Isn't It Good Norwegian Whatever

A reader informs me it has been 10 years to the day since I last posted about world's greatest Norwegian power pop thrush Vibeke Saugestad.

Obviously, that's way too long, so here's a fabulous new (well, actually eight months old) song from her and her ace band.

Man, if that doesn't put a smile on your face, you really need to seek medical attention.

And I should add that I really really dig the Beatles-ish French Horn at the end of the song. 😎

I should also add that you can find out more about her, and hear more of her music, over at her official website HERE.

BTW, the fabulous bass player in the clip is Vibeke's hubby (an American, as are apparently the rest of the guys in the band). And the clip was filmed in her backyard in Beacon NY, where she now resides.

  1. They're pretty terrific! They should come up river & play Albany.

    Funny you mention Beacon - we visited there a few months ago for a long weekend and now the missus fantasizes about moving there....

      As a general contractor I worked in many the yard of homes in Westchester/Fairfield County. When I saw that fence I thought, Norway?
      Nah, that fence has a New England look. BTW - fun polka dots

  6. Nice.

    The opening chords remind me of Dutch band Sunday Sun's "Ordinary Love":

  7. The song reminds me of Lazy Day by Spanky & Our Gang from the 60's i believe.
    Love the Power Pop button on the SG!
