Danish, Sweedish and Norwegian belongs to the same language group which again belongs to English and German, Dutch.Only thing differs are the way we say the words and sorry it's difficult for strangers but learnable. The Scotch way of english has included more than 200 Danish words today which has something to do with the wilings and scottish fishermen. If you look at town names then you can follow the viking settlements in towns ending with -by, -thorpe, -borough and a few more -middle of England. Go hunting
Thank you very much for the information. Ha! Yes. I'm very sorry for bothering you by asking you a stupid question. I forgot. (I just thought that looks very similar to Swedish.) They all have Viking roots or contributions.

I'll have to watch Neil Oliver's Vikings again or re-read the book & the other book I mentioned before. I've been to Whitby, Selby & Scarborough as well as York which was called Jorvik during Viking times. I didn't get a chance to visit the Viking centre when a few of my class-mates did when it 1st opened when I was in Middle School.

A quite well known rock group from Denmark is D-A-D (original Disneyland After Dark - but Disney didn't like that so they became D-A-D). Her a tune from the 90ties called bad craziness

And a verywell known song played around the world -Sleeping my day away - here live from 2014 - group started in 1982

I went around Wakefield today & they had a big event on. Part of it was to get people to join a choir. Unfortunately I couldn't get to the place where they held meetings to join but they said it didn't matter anyway as long as I sung, I carried on singing & I didn't stop singing because singing is so good for you in so many ways & they were trying to encourage everyone to sing. I've decided to carry this on by encouraging everyone else to sing. I'm going to share songs along with song-words. Please join in.

I know people share songs to dance to here but other than the twist & waltz this next song describes my dancing skills.


Now for songs with song-words.



I'm very sorry, guys. I really wanted the Bob Dylan version of this but couldn't find 1 with song-words. It's not a bad version but the Bob Dylan version is better in my opinion anyway but that might be because I'm more familiar with the Bob Dylan version.

I've saved the best for last in more ways than 1 though some people would say that's debatable. Lol.

One group was (apart from Beatles) my favorite back in the 70ties and 80ties - SAILOR. The first song I've chosen is a typical summer song One drink too many - who hasn't got that. Another big thing was that they could sing

And what about Girls girls girls - we all looked for a good babe

And then you all needed a cool breeze

Thank you very much. I've definitely had 1 too many myself at times.

I only ever heard Elvis's version of Girls, Girls, Girls before & seen the film. Dad is a big Elvis fan but I don't really care for him as he sang too loudly for my liking.

Music that differed from their normal music. Status Quo became Irish when they sang All around my hat

Or Robert Plant singing together with Allison Krause an old Everly Brothers hit Gone gone

Thank you very much for that. The 1st 1 isn't available in my country due to copyright limitations.

I can't think of any personally unless you class Scots/Irish singers singing pop, country or folk songs rather than trad. Scots/Irish songs.

Karen Carpenter... voice of an angel. Recall @shawnbm was a fan. Super self-destructive. Geniuses are generally crazy IMO.



I love her, too, and that song is my favorite. She works perfectly in harmony with her brother on it, but I also love “Superstar” and “Rainy Days and Mondays”
