  • And they say white people have no rhythm....

  • It's not that I want to give you a hard time or critisize your musical knowledge, but trust me: this is not a part of any form of norwegian folk music, it is a joke. I guarantee that, as a norwegian with a strong interest in folk music.

  • @ReverendMadamMel Their trying to stomp a mouse on the floor you bloody idiot!

    The song is called "the mouse-stomping song"

    And please don't take anything of what i just said serious :D

  • This is brilliant ! Like the South American band in the Fast Show, it is really very hard to play something badly when you are actually very good.

    You try it.

    Yeah, we do understand it is not REAL folk music.

  • @Ikkeroger The tune at the end is an unusual version of a Norwegian folk tune so widely played that it's ended up in Shetland tradition too. I don't know its name, but there are obviously bits of Norwegian folk tradition you've missed out on.

  • ROFL yeah this is definitley a joke. Norwegian folk is actually pretty awesome.

  • Great, fags makin fools of themselves on youtube. There isn't nearly enough of that going on.
