unfortunately it was one of maybe 10 countries that had 6 ladies dressed in long white dresses with mainly blonde hair.... so it got forgotten. a real waste.
I'm French, I don't have any idea of what the song is about, but since I saw it in 2006 I'm a fan. I don't know why it catched my attention immediately but I know I love it, and I will love it forever.....even if the lyrics are a complete mystery to me ;D
@GiaGlam this song has a lot of quality. And 14th place for a song that great, without being cheesy, catchy and unoriginal, is excellent! At least you did not betray norwegian culture with that magnificent song like you did this year with Waka Waka with African Shakira...
This was one of the best songs that year.. It got 14th place and the biggest surprise of all is that the highest amount of points it got.... Was from RUSSIA.
я точно помню,что именно эта песня мне запомнилась из всего мусора,спетого на этом евровидении. i remember that exactly this song stayed in my mind and not the others...it seems to me the rest were very plain
this song is so magical I can't get it out of my mind since eurovision 2006. much love from turkey eurovision is so unfair sometimes. this should have done better.
That year prove once again how retarded Europe is, I think Albania was like... maybe the only country that voted and is always voting for the actual songs they like, not for neighbours to make peace etc...
The second Gulbrandsen participating for Norway, Lordi surely had an interesting song but sweden, germany and of course this norwegian one were much better. Not one of the best Eurovision votings!!
Their low low placement was really unfair, probably because they actually sing in their own language, and there are too many retards in the world that hate that. :\
If only Norway and Sweden weren't so ashamed of having music in their own language. This was a rarity and has been the ONLY Scandinavian language entry in the past twelve years between Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
No offense, but are you guys aware that this song is a rip-off of "Come Cover Me" with Nightwish? The chorus is identical and the verses very similar. I doubt that it's a coincidence. I'm probably going to get lots of negative comments, but it's true nonetheless. Just look it up here on Youtube!
The album, Wishmaster, was released in 2000, 6 years before the European song contest 2006. Immediately when I heard it I thought "Oh my god, are they really allowed to rip off Nightwish like that?" I wouldn't have thought that if the Nightwish song hadn't been released yet.
its funny , everytime we (Norway) won in eurovision we got help from other countries (Ireland Fiounuala-Secret Garden in 1995, Sweden with Andreasson Bobbysocks in 1985 and Rybak partly Belaroussian in 2009)
But this song and Christine is 100 % pure norwegian :-)
Great song, only thing that I wonder is the name. When the lyrics are basically about man and woman getting it on.. how can the song be called elf dance? Why not just call it "Sommernatten" or something.
I don't think a sertain instrument fits Sweden, but I think that a genre fits Sweden very well, and that is Schlager. Because of its history with Schlager in the Eurovision :)
I can't believe you actually like this song! I was so embarresed this song won in Norway XD But after Wig Wam we couldn't get any worse... :p I think Fairytale is the best song from Norway in many, many years!!
I think Norway has sent some of the best songs in Eurovision history the past 4 years. But this year is the best of all of them!!! I can't believe you hate this song! Its amazing. The worst song from norway the past 4 years is 2007.
Hopefully, ALL of these dazzling Norwegian nymphs are having MANY equally beautiful (and talented) daughters ... for my handsome little 1 yr old Norwegian-American son to date someday. :-)
This is one of the VERY BEST songs/performances I have ever heard, and it certainly should have won Eurovision 2006 (or any other such contest in the world) -- NO contest!
Yes very nice song, but it was never ever going to beat Finland that year. Should have deinately finished higher than it did, 14th I think, just 11 points ahead of our joke of a song.
I Think that Norway had some of the best songs from 2004-2009 ;)
Just love "High", "In My Dreams", "Alvedansen", "Ven a bailar conmigo", "Hold On Be Strong" and of course "Fairytale" - it's really nice how you try with something new every year!
Do you speak norwegiam? what does this song talks about? sorry i am from Panama and i was always interested on the lyrics of this song, it is amazing:)
