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.
Racerbåt
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I racerbåten sitter noen blide typer
Verden er hvit og blå
Og sommer er mer enn et ord
Og pils er mer enn alkohol
Og jeg syns det er ganske tøft
Jeg syns det er ganske tøft
Jeg syns det er ganske tøft
Racerbåt driver opp og ned langs Færder
Racerbåts mannskap solnedgang kan se
Verden er svarte bølger
Og angst er mer enn et ord
Og pils er kun alkohol
Og jeg syns det er ganske tøft
Jeg syns det er ganske tøft
Jeg syns det er ganske tøf
The lyrics of deLillos' "Racerbåt" paint a vivid picture of a group of people riding a speedboat towards Denmark. The opening line, "Racerbåt kjører ganske fort mot Danmark" ("Speedboat drives towards Denmark quite fast"), sets the tone for the adventure ahead. The passengers in the boat are described as happy and jolly, with the world appearing white and blue, and summer seemingly more than just a word. The line "Og pils er mer enn alkohol" ("And beer is more than just alcohol") implies that they are enjoying the social aspect of drinking and the company of their friends, rather than just the effects of alcohol.
As the boat sails along the Færder coast, the lyrics take a darker turn. The world is described as black waves, and anxiety is more than just a word. The line "Og pils er kun alkohol" ("And beer is only alcohol") suggests that the drink is not providing the same sense of comfort and camaraderie as before. Despite this shift in tone, the singer still finds the experience exhilarating and "ganske tøft" (pretty cool).
Overall, "Racerbåt" seems to be about the excitement and joy of taking risks and having new experiences, even if they may come with some fear or anxiety. It also speaks to the power of friendship and the importance of enjoying the present moment.

Man føler faktisk at man er med i båten.

@Arne Nilsen Hi hi. Jeg ser det for meg, - Lars Lillo litt sånn kledelig grønn i maska bak i båten, og saltvann på gripebrettet.
Jeg kjenner igjen den stemningen. Han er genial til å beskrive sånne tilstander og opplevelser.

Jeg rasket sammen noen bilder fra internet. Har en del erfaring med sjøliv selv og vet hvor fort været kan snu. Lars Lillo har nok vært dritafull og dritredd
