My debut as lead vocals!

The episode subject is "Home", where you live, or in Norwegian, "Bo". First, I wrote a really bad first draft, that didn't work at all. Then Synne the director came up with the idea to do something different for this episode - there is a nest with some quirky birds, and what about having those birds performing the song, singing about how much they enjoy living in a nest? 

A great idea, and we decided to have me an Sjur perform the birds, with some additional pitch editing. We've already performed many supportive vocals, like the Boogles, socks, gloves, children and more, but never been the lead vocals.

I set to work and wrote the following Nobel price winning piece of literature:

The birds are performing this text in very broad Bergensk, my own dialect, which is excellently self-smug and self-centered when taken to extremes. It is a perfect voice to the happily clueless birds, enjoying life in their nest.

There is also a solo part, where the two birds yell about how incredible awesome it is to be a bird, how great everything is, and they are now going to perform an awesome chirping solo.... which of course absolutely totally suck.

I built a very 80ies pop setting for the song, I'm sure the references are easily spotted. The chorus are performed by everyone, and the wonderful lofi video as usual is produced on a legendary budget.

So that's my debut as a lead vocalist for a music video shown on prime time television. (Me to the left, Sjur to the right).
