Thank you for the video 🫶 My stepfarther has worked on the danish music scene for many years and so as a kid we travelled with Back to Back (the first song) amongst other danish 80's and 90's bands. It was great to grow up with music, and I am forever thankful for the experiences I got 🎶

Excellent video! Shu-Bi-Dua is the name of the band, and 'Folkevogn' is the title of the song. It's not a kids' song. There's a lot of humor in their lyrics, but also a lot of innuendos and double entendres as well, For instance, in one of the clips you showed, they sing 'der er plads til seks i en folkevogn' which means 'there's room for six (people) in a Volkswagen', but 'seks' (six) and 'sex' are homophonous in Danish, so it's really a naughty pun. '0-0-0' was the old emergency number (like 911) in Denmark. One of the songs that disappeared is called 'Magi i Luften', and it's a shame because that one was and remains a big hit. Do check it out at some point. I'll see if I can put together a list of Danish movies for you. The name of the genre is "lystspil" and it's a type of light comedy often with songs and stuff. In the meantime, check out the movie 'Reptilicus'. It's the only Danish kaiju movie ever made... it's so bad it's good. And it's so full of Danish cultural things that it tends to be totally bewildering to foreigners who watch it.

Samples were wayyyyy too short - but thanks for listening and appreciating. I could give you 20 more if you wanted.

Did not know any of these..LoL. Enjoyed the video

Dirch Passer is amazing. He was such a great actor

This is nice video. Many of those reminds the local music here in 80s. Even only popular Danish bands here have been DAD (Disneyland after Dark). Swedish popmusic was common here and still is. I remember many cover versions of Swedish songs, but not any from Danish song. Probably I should know more about Danish music, because I am born in Copenhagen.

Loved this of course, grew up with many of these. Your 3rd entry, All My Love I listened to a few days ago. Dirch (Dirk) Passer was Denmarks greatest comedian and comedic actor. Died way too early. I saw him perform but I was very little, I think it at was at Bakken, the Worlds oldest fairground/tivoli, older than the actual Tivoli. Dirch also looked a lot like my dad, we saw a lot of his movies, even though they were very old to me at the time. Danske Film are wonderful. Shu-bi-dua are the Danish Men At Work if that makes sense. Awww… Dodo. Steppeulvene are Steppenwolf in Danish. A Danish sych-folk rock band they released 1 album, Hip, in 1967 and that was it.

Lively video, great, one of my favourite tv program is danish some kind of hunting/fishing series, where two men travels all over the world and get excited from everything like a children on christmas. The danish language they speak is jumble including lot of words from german, english and swedish. I have learnt some german and swedish also so I kind of understand danish a bit, lol.

Hey Geek, I know nothing about Danish pop music so this was interesting. My mom's nickname is "Dodo" so I need to show her this group. Cheers and I'm back BTW - thanks for your support!

I have no idea what rocazino means. I think it is a made up word. There's only a few things I know about Danish music and it is all related to rock and metal :P

Lived in Denmark since 1973 and danish music ro me is fine if you're a kid. But once you turn 11 or 12 i never knew anyone who listened to it. In fact i would find it embarrassing to know somebody who liked it. We had 2 good acts in Denmark in the 80s. Kliché and Lars Hug the singer from Kliché. Then there was Martin Hall and that was it. That didnt change till the 21st century qherw Denamrk became the best country for music for about 10 years. Your Rolloing Stone magazine even did a lot of articles about rhe danish music scene. I had a 3 page thing in 2000 thta said... The only music worth listening to is from Denmark. He only cared for danish bands he said. Of cource this was rhe English speaking bands. Like Spleen United and Kasmir and Mew and so on. Mew is signed to Warner Brothers btw... And Kasmir was David Bowie favw band at rhe start of the century, so they wrote a song for him to duet on. Hes in the video too. But ita gone shite again and Lars Hug has retired now and become a painter on his island. Martin Hall doesn't do synth anymore but anything but.. So Jazz blues and what have you...
