I'm very certain you lot will recognise the tune. The text is largely a translation of the original, anyway.

Yes, but i just cannot recall what the song is!
I know someone's done it in Swedish, definitely.

"I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke"
Yes, it is that ad. There can be no Christmas without it.

Begone evil spirits!

The only bit of hip-hop i had any interest in, and that was all because of Sissel K.

Begone evil spirits!

That ad and the Yule greetings from the agent were part of our yule for so long I just can't go without viewing it at least once. Another part gone was the TV news showing clips from several places with James Last's version of "Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben" as BGM.

Here is a recent Norwegian Christmas song, performed in both Faeroese and Norwegian.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKvBd5S2p5U — in Faeroese.

Ah, I found it online, much less scratched and crackly (or simply restored): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVe8CULYzh8

Mine is (from my inherited grandfather's collection):

P.S. 1931...? I thought it was made in the forties. Although, considering the make and quality of his many other early Soviet songs, which were definitely made in the thirties... Rio-Rita alone is worn almost to death.

Must get to digitizing them all someday. It's a big box. On the other hand, connecting PC to my tube player is fraught with peril. I have lost one sound blaster to a voltage spike like that. Must research precautions, ward evil off with Zener diodes and stuff.

Say, what happens when Hr. Zehnpfennig and Dr. Böhm join the Cavalry of the Steppes?
Music happens, that's what.
