For those that don't know, Scandinavia consist of Norway, Sweden and Denmark (with Iceland and Finland being acceptable content)
A lot of musical content from this area cracks me up but this was inspired by the Norwegian singer that's featured on the Age of Conan soundtrack. Since probably most don't follow that thread, here's Helene Bøksle, goofy "ø" and all, singing "Heiemo og nykkjen":
Helene Bøksle: Heiemo og nykkjen
Score +1 one for Norway.

Next up, a contribution from laneela on a previous thread. Currently the #1 song in Scandinavia:
Armi Ja Danny - I Want To Love You Tender
(this is one of those cases where Finland must be included!)
+1 for Finland

Sweden's most popular group:
Aqua - Barbie Girl
17+ million views! Officially from Wiki Aqua is "a Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group" but the lead singer is from Sweden so:
+1 for Drolgin

Now for Iceland...who's from Iceland...let me think...The Sugarcubes!
Sugarcubes - Birthday (live)
A young Björk looks like she's 12 instead of her usual 14 year old appearance. Great song. She goes off around the 1:30 mark. Crank this one up!
+1 for Iceland

http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/den ... avia/65290Some years ago some people came together in the name of the newest trend in music; a mixture of pop and dance rhythms. Today their music is being played all over the world and the group has won several prices for their music. The group we are talking about is of course the Danish group AQUA with Swedish lead singer Lene Grawford Nystrøm.
