  • I sang along in english and most of the lines still rhymed.

  • @bob20202020 Yeah, i tried doing the same, and especially the chorus rhymed quite well.

  • Thumbs up if you are going to the consert in Bergen 21. feb

  • Justin Bieber made 19 accounts to dislike this.

  • Fortells is having fun by creating several accounts and posting the same statement and liking them, it seems. If you don't like it, then please do fuck off, there will always be different genres and ways of playing music. That simple little you don't like one doesn't make it garbage.

  • I love Norwegian music!!! Despite what everyone thinks, it's so diverse and Kaizers Orchestra just fucking rocks!!!! I love Kaizers!!!

  • Is there a instrumental version of this?

  • This from an Englishman ok. If you aren't already.. Dere skulle være stolte, dere har verdens beste band. you know that, you must know that

  • @yooanoozarrmay Thank you sir, very kind of you to say :) I`m sure the most of us Norwegians love Kaizers!

  • as a second-generation norwegian, and having english as a second-born language... @kaizers orchestra: i love you and can not thank you enough.... tusen tusen takk!

  • De synger på en dialekt som heter Jærsk ;)

    Det er ikke noe gammelt norsk

  • Forferdelig lydkvalitet... =/

  • Tommel opp hvis dette er den første sangen dere vart ånkelig fulle med!

  • Reminds me of Smukfest 2011 in Denmark... KAIZERS ORCHESTRA!! 

  • Flott!! Jeg elsker Kaizers!!

  • Kaizers Orchestra are fuckin' shit.

    SHIT HOT!! lenge leve KO1

  • 1500s? norway has more history in dialect than that

  • @areuanowl Mmh, tror vi snakka litt mer gammelnorsk før 1500-tallet...

    ganske likt hva Islendere snakker i dag

  • @areuanowl

    Jeg er sikker på, at du vil have svært ved at forstå noget der var ældre. Sprog ændrer sig meget med tiden. Bare se på dansk og norsk, for 1000 år siden var det samme sprog. Det er næsten kun islandsk, der ikke har ændret sig specielt.

  • @TheFutski Husk på at vi fremdeles har mange like ord. i gammelnorsk er det plusset på r-er overalt. Selvfølgelig er det ikke lett forståelig men husk og på at Engelsk har lånt mye fra germanske språk og der i blandt Norsk, eller mer spesifikt gammelnorsk.

  • Han som synger startet bandet så det er i fra Jæren ikke Bergen eller Stavanger!

  • 2:58 I would have shit myself if I had been one of those boys

  • @Monicaplay123 Why?

    

  • @MatsRivel lmao because Omen scares the shit out of me

  • Yes, the Jæren dialect is awesomw even to a Dane...

  • Omg nice fucking song

  • Omg the sound i really really really bad on this one.

  • Just heard them live :) They were awesome!! Especially this song and "Resistansen! took off ! :D

  • haha, it took me so long to realise it´s not english :D I thought it was some strange accent, and acording to this video, they indeed sing about a swingin´ hammer at 1:27

  • @tropicosimcity They aculy wantet Tom Waits to sing the Swing Your Hammer part and he agreed but the scheduel of the to bands didnt match so Kaizers had to record it with out him.... :s

  • Comment removed

  • Saw them live two days ago..it was pretty awesome!

  • @greendayandsum41 På Roskilde? saw them live there too, that was the best concert at the whole festival :P

  • True true

  • i can't understand anything but it sounds good

  • @2727guitarman how come you don't understand it even when it's subtitled? :p

  • @2727guitarman exept for the lousy text-font

  • Greetings form Norway.

    Who gives a shit where the language came from.

    SVING DIN HÆMMAR

  • I must say, even as a norwegian these subtitles helped me to actually understand what he is singing about. Still, one sings along anywas; Sving din hammer!

  • @PetraH1989

    I know how the Indo-European family tree looks like and English is placed in the Lower Germanic family. I'm just saying that studies have been done on the English language that show that out of all commonly spoken words approximately 2/3 are from Old Frisian, Old Anglo-Saxon and Nordic descent and only 1/3 are from Latin, Greek and Old Norman French. Therefore we are mostly Germanic. Call it a hybrid if you want, but not a Romantic language.

  • @PetraH1989

    You forgot about its basis of the English language which is Anglo-Saxon, a mixture of multiple Old Lower German dialects, Old Jutish Norse and Old Frisian.

  • @PetraH1989

    The word you are looking for is Roman. U twat.

  • @PetraH1989

    Romance language? LOOOL

  • Loooooooooooooooooooooooooveee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee <3

  • Nice song! Cheers from San Francisco.

  • I've had this song stuck to my brain in almost 5 months now. I'm driving both me and everyone around me mad singing Maestro's chorus :D This is probably the best Kaizers song ever in my oppinion. Some may critize the way Ottesen sings on this one, but I think it's absolutely awesome :D

  • proof that us Norwegians can not only play just black metal

  • @bloodgordge True but there are a few DAMN good metal bands from norway :3

  • @bloodgordge Men vi gjør Black Metallen godt også! :P

  • @MrNightgale true that

  • @bloodgordge im Italian and i only know few norwegian words thanks to the KO i love them and they amke me want to learn Norwegian so much! I love Norway u guys are such a great country!

  • @bloodgordge i would say that some of Kaizers Orchestras songs is a special kind of metal ;D

  • @054khj2911 None of them are, they are all more or less Alternative Rock

  • det hører ut som han synger: SVING DIN HUMMER!

  • @shaitshait123 hahahah! yes! swing your lobster! :D

  • @shaitshait123

    Det gjør det FAEN meg ikke.

    din jevla ikke-vestlending. DRA TIL HÆLVÆTTE!

  • @YellowMagi det var da voldsomt til sint da. det var ikke ment som en fornermelse, kaizer fan jeg å.

  • Fuck... If you're going to subtitle it, at least make the subtitles visible enough to read :/

  • This video has more bass than the original-song!

    Not good...

  • I speak conversational German and I've been speaking English since I was 6 and I can understand a good bit of this... somehow. I love Norwegian and how colorful it is as a language! Kaizers is one of my favorite bands of all time because they totally embrace their linguistic identity when most music is sung in English. I love everything about them!

  • swung my hammer to that one

  • I can't understand almost anything but Kaizers are so good it doesn't really matter. I have studied swedish for a while but im completely terrible at it so there isn't really a chance for me to understand some old Norwegian dialect. (Swedish and Norwegian are pretty similar languages so basically i can translate most song titles with my swedish skills)

  • Man these guys are awesome! And this is only the second song I heard made by them!

  • @Tomsterk598

    watch?v=bQvbXlCtUvk

    One of their first and best songs!

  • watch?v=bQvbXlCtUvk

    En musikkvideo til Ompa til du dør

    Håper dere liker den :)

  • jeg er dansk og jeg forstår vel omkring 50 %, så Jærsk må have en del til fælles med Dansk :)

  • 2 people accidentaly broke something when they swinged their hammers.

  • This is not the way most Norwegians speak. As well as singing in the Jæren-dialect, they mess up their voice quite a bit and that makes it even harder to understand. I'm from that area, and even I had to search up the lyrics to understand all of it.

  • @CharlotteMadison there isn't really a way most Norwegians speak. Everyone has different dialects, so you can't really say "jærsk" isnt spoken much. I speak like this, and for you information: There lives REALLY many people in Jæren.

  • @CharlotteMadison merkelig...eg e fra Lura og forstår alt, snakke jo ca. heilt likt. Men eg e jo selvfølgelig ikkje deg då :)

  • @RKA95 Nei, men det e nogen gånge han seie ting som e litt utydelig osv :c

  • @CharlotteMadison e vel enig med det ;)

  • @CharlotteMadison jeg er selv norsk, og forstår bare halvparten av det han sier. 

  • @JamesforIne Jeg skjønner omtrent alt han sier...? (og nei, jeg snakker ikke "Jærsk".. snakker vell sandefjords-dialekt.) Er det dialekten dems eller måten han synger på som gjør at du ikke forstår?

  • @AgehaSoul tror det er litt av begge egentlig. jeg er fra nordland så er en ganske stor forskjell i dialekten. pluss han synger til tider ganske fort å da kan det blir vanskelig å få med seg alt han sier.

  • @JamesforIne Ah, ja, jeg er enig med det at han kan synge litt fort innimellom, og noen ganger også litt utydelig..^^

  • kaizers orchestra is rock this song!!!!!! omg, what a lol intro, he he. luv it, it maked me shit bricks:D :D :D, genious;).

  • zwingy himmer tell da popper tell da king MAESTRO

  • @Ingestedbanjo Yes they do. It's called "dialects".

  • @BlackHawkNor What?

  • @Ingestedbanjo Sorry, the reply was supposed to be to asse080's comment.

  • If you go to Yorkshire in England you will find many similarities from the dialect there and for example norwegian or danish

  • THE QUALITY. D:

  • Kaizers is from Bergen and Stavanger and there you talk a bit "different". The vocal is from a place called "Jæren" and there they talk "Jærsk" which is one of the oldest dialect in Norway, and is much like what the farmers in the 1500 talked...The also got the guttural R, or The French R, and that makes it different....but awsome :D German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, all english and Norwegian is all germanic languages, and therefor it got similarities :D I think its all correct :)

  • @KJEHMBBBM I wouldn't call english germanic, while it is heavily ingrained with germanic speech and sentence structure i would say that the majority of the verbs and nouns are based off of romance languages

  • @lockcraw

    Not really. Most of our verbs are Germanic, and while it is true that we have a lot of Latin-based nouns, most people use the Germanic versions over the Romantic, unless you are trying to act like an intellectual or upper-class citizen. Traditionally the upper-class were mostly plantagenet (of Norman descent) and they preferred to speak French over English and so would call most of things which pertained to them by the Norman name, and the common people adopted it.It's only 1/3 French

  • @KJEHMBBBM Learn english!

  • @BenJEriksen whiner!

  • Perhaps it's just me, but I much prefer the original version. It just possess so much musicality.

  • dårlig lyd. DISTORTION!!!!!

  • Talking about Norwegian words to English language. England is a correct spelling of "lands of fields" on Norwegian;)

  • De er litt awzum :DD

  • Jeg så dem i Trondheim. De var så bra live!!! De er mye bedre live enn på plate :D

  • so this is norweigien?

  • @pinkhippie135 yes, ps. i am norwegian, and i love it NORWAY ROCKS!!!!

  • @pinkhippie135 Some kind of norwegian, i am from norway and some of the words i could not understand it my self, much of this is in dialect.

  • @pinkseamonster Yur so smart.

  • saw em live for a couple of days ago. fucking awesome!

  • Høres ut som "Meg stå, Meg stå" :P

  • @HeeeDsHotteR

    Maistråd.

  • 2:40 best breed !

  • My dad (who is Norwegian) gave me this CD in '05 and I love it ever since.

  • kaisers ftw Norway ftw

  • goosebumps D:

  • Kaisers, ohyeah,. NORWAY OWNS!

  • AWESOME!!!!!

  • Its the other way around.. other languages takes from english..

    we do it alot and more and more in norway.. in 50 years experts assume we also speak english.. so ur kinda wrong sorry :p

    (eg words we use that we have norwegian words for but we rather use the english word : sale , pc , email, deadline, buissness , Pick up, Teamwork, well the list goes on ..

  • @Filijokkus2k Nope dude, sorry to get all nerdy, but every language kinda come from latin (witch exeptions.. ) but almsot all nothrend countrys have lots of modified latin words in them, witch for many gives the idea that countrys take alot of words from eachother :)

  • @Filijokkus2k

    sale=salg

    Buissness= forretning

    also, there are words for the others as well, but they are just not used as often.

  • for vild musik!

    SÅ NICE! (y)

  • Comment removed

  • THIS IS CATCHY AS FUCK. :D

  • Love it~

  • Knallgode song ^_^

  • Jeg klarer ikke å høre om de er danske eller norske XD

    Jeg digger denne sangen o_____0

  • I like how the mariachi is the knife thrower XD

  • i saw them life like... 3 years ago and they ROCK

  • They are not from Bergen, they're from Bryne next to Sandnes ;-) I'm from Sandnes and even I have problems hearing what they are singing... :P

  • They're not from Bergen :P

  • lolz they are from bryne..

  • well when everybody are speaking about accents :L, i speak "pure" norwegian or i dont have any accent :P,or maybe just a bit eastern "inspiration" when it comes to some words :L ,...I have preoblems understanding what they are singing... but ofc AWSOEM BAND !!!!! ^^

  • Let me tell u so guys.

    When u get used to an accent, u wont care how it sounds .. Like me, im 10min from bryne, were these guys are from. And I really cant understand why these guys has such a different accent x)

  • There are places in the world where the accents are waay more different than in Norweagian, but ulvemann42, do you really think that this sounds like dannish ? (:

  • Well our dialect "Jærsk" has been reffered to as "reserve-dansk" (backup danish) especially by people in the eastern part of Norway, dunno why lol :P Me æ vist ganske grove i måle

  • @PetraRocks100 heheheh: reservedansk x)

  • @TigrisCariosus Ja, det er hvertfall det jeg har hørt :P

  • wee im from the same place as them! Bryne gogo

  • I'm from northern Norway, but I can understand it just fine. It sounds a bit danish sometimes, but that's just the Bergen accent.

  • Sorry, but this accent isn't from Bergen, it is from Bryne.

  • opps, sorry ;) it's hard to the difference between those two for me.

  • Null problem :D

  • To those who have trouble understanding it, I live and hour away from Oslo, and I can understand most of it.

  • Listening to a foreign language really makes me realize that English DOES take from every freakin language...

  • Yes?

  • @aniol8er13 nerly every language take from english to

  • @aniol8er13 Nope dude, sorry to get all nerdy, but every language kinda come from latin (witch exeptions.. ) but almsot all nothrend countrys have lots of modified latin words in them, witch for many gives the idea that countrys take alot of words from eachother :)

  • @aniol8er13 A lot of it has to do with the fact that most European languages come from a similar root language or root languages, so there are a lot of words that sound very similar.

    But yeah, English is a language full of stolen words :)

  • @aniol8er13 english is actually almost half norwegian/swedish/danish, cause when the vikings invaded england, the lanuage was changed drasticly. Also because the vikings settled in england at that time too. That's one of the reasons why it's so much alike.

  • @Hanso661 actually, over 50% of english words come from latin, but those are the harder words that you donnt use as much in everyday conversation, but it also takes from german and stuff, andit probably does take from those, but i dont think close to half

  • @pinkhippie135 Not only english words come from latin, but I think almost all the languages in Europe becuase latin was the main language a long time ago. If you spoke any scandinavian language you'd see that almost half of the words are the same, just spelled and pronounced a little bit different. I didn't mean that hald of the words come from scandinavia (i know it sounded like that), but that they're very alike. And the viking invasion had a lot to do with that, though not everything

  • @aniol8er13 No? Basic roots of EVERY European languages are Latin, dumbass.

  • @666TAcT666 dude, european languages come from german latin and greek, not just latin, latin languages are the ones like french, italian, spanish, and that, the romance languages, but languages such as german, dont take from latin, right now i cant think or more languages, but yeah, one example is enough, dont say german is not european

  • @pinkhippie135 Hey, german is also influnced by latin, actually a lot. Even normal everyday language like for example the german word " turm" comes from latin "turris" and you even notice that in english, "tower". All european languages are more or less related to each other or had at least influenced each other at some point of time, Hell, our european languages are even related to sanskrit (India) because of the Indo-Germans. Language is a very complex thing...

  • @aniol8er13 Actually, the "Scandinavian" languages also took from English. It was a big mashing of viking fun and "commerce" that lead to language similarities.

  • @aniol8er13 or that its every freaking language that takes from english..

  • @aniol8er13 maybe cause many language are in the germanic family and the germanic languages share much of the same vocabulary and grammatical features

  • @aniol8er13 Yes, and the other way around : )

  • @aniol8er13 The Norwegian language is actually the one who's taking much from English

  • @Phirelord77 shhh don't tell annyone!

  • @supersmaawgis Sorry :O

  • English from Norwegian - Norwegian is way older sprak

    do u know y Irish folks got curly redish hair -because before vikings came on this island there were only sheeps

  • @gr0cha you are a sheep!!!! na jk you are right ;)

  • @aniol8er13 trust me, most of norway would consider this way of singing as kind of a butchering of the norwegian language. no one talks like this. everybody still likes them. and they got all the reasons in the world :)

  • What on earth do you meen? This is a perfect Stavanger accent! (Pretty much the same as mine..)
