Just checking: Did anyone / everyone / some get the joke? I was hoping
that 'Harry Nilsson' reference was a dead giveaway.
For those who _did_ get it: You're welcome for the earworm. ;->
Believe me, you _can_ sing that song in Norwegian, though the effect is
really weird (and meter's not quite right).
Given that it was May Day, I probably should have gone for the
Internationale, but this song seemed funnier.
