There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.

deLillos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Min beibi dro avsted
i en blå folkevogn
og ba meg om å la henne være i fred
Hun tok med seg en walkman
og fatter'ns bassgitar
og sa at jeg ikke fikk lov å være med

Min beibi dro avsted,

hun dro avsted
Sammen med de ekle guttene hun spiller med
Hun spiller pønkebassgitar
hun spiller pønkebassgitar
Og jeg spiller badmington sammen med far

Min beibi dro avsted
i en blå folkevogn
og ba meg om å være i fred
Hun tok med seg en walkman
og fatter'ns bassgitar
og sa at jeg ikke fikk lov å være med

Min beibi dro avsted,
hun dro avsted
Sammen med de ekle guttene hun spiller med
Hun spiller pønkebassgitar

hun spiller pønkebassgitar
Og jeg spiller badmington sammen med far

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to deLillos's song Min beibi dro avsted tell the story of a young man whose girlfriend leaves him in a blue Volkswagen, taking her father's bass guitar and her walkman with her. She tells him to leave her alone and she drives off with a group of boys who play punk music. The singer is left behind, feeling abandoned and lost, playing badminton with his father.

The song is a commentary on the angst and confusion of youth, particularly in relationships. The singer feels out of step with his girlfriend and her friends, unable to understand or participate in their interests. His girlfriend's departure leaves him feeling rejected and alone, playing a meaningless game with his father while she pursues her musical passions.

The song echoes the themes of many classic teen movies and coming-of-age stories, where young people struggle to find their place in the world and navigate their relationships. The lyrics are simple and poignant, capturing the emotions of longing, confusion, and heartbreak that are so familiar to many of us.

Min beibi dro avsted
My baby went away

i en blå folkevogn
In a blue Volkswagen

og ba meg om å la henne være i fred
And asked me to leave her alone

Hun tok med seg en walkman
She took her Walkman

og fatter'ns bassgitar
And her dad's bass guitar

og sa at jeg ikke fikk lov å være med
And said that I couldn't come along

Sammen med de ekle guttene hun spiller med
Together with the creepy guys she plays with

Hun spiller pønkebassgitar
She plays punk bass guitar

Og jeg spiller badminton sammen med far
And I play badminton with dad

og ba meg om å være i fred
And asked me to leave her alone

Min beibi dro avsted
My baby went away
