This is a refreshingly angry song hankering after the 'good old Denmark' of the hippy town of Christiana and beyond. WARNING: Contains some strong Anglo Saxon language among the Danish. The singer, Natasja, was killed in a car crash last June but the song has been in the charts for weeks since the beginning of this year. She also recorded a traditional Danish song, 'i Danmark er jeg født' (in Denmark was I born) about how lovely Denmark is, set against a reggae beat, refreshingly multi-cultural in a country where conformity is the tradition. She may be better known outside Denmark for her hit Calabria.
Another surprise was to turn on the car radio last week only to hear the dulcet tones of Alice Cooper. No, this was not an interview. He was hosting a music program and apparantly does this 5 nights a week. Yes, it's syndicated but still it was a bit of a shock amongst the usual Danish and occasional German that I usually pick up. And it makes me wonder what I'm doing going round teaching English here if people can listen to an English language show 5 times a week.
