Occasionally, someone sends us an awkward video that we can’t resist sharing. This one comes our friends in Norway…

I live in this town, where it is made. It is called Tønsberg. And this place is called Esmeralda. I mean, this girl is very serious
I laugh everytime I see her 
it is really hard to decipher the hidden message in this song, can anyone help me out?
ahahahahaha this song is on Itunes! I am so tempted to buy it…….
I wish I could say I’m not Norwegian..
Eventually a crappy man will marry this crappy woman and then she’ll be a crappy housewife.
I don’t think she needs to worry about being anybody’s wife. . . ever.
As pathetic as she is, however, it makes you wonder what rung of the social ladder those who follow her around in this video are on.
I don’t want, I don’t want to be a really bad disco singer!
What does she mean by “I’m just the pretty girl in a grown-ups body”?
funny thing is near the end of the song, she forgets the words and tries to dance.
“what were those words again?….crabby loused knife, no…. chirpy house wifi, no… damn, this song is so complicated.
LOL!! love it
Like!!
Congratulations! You’re not a crappy housewife! You’re just a crappy singer.
lmao agreed!
Rabecca Black much!?
I feel like this is meant to be a parody… making fun of America. Would not surprise me in the least.
Lydia’s got it. This is a parody on the television shows about Beverly Hills HouseWifes, Dr.Phils Housewifes, Hollywoods Housewifes and what not!
And a damn good parody too!
Oh good! I was really hoping that this was tongue-in-cheek. Phew!
I think it’s really difficult to parody those shows since they are almost a parody of themselves. This is almost redundant.
Eurovision anyone?
I laughed, I cried. Then I laughed so hard I cried.
This is honestly the worst song I’ve ever heard! And I’m from Norway myself, which is almost embarrassing now. The worst part is that she’s absolutely serious. This is an actual attemt for her to become a pop star. Hopefully she will not succeed, and rather ironically end up as a crappy housewife.
Wow, I was actually hoping one of those screaming zombie heads was going to pop up. Anything to make it stop lol
Don’t wanna be a crappy housewife – now that’s funny. I loved it!
I honestly, actually thought she was singing “Grammy housewife,” and thought, “poor sweetie, there’s nothing related to Grammys in your future, ever.”
I need this on iTunes stat!!
Oh good god. What’s most tragic is that there is no way to UN-HEAR THIS!!!!!! My brain is branded, particularly by that horrific attempt at a high note towards the end of the song. It DOES motivate me to get my butt of the computer and go clean my living room. Cuz…”I don’t wanna be, i don’t wanna be a crappy house WIIIIIFE!!!” GAH!! It’s not even any better when used in a jokey way…..
I totally agree. This horrible song is now imprinted in my brain. Trust me, if you watch Charlie Brooker’s bit on YouTube regarding Britannia High, you’ll have the same problem with his rendition of “Where’s the Paper”.
I may have to try and drink the memory away.
oh great, six months of therapy down the drain… and i had just gotten rid of those annoying voices in my head…
So instead of a “crappy house wife”, she chose to be a crappy singer……good choice!
she most likely doesn’t want to be a housewife, as she thinks that sounds like a crappy life. (she’d rather be out partying all night and never marry unless it’s a sugardaddy??)
ugh. sadly this is how a lot/most people go clubbing in Norway…dressed like that, pretending to be “glamorous” …at whatever sweaty nightclub they’re in.
And have you been at a club in Norway lately…?
I thought she was signing that she didn’t want any “crappy house wine”…..
LOVE IT!!!!
“Crappy House Wine!” That’s funnier than the song. I can’t stop laughing! That’s so much deeper than “crappy house wife.”
I’m afraid that a “crappy” housewife is the only kind she’s likely to be. Fortunately, that would still be an improvement over her singing/songwriting career, which I fervently pray to God is OVER!
hilarious.. although musically it’s awesome.
The Rebecca Black of Norway.
Does she know there are other ways to go being a housewife? It doesn’t have to be crappy. There’s the Psychotic Housewife, the Happy Housewife, the Drunk Housewife…there are so many choices.
WIN!
So much win.
I think I’ve translated the opening lines:
“Aye. My name is Tone Deaf. I’m only a pretty girl trapped inside of a girl who likes barley.”
So … maybe what she means is she would be a crappy housewife if there was more beer involved.
(Scary how even Auto-Tune can’t fix this hot mess.)
Oh my gosh…it totally sounds like she says “Tone Deaf.” Hahahhahaha.
Remind me never to go clubbing in Norway, ’cause those men cannot dance. Also her voice hurts my ears, blah.
Well, I thought she was saying “crabby housewife” throughout the whole thing. ‘Cause if there’s one thing that WON’T make you crabby, it’s blowing off the laundry and dinner to go clubbing while the kids are at school! My money is on the fact that she IS a housewife! I’m going to go look for my black push up bra and hairspray right now…
I don’t wanna be a crappy housewife, but a crappy pop “star”? Yeah, I can do that.
I’ll sing this while i do the housework
HAHA, YES!
I need to remember that when I get married and am doing chores. Perrffeeccttt.
Of even as our first-dance at the wedding.
Hahahahaha, this is great.
I’m stealing both of these ideas. My future husband will love me for it.
My take on this is that she thinks the life of a housewife is not glamorous and she wants to have a glamorous life. And she thinks being a housewife is crappy and does not want to be a crappy housewife, it’s the glamorous life she wants. Well honey, you better stick with your day job, cause you ain’t gonna have a career as a singer. If you want a glamorous or rich lifestyle, you better find yourself a sugar daddy.
LOL.
Funny, i thought it was the other way round. That she really wanted to become a GOOD housewife. Like those people who have the perfect house, freshly baked food from the oven and really nice flower arrangements. Bascially a housewife from one of those magazine homes ?
Exactly Bella! She just won’t settle for less!
You know when something is so bad, it’s good?? This is just bad.
totally bad LOL
So instead, she settled for being a crappy singer….
In total agreement with you. LOL She better stick with her day job.
That’s what I was going to say!
My kids keep asking me, “what video is this parodying?” They’re appalled when I say, “NONE!” I’m sorry Rebecca Black for anything I’ve ever said about ‘Friday’.
I think I’ve found my anthem. Sing it loud and sing it proud girls!
I hear ya, I’m totally in love with this song!!!
“I don’t want…I don’t want…to be a crappy housewife”. (FIST PUMP!!!)
LOL! It got Soooooo much better when the Norwegian Beastie Boys rapped it!
It is a gift that gave untill it hurts!
What’s with these terrible songs with terrible lyrics!!?? Do people really not recognize their limits! I can’t write songs, therefore, I do not write songs!
New on Bravo this fall – The Real Housewives of Norway!
Lol!
Um, excuse me, you better re-name that The Real Non-Crappy Housewives of Norway!!! LMAO!!!!
Well….there’s 3:27 wasted that I’ll never get back. With that in mind:
1) If this is how the rest of the world perceives America then I’m gagging.
2) What’s a 70′s corvette doing in Norway?
3) I’m suddenly proud of the “Lip Dub” video that my home town city just made.
Am I the only one who wishes there were subtitles? Or should I be GLAD I couldn’t catch all of it?
you should be happy you didn’t catch it all.
))
Wait, I’m confused – does she not want to be a housewife because its crap, or is she actually saying she wants to be a really good housewife (not a crap one) ahh the mysterious Norwegians…
I wondered the same thing. I also wondered if this is a genuinely bad video or if this is made be people who know how to make an intentionally bad video.
The subtle nuiance of this song confounds me. Perhaps there is a double meaning? In general, she considers housewifery crap, but if/when she becomes one, she intends to excel at it.
This was so horrible, but for some reason it made me laugh. Mostly at her, but a laugh is a laugh.
It sounds to me like she wants to be good housewife material, avoiding becoming a crappy housewife.
Love your picture. Jane Austen is my hero.
I wish I had my own personal rappers to repeat whatever I say!
Yes!! hahah that was my favorite part.
WIN!
“I know a guy who knows a guy who’ll let us use his nightclub for 2 hours on a tuesday afternoon”.
Perfect!
hahaha
Honestly, I think the key change at the end made the whole thing work.
I actually laughed out loud at that point. It was so…..epic.
I realize now, through the sobbing tears of regret, that I have wasted my life in the pursuit of housewifery. On one hand I’ve felt overwhelming guilt about not doing the job as well as Martha Stewart or any one of the housewives on reality TV…but on the other hand I could have shoved my girls in a push up bra, showed up to the club in fake fur, and watch the mesmorizing colored light wine glass show!
What I’m sure of is that my skillz in laundry stain removal will come in useful in any walk in life. Crappy housewife or duck lipped poser. The whole night can be saved knowing that you dab and blot instead of rub!
Amen to that sister!
Pfft, the posers will never understand, will they?
LOL–I rather fancy myself as a kind of super hero. I gotz mad sandwich makin’ skillz, too!
Funny!
That’s bad. And boring. But not awkward.
I agree, CR.
I agree. Why was this posted here???!!! Just bad, not funny, not awkward.
It sounds to me like she’s saying she doesn’t want to be a “crappyhouse wife.”. So don’t marry a crappyhouse?
Clearly, that is *not* a regulation-sized limousine. Marnie’s going to have lots to say about this.
Also, crossbows.
LOL!!!
