I never really knew of anything cool and famous that was related to Norway, other than Norwegian Cruise Lines and the Norway village at Disney's Epcot theme park. It ends up that there are some pretty well-known bands and musicians from Norway. When I think of Norway's music scene, I think of lots of electronic and metal music. Thankfully, there's more genres to it.

Röyksopp

This Norwegian electronica duo is probably best known in the U.S. for their song "Remind Me", which was featured on a Geico caveman commercial.

A-Ha

This band from Norway has been around since 1982 and they're still making music. Although I doubt anyone can name one of their songs other than "Take on Me".

While the movie itself was kind of lame, I can't help but giggle every time I think about the "Puff the Magic Dragon" scene in Meet the Parents. If you haven't seen it, the basic idea is that Robert De Niro's character enjoys the song but doesn't acknowledge the possibility that it might be about something other than a dragon that lived by the sea. Ben Stiller's character mentions the "other meaning" and is promptly interrogated by De Niro, the father-in-law to be.

Taking inspiration from that scene, we've compiled a list of other songs that may or may not mean exactly what they say.

10. Olivia Newton-John, Let's Get Physical - Maybe she's singing about exercising. Or maybe not.



9. Bloodhound Gang; Foxtrot, Uniform, Charlie, Kilo - With lines like "Put the you know what in the you know where" and "Vulcanize the whoopee stick in the ham wallet", there's really no way to argue that this one is anything but dirty.

8. Cyndi Lauper, She Bop - Another 80s classic, this song could be about dancing, but most people agree that it's about a different "hobby".
