      Before they did music videos and the talk show, they were performing artists, doing sketches and musical-style funny bits (mostly in norwegian though). Check out "YLVIS 3", with skits like "9/11 on ice", or "I can be a hero" in english ;)

What I'm referring to is that you didn't use proper punctuation; there should be a PERIOD at the end of your first comment, and a comma after "no" and "you" in your second comment, followed by end punctuation.

      I trust you have been on an Ylvis binge? I'm not deep into Toto but I get a vibe of that in this song. They're buddies with Stargate producers (Rhianna Sia etc) so I just assume they can call in amazing studio artists. I have a great affection for The Cabin by Ylvis too, and of course... oh lord: The Josh Groban-ish "Stonehenge". Vegard replaced Josh Groban on stage in a Norwegian concert to mess with the audience.

      l Gay marriage is not foul, gross, horrific, or anything of that sort. Everyone has the right to love who they love. We are no men or women to judge a man or woman's relationship. There is nothing wrong with gay marriage. The whole thought of it was created by religion almost as a way to create a perfect society, which is a worthless attempt. Sometimes the church you go to, the bible you read, the preacher you listen to is wrong, harsh, and have very little understanding of a person's emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and desires. No man, woman, or child has the right to dictate another man, woman, or child's life and their ways of living that life. Nothing is wrong or stronger than love. Love is an extremely powerful force that not even the powers we adore and respect most can overpower. Think about it. It's a very easy concept to understand, and a very important concept to know.

      To their credit, though, there is a dance school in that part of Ayer.
