open.spotify.com/track/66MuV7...
Music and lyrics by: Martin Jarl Velsin, Sam Norris, Jonah Hitchens and Vebjørn Mamen
Production: @samnorrismusic
It’s just a few days until the Norwegian Eurovision and we’re performing our song Prohibition!
These lyrics (see below) are of course inspired by the Prohibition Era in the 1920s in the States. Politicians enforced in 1920 the 18th Amendment to the U.S Constitution which banned the manufacture of alcohol!
During the so called Roaring Twenties people started making secret parties at speakeasies dancing lindy hop and charleston and the early jazz continued to evolve. Many have probably also read the famous Great Gatsby book that highlights the positivity of the decade and the freedom to dress, dance and play the music they wanted - which also gave the 20s the name «Jazz Age».
One of the symbols of the Roaring Twenties were the flappers: Young ladies exploring their freedom; smoking, drinking, dancing and dressing in ways the society deemed vulgar - and they started to vote!
This song is about fighting for your rights to be who you want to be and act the way you want to act. Even though the story is set in the Prohibition Era, the fight to express yourself and who you are is still important in todays society.
We are very excited to show this on National Television this Saturday on Eurovision!

LYRICS:
Intro:
Well hello, Ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the party
Let me present to you the incredible Swing’it!
Verse 1:
Down in the town there’s a secret place
Where people are dancing to the drum and bass
Swingers are swingin’, flappers flying high
Baby it’s a roaring time
So leave your inhibitions at the door
Get your feet up on the floor
Chorus:
It’s Prohibition, dance into the night
The politicians, they took away our rights
We’re on a mission, to keep it out of sight
I’ll tell you why, cause we’ll never stop to fight for what is right
Pa-pa-party, pa-party, pa-pa-party, tell the world of it
Pa-pa-party, party till the break of day
Verse 2:
If you’re looking to have a good time baby follow my lead
I can help you be what you wanna be
Oh-oh, flying high
Baby we can touch the sky
So leave your inhibitions at the door
Get your feet up on the floor
Chorus:
It’s Prohibition, dance into the night
The politicians, took away our rights
We’re on a mission, to keep it out of sight
I’ll tell you why, cause we’ll never stop to fight for what is right
Pa-pa-party, pa-party, pa-pa-party, tell the world of it
Pa-pa-party, party till the break of day - เพลง

Congratulations. I really rutted for you. There is not a better music genera then 1920’s Jazz. Your part was quite dapper. Dere var og er de beste. Fortsett sånn, og dere vil bli verdenskjente (dere burde det ihvertfall , etter min mening). Lykke til i finalen, og kos dere masse. Hilsen Georg

Please bring it to bandcamp or somewhere where I can buy it.
Good idea! We'll get it up there soon!
It's on Bandcamp now!
@@swingit3191 Just purchased it!
Elsker konseptet, men tror dere trenger å ha med mye mer av det dere har i denne videoen på scenen for å vinne finalen
Vi skulle gjerne hatt med dansere og masse annet underholdning, men vi kan dessverre ikke være flere på scenen!
Herlig! Elsker låten! 🤩 Fantastisk med en 20-tallslåt siden disse 20-årene ikke akkurat har startet like lystig som de forrige...
Forrige 20-tall startet også med spanskesyken, så mye paralleller her;)
@@swingit3191 Ja, det har du helt rett i!
early winning pov
Playing this while my Family are drinking Alcohol (I don't drink them btw)
They turned into water :)
Fr, I hope this at least gets to the final. Best of luck!
If this doesn’t qualify I’m gonna be mad af
Hope you feel better now;)
Im hoping you Win today
