Every once in a while my friend J sends me an email with the subject heading, "What is with your people?" with an article, photo, or video that somehow concerns Scandinavians – or some extremely rough approximation thereof, like Belgians or the Dutch. God forbid he should refer to the Swedes as my people; those are the oppressors! (Note: While there is some factual basis for this, "oppression" is a strong word to use in any discussion of Swedish–Norwegian relations, and I'm only joking.)
Today's edition of What Is with Your People? is priceless. It's the Norwegian band Hurra Torpedo, which plays on kitchen appliances, performing Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

PS -- WTF?
the original song was bad enough but that was awful AND i'll never get back that 3:40 i spent watching it. that show needs a gong.
Sorry HF. You did know it was Bonnie Tyler and that the band is Norwegian and plays on kitchen appliances. How much warning do ya need?
planning a remodel in October, do you think they tour outside of Europe??? We only have kitchenaid rangetop but do have a double mounted oven...
