It’s been a while since I did the Thursday Tunes-thing, and this was supposed to be a new Thursday Tunes-post, but I never managed to finish it until Thursday was gone. Time flies…
That’s why this is a Monday Music-post instead… Hope you will enjoy these songs!

We start with some Norwegian songs. The first one is from a duo with the strange name Children and Corpse playing in the streets. The name is less macabre than it sounds. For those of you who know a bit norwegian, the story behind it was that the mother of one of the band’s friends was trying to explain in English how Norway’s constitution day is celebrated… The mother was not very experienced in the English language and said “Children and corpse playing in the streets”… Understand?
Anyway… Here’s the music:

Children and Corpse playing in the Streets – France (from NRK Urört)

We continue with a Norwegian energy-bomb from Teeny Grownups, who seems to like Belle and Sebastian:

teeny grownups – belle and sebastian

and here’s another Norwegian, this one’s based in the UK:

Campfire Kansas – Everything after (from NRK Urört)
