ARNIE NORSE
- Have you released many CDs? - Huh?
Have you made a lot of CDs?
There is thirteen on that table, I've made fourteen and I'm working on the fifteenth with Audun Tylden.
He is going to use fourteen of my completely new songs.
"*** my butt said the hen on the hill."
Roaster with a hat, it tingles in the ***. The human "mouse", it itches in my ***...
It's love songs and funny songs.
- Is that from your wedding? - It's my wife from when we got married in Thailand.
- You haven't said hello to my wife? - No, it went to fast.
Nipaporn, TV wants to say hello to you!
- Hi! - Hello!
- Hi, Vegard. - Is your name Nipaporn?
- Yes, Nipaporn. - Nipaporn.
- Yes. I'm coming straight from work... - It's fine, we are at work too, it's okay.
It's just Arnie who has dressed up.
- You've got a lovely wife. - Yes, she's good.
- Is she good? - She is good at...
Look, is this wehere you sit and compose your lyrics?
"Have you seen my little wife?". But it's not my present wife, but my former wife.
Doesn't she mind that you sing about your former wife?
- I'm 112 years old, so I've been married before. - Of course you have.
''Have you seen my little wife who lies down for a dime.''
I need help from Nipaporn.
- Nipaporn! Could you bring the honking horns? Bring the honking horns now, Nipaporn.
- Don't pressure her. - I'm coming.
- Take that one and do the same as she does. - Good.
''Have you heard about her, Andrea, it was from her I got my third gon...''
''Help me with the rhymes, I know nothing about those things''.
''Have you heard about Tøyen-Tulla, it was her who gave me my very first...".
I have two verses about a ***, who used to play with me, but he is dead now, he was an alcoholic.
He promised me that we should record it one day.
His name was Harald.
I promised that I should put that on my CD. The honk honk song in on that one.
Okay.
It sold 15 000 copies in one week.
Harald, he was a ***, he only does it only when he gets a ...
''Help me with the rhymes, I know nothing about those things''.
But with some luck Harald could get a ...
Isn't it a bit bad that when she comes to Norway you teach her all the dirty words?
- To Norway? - And you teach her the bad words.
Luckily she's got a great sense of humor, otherwise it would have gone to hell.
Luckily...
- I don't understand anything. And I'm blind too. - Okay...
Here is this dirty joke.
- Do you have a lot of sex? - If I have..?
A lot of sex? Since you write so much about sex and *** and such things?
- If i have a fax? - No, if you have a lot of sex?
- Sex? - Yes. Since you write...
Yes, back in the days, but not now, I'm 112, you know.
- Has he given up? - Pardon?
Has he calmed down?
I'm going to tell you about Tranen...
- Do you know what I call him? Limp ***. - Limp ***!
She called you a limp ***!
- I'm a specialist on dirty songs. - I get that.
It's cool since you use a lot of old words, not many people say *** anymore.
I try to avoid the word c*nt, I rather use:
1. Mouse. 2. ***. 3 Bladder 4. Hen 5. The old one.
- There are many words. - Keep on going!
- That was just five, come on! - Now I don't know any more.
''Mexico Joe! Your ... is big in Mexico."
You could find it in every jukebox in Norway. There was a queue around with people who liked ''Mexico-Joe''.
Are you sure you're not exaggerating a bit now?
And on the B-side there was "Oh Senorita".
- That b-side became a huge hit in Iceland. - In Iceland?
Yes, in Iceland, Reykjavik.
''Yes, then there is summer in Norway.''
- You see, I don't just do dirty songs. - That was a fine waltz.
This is a rude song about princess Märtha.
''I speak with angels too, when I take a dram, or five.''
''When my angels command that I have to toast with them.''
''Because I am psychic and sees visions, just like Märtha sometimes, it starts when I drink, then I see a white elephant.''
I'm bit like Märtha then.
Oh, oh, oh, Maria...
Arnie has played here every week since 1978.
But, Arnie, do people think that your language is too coarse?
If I'm what?
If you use to coarse words? Do people think that?
- Some people do. - Yes.
And they think I hate women due to my lyrics.
But you should know that there is no one who likes women more than I do.
I don't get how can they think that I hate women.
They misinterpret my sense of humor, you know, and think I make fun of the girls.
But it's just my sense of humor, you know.
Have you slept with a lot of women?
- I don't dare to say when my wife is here. - She's not here, she left.
Did you live a rock star life?
Yes, but when you're an entertainer you'll get the girls, they think it's exciting with entertainers.
- But I don't know why, it's stupid. - It's special.
- But we are not more exciting than others. - Well, yes, a bit.
- Try some of these. - Chocolate bananas.
You have many of these. Nikko, look behind you.
- I go to Sweden and buy them once in a while. - And then you buy a lot. Have you seen that, Bård?
- Is this in from Trandal? - It's Pattaya. Wedding picture from Pattaya.
- Have you been married many times? - Only once before.
She says "Dad, we got married in Bangkok".
Yes, but the picture was taken in Pattaya.
Nipaporn, am I lying now? Is the picture taken in Pattaya or..?
The picture is taken in Pattaya and in Bangkok. Wedding in Bangkok.
- But the picture was taking in Pattaya. - Yes.
- Bangkok and Pattaya. - So I wasn't lying.
That's good.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Arnie we're talking about, he's a legend.
Please give a warm welcome!
The honk-honk song. Help me with the rhymes.
''Have you heard about her, Andrea, it was from her I got my third gono...''
''Help me with the rhymes, I know nothing about those things''.
''Rut never wore a blouse, she let me touch her ...''
''Help me with the rhymes, I know nothing about those things''.
Gerd does it once a week, she always burps...
''Help me with the rhymes, I know nothing about those things''.
Ash on the tablecloth!
