thette has been on an Avengers binge for quite a while, and then I noted that you could put in Avengers Assemble in a "classic" Swedish parody song on the Norse gods.

Opp och hoppa Thor
slå på trumman bror
det är dans uti New York inatt
uti Peppers sal
står vår hjältebal.
Opp och hoppa fast Fury har spatt
Slå i mera mjöd
det får bli min död.
Nej, se där är ju Darcy min skatt
Min Natasha, kom hit
till vår fruktsamhetsrit.
Upp och hoppa i New York i natt!

Hawkeye han hade hiskelig hicka
Banner han bota med ingefärsdricka.
Avengers Assemble,
vakna och vråla,
Tony han bråka och Maria hon skrek:

Upp och hoppa, Tor…

Kaptenen med skölden snurra och brumma
Loki han låg där och lekte och lulla
Hjältarna gorma,
röto och rulla,
Chefskillen Fury kvidde och kvad:

Upp och hoppa, Thor…

Note that the recorded original version (in the YouTube) is more rowdy than the written version, that is the more well-known one nowadays. I've followed the written version.

I don't read Swedish (or Norwegian, despite ancestry), but I DO remember a humorous song about Thor and the Gods gettting drunk and causing trouble; I remember the tune even if I couldn't really understand it, as my mom had it on an album she played frequently. Is this likely the same one or a related song?

[kjn]

Might very well be the same song - it was translated to Norwegian and released there in 1961 (the Swedish version is from 1945). The YouTube has the tune, of course.

[seawasp]

Heh. I think it IS. I have to see if I can find the Norwegian one I remember, which had a loud percussion section for Thor.

The song does tell him to bang the drum...

Some checking around tells the Norwegian version is available on iTunes:

Artist: Alf Prøysen
Album: Original Prøysen 2 - Tango for Tv - 24 viser
Title: Schottis i Valhall

That's EXACTLY it. As soon as I saw the artist name I knew you'd nailed it. She had several Alf Prøysen albums.

Thanks!
