Here is a video of a bunch of Norwegian soldiers in Kosovo doing a takeoff on the Beach Boys’ “Kokomo”. It is well done and very funny. I figure these guys must have just finished off a couple bottles of mead sent in a care package from home.

Posted by: Goat at May 19, 2005 01:16 AMHilarious! Much better than the original. I especially liked the Rwanda bit.

Posted by: Busy Mom at May 19, 2005 09:37 AMI meant to watch that yesterday and didn't get to it - I'm glad I came back today and saw it - ROFL!!!
Posted by: Teresa at May 19, 2005 05:15 PMJust checked this out 'cause of the Times link. Hilarious. Those Norwegians sure know how to have fun.
Congrats on today's ink.
Posted by: Barista at July 13, 2005 10:50 AMThis is just a shameful video. These people should stay away from UN peace forces and protecting anyone on this planet.
Posted by: What UN? at July 15, 2005 02:52 PMHahaha, that one is pretty funny and not without irony. Plenty of Political morbid humor. These guys are from the "Telemark" Batallion wearing the Viking-ship on their shoulders.
Posted by: DK at July 15, 2005 07:10 PMHey. I am really glad you all like the video. I am the one who made. For some incredible reason, this harmless video actually caused quite the scandal, and I was summoned to a 6 hour long interrogation.
But as long as people like it, it was all worth while!!!

you guys probably won't understand much of this, but I guess you can make out the words "norwegian soldiers" and "scandal video"
Peace out!

Posted by: Ylla at October 25, 2005 01:00 PMI received the video last summer from my husband in Iraq. It's a huge hit over there as well as in this small NH town. A bunch of us here, dreading the school vacation, took our day and have been searching and tracking this video all day. No, we are not crazy...we are settling a debate as to who they are and so on, just like alot of you folks have done.
