(no word yet on whether he can decipher Elvish)1) The song is officially by "Enur, featuring Natasja." Clueless DJs across the country, too stupid to do a quick Wikipedia search, have been saying "Enur" as if that were a person. In fact, the person is actually called "Rune," and just used Enur as a backward alias. Rune is a Danish musician, known for his "house music" track Calabria, which comprises the "music" portion of the song below.
2) The singing/rapping is also by a Danish person, this time actually named Natasja. Things I found out about Natasja:
2.1) Her mother is Danish and her father is Sudanese
2.2) She considers herself to not only be a rapper, but a reggae singer. Apparently there is quite the market for that in Denmark.
2.3) She's freaking dead! I mean no disrespect, but I was already obsessing on the song. It wasn't only the lyrics that felt like I could almost understand them, but the way she looks in the video. When you watch it, ignore the bootylicious parts, and pay attention to when she simply looks back at us over her shoulder. [shudders delightfully] It should say something that I could care less about all the T&A, and instead am crazy about her looks. Then to find out she died last year before the song could become big.....I feel like a necrostalker. (Is that a word? It should be. This hasn't happened to me since Karen Carpenter.)
3) By far the most amazing....THE SONG IS IN FREAKING ENGLISH! Danish English, to be sure, but English nonetheless. I listened to the song while reading the lyrics, and much like Stairway to Heaven, I finally understood it. (Of course, equally like Stairway, if you showed me other lyrics, I might hear that too, so there's no proof just yet.)
(in case you're wavering on whether to watch the video)Below I have the video again, along with the lyrics. Even more than Informer (by Snow) of the early '90s, this is the most unintelligible English song I think I've ever heard.
But man, am I obsessed.
