It's official: Wig Wam is back to Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix 2025. So they have a chance to return to the Eurovision stage. Rock & Roll really never dies...
I remember being in front of the TV bored to death with the other songs and then ... this came up. Almost 20 years afterwards, and I still looked it up. Great song, great performance.
In 2005 I traveled from Canada to Europe for the 1st time... I had never heard of Eurovision. I watched all the bands and artists, thinking "Ok well I get this is certainly not a rock contest " until WigWam came on the tv. Holy moley they rocked my world and to this day I think they should've won!!!!
MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE EUROVISION SONG EVER! i was only 5 while watching with my family but this song literally stayed with me all my life, truly amazing
As a rock fan i was fascinated by this song, and despite the fact i haven't heard it since the actual show was on air, the song's hook is so strong, i remembered it till now! So glad to find this video. I'd better not play it on loop if i want to sleep well) Great performance, Wig Wam!
I’ve never been a Eurovision fan, but saw this on the ESC as a teen and have never forgotten it. Just looked it up again after 17 years and I still love it.
I have no idea why this song was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning, but boy am I glad I did. Such a forgotten gem, and what a banger!
Well no he used a 2010 song of theirs called “do you really wanna taste it” The problem with this song is he screeches it a bit and isn’t nearly as much of an earworm like the one used for Peacemaker.
Estonia was also robbed of the victory in 2009.. Randajad was by FAR my favourite. Still an awesome song in 2022 and such a stronger song than our fiddler than won.
After having left behind ESC 2021, I traveled back to my memory for the rock songs in ESC history. Here I am again after so many years. It was my favorite back then, unforgettable
Rock & Roll is meant to be bombastic and unashamed. Wig Wam embody these things perfectly. I love this band, and thank "Peacemaker" and James Gunn for introducing me to them. :-D
They should have won in 2005 (9th place was a joke), and should have been the first rock song to win ESC. They paved the way for Lordi and Måneskin. Norway is always underrated. 🙄
I'm so happy this appeared in "Peacemaker" It's my winner in 2005 and among my favourite rock songs ever in ESC and there are so many amazing rock entries from ESC too 🤩🦅
@@crazydude2361 Episode 7. If you haven't watched, there's another Wig Wam song in the fantastic opening credits. HUGE recommend (and not just for the excellent soundtrack!)
Only just discovered this amazing Band over the last 6 months, their catalog of songs is pretty damn good, wrong decade, but I will never knock back good RnR anytime. A Fan from Down Under!
Funny that there were FOUR rock songs in the 2005 final. Switzerland, Russia, Germany and this one. Not sure if the Moldovan can be called a rock song?
That's why I love ESC 2005, Ruslana's victory led to what can only be described as the Rock Exploision. Norway, Switzerland, Slovenia (sadly, didn't make it to the final), Moldova, Hungary, Albania to the extent and many more. And yeah, the rock wave even hit Russia and Germany. I'm Russian and I'm really sad that this is the only rock entry in a traditional sense we've ever sent
2005 was a great year for Euovision. Norway and Switzerland rocked the house, and probably made way for Lordi to enter and win in 2006. 'ROCK'N'ROLL REVOLUTION!!' :-D
The best song ever to have graced Eurovision. This Song Should have won the competition in 2005. I'm from the land down under and watched this on TV at that time, & still listen to it today.
Norway,the best esc country!!! Great entries every year with no expectation. Amazing song,my second favorite from the 2005 contest.. With one word:EPIC
I've had this chorus going inside my head for like 10 years, and I couldnt figure out where the hell I heard it. I tried googling whatever lyrics i remembered, but nothing. Just found an app yesterday that let me whistle the song, and It would find matches. And finally, hahaha. What a relief lmao - makes sense too, as I'm a big ESC fan
I was 6 years old when this happened... and hearing this makes me feel a lot of nostalgia! This is the first Eurovision moment that I can remember! When I was 6, this song was on the radio in Norway all the time! It was around the time that I started to develop sleep problems for the first time, and I remember one time when there was a party next door. I couldn't sleep, and the party måde that problem worse... they were playing mostly pop songs, but around 2 AM they played this song, and they played it over and over again! I was lying in my bed, smiling and singing along! I can't describe how good it is to hear this song after all these years! I still love it just as much as I did back then, and I can still remember the lyrics! I cannot, however, see how this is "glam rock", as it bears no resemblance to the real thing with David Bowie, T.Rex, Slade, Sweet, Queen etc, but anyway og it's not real glam, it IS fucking good and I am proud that my country sent this one to Eurovision! It's probably the best ESC song ever!
I actully met the singer in Wig Wam also know as Åge Sten Nilsen last monday, since hes touring in Norway now by himself and he just happen to have a consert in the small city where i live, meeting him was like a dream coming true, i even got a autograf on my phone so yeah it was truly a amazing day.
I still remember and listen to this from time to time, 19 years later. I imagine if this was released in the 80s, as is with their other songs, they'd be globally famous.
I love these guys I was so happy to discover them a couple of months ago via the soundtrack for peacemaker we haven't had this kind of good music like this here in the United States in many years. These guys are amazing the new album's great too Long Live Wig Wam
It's official: Wig Wam is back to Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix 2025. So they have a chance to return to the Eurovision stage. Rock & Roll really never dies...
And so are Bobbysocks, it's a wild year to be sure!
Still think that this is the most underrated song in esc history
Absolutely!
I feel with you man, im from norway and not many people know this song.
Yes
My top from 2005
1.Norway
2.Malta
O ya.
Never a wrong time to rock!
This is my jam. You know, this is back when men were real men because they weren’t afraid to be women.
@@johnnycincocero hmm
Maybe at a funeral?
💯💥
@@AngelusNielson you missed the joke... it's a quote from a show.
I honestly think this could've won today.
And ... you were right :)
it should've won then
It should, becouse it's really good music. Better than today winners can do.
Most people who watch eurovision dont´t really appreciate good rock songs. They want some typical pop that plays in the radio.
Thank god they’re finally getting the credit thanks peacemaker for introducing me to them! This is so nostalgic it’s so amazing
I remember being in front of the TV bored to death with the other songs and then ... this came up. Almost 20 years afterwards, and I still looked it up. Great song, great performance.
This song was so epic that it was better than some 80s rock hits.
Petar Mihajlović which hits? This song is amazing, but it’s not nearly as good as 80’s rock.
Nope. I bet it would be one of the weaker songs of that time.
Ripoff after Bon Jovi - Living on a prayer.
@Andrei Piatra, you cant possibaly compare this song to live it on the prayer its completely diffrent!!!
Absolutely but maybe it was a bit dated to compete in 2005, not that I care because I absolutely LOVE this song!
Nobody does rock and metal as good as Norway these days. Underrated band here in the states
Eh, Sweden definitely gives them competition, but yeah the Nordic countries dominate when it comes to metal.
In 2005 I traveled from Canada to Europe for the 1st time... I had never heard of Eurovision. I watched all the bands and artists, thinking "Ok well I get this is certainly not a rock contest " until WigWam came on the tv. Holy moley they rocked my world and to this day I think they should've won!!!!
This guy sang it better live at ESC than in the studio version... his voice is just unreal here.
This is WAAAAAAAAAY better than studio version, which means that this guy has a GODLIKE voice. DAMN!
Peace.
2005 I was 7 years old, and this one is one of the very few I remember that year. So good!
Saaaaaame
Me 25 years old 😊😊😊
One of the most epic songs in ESC history and one the best norwegian entries in the contest,we need more rock songs like this!!
Εμείς να δω πότε θα στείλουμε καμιά γνήσια ροκιά κι όχι την Άννα Βίσση να χτυπιέται στα πατώματα με το Everything I am :p
Never a wrong time to ROCK
Peacemaker 😎😜
Thank you for the comment nr 500
After 17 years I am here!!!!This is underrated masterpiece
MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE EUROVISION SONG EVER! i was only 5 while watching with my family but this song literally stayed with me all my life, truly amazing
An 80s glam rock song in the 00s. And it works. I love it. It shows that different is not always bad. Do what you like and do it good.
We need more songs like this
George Austin Tay I miss rock in Eurovision
Agree with you, my friend)
Butterfly - Fate
George Austin Tay lordi from Finland bro
George Austin Tay we need Eurovision of 2005 back!!! We need 2005 back!!!
This song is totally awesome🥰
As a rock fan i was fascinated by this song, and despite the fact i haven't heard it since the actual show was on air, the song's hook is so strong, i remembered it till now! So glad to find this video. I'd better not play it on loop if i want to sleep well) Great performance, Wig Wam!
2022 checking in. They played this song in the HBO show "Peacemaker"
Same lol
they played so many good songs there, i literally had chills whenever something familiar came up. good taste of whoever decided on ost.
still amazing in 2024 ❤❤❤
Ahh, I’m childhood :’) I was such a fan
Same, I was only 8 years old but I bought their album that summer!
I was 10 but it's still awesome
Nice song Norway 🤘🤘
Greetings from Greece
I’ve never been a Eurovision fan, but saw this on the ESC as a teen and have never forgotten it. Just looked it up again after 17 years and I still love it.
The first Eurovision I watched, loved this one so much I bought their album. Love from Denmark
Same for me! It was the first one and I also got the album. Still remember Norway and Switzerland 😄
Before Lordi and Maneskin won the contest, there was Wig Wam. Amazing performance \m/
And this song is clearly the best of those three ✌
I have no idea why this song was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning, but boy am I glad I did. Such a forgotten gem, and what a banger!
Make Eurovision Rock Again =D
Heydavid17 agree
yes!! like in year 2007 :D
I loved Cyprus' song from 2016! I know it wouldn't win, but I hoped it at least would do better than it did.
Lordi won with record points
Japek34 Lordi won in 2006.
Still giving me the vibes in 2021! .love this song.could have easily won ESC...
James Gunn just proved in 2022 why this song should've won in 2005.
Well no he used a 2010 song of theirs called “do you really wanna taste it”
The problem with this song is he screeches it a bit and isn’t nearly as much of an earworm like the one used for Peacemaker.
@@razerow3391 He used this song in the penultimate episode too, in an awesome scene too.
I still love this song and performance, 12 years later in 2017! Absolutely my favorite Eurovision entry of all times! :) I love those guys :)
2005 was my first year and this was my favourite back then, and it still is 12 years later! Nostalgia
Estonia was also robbed of the victory in 2009.. Randajad was by FAR my favourite. Still an awesome song in 2022 and such a stronger song than our fiddler than won.
Listening to this song till this day.
Such an awesome song!
Much love from Israel 🇮🇱🇳🇴
I really want to see him again in eurovision ❤
Eurovision_girl 7 He's back in the national final with another band and a song called Wrecking crew!! :)
I really like wrecking crew! I have my hopes up that they might represent Norway this year!
I am so happy! He is back!!! "WE ARE THE WRECKING CREW"❤
Ammunition unfortunately finished 2nd in Norway's national final :(
Eurovision_girl 7 Who?!
one of the greatest songs on Eurovision!

As always been.
Wig Wam crawled so those band could walk
Paved the way for sure.
They couldn't beat helena paparizou, but the could have been 2nd. Recently I have discovered it and listening to it!
They still have my heart
I'm so happy this appeared in "Peacemaker"
It's my winner in 2005 and among my favourite rock songs ever in ESC and there are so many amazing rock entries from ESC too 🤩🦅
What episode?
@@crazydude2361 i honestly don't remember 😅
@@crazydude2361 Episode 7. If you haven't watched, there's another Wig Wam song in the fantastic opening credits. HUGE recommend (and not just for the excellent soundtrack!)

2005 was a great year for Euovision. Norway and Switzerland rocked the house, and probably made way for Lordi to enter and win in 2006. 'ROCK'N'ROLL REVOLUTION!!' :-D
also Moldova with their ska-punk Granny
Good year indeed:)
Najjaca stvar sa eurovizije ♥️
Best eurovision song ever played 🤘
Well... Latvia 2008 comes 1st for me😅
I've always been a Eastern European Funk kinda guy.
No
Non c'est Marie Myriam, L'enfant et l'oiseau 1977 😂
One of the best songs on esc ever
12 years later,still love this song!
In my opinion this is one of the most important songs in Eurovision history!
As a greek I was disappointed that my country won and not Wig Wam. So epic
Greece won in 2004 not 2005
@@demetrisvellianitis 2004 was Ukraine, and Greece was in 2005. Check it up
Same here!
As you should be
Same here
One of the best eurovision songs ♡
Extremely underrated performance! They were the best that year, there is no confusion there. Awesome band and song!
The best song ever to have graced Eurovision. This Song Should have won the competition in 2005. I'm from the land down under and watched this on TV at that time, & still listen to it today.
This should have won eurovision 2005
This gives me LIFE!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Norway,the best esc country!!!
Great entries every year with no expectation.
Amazing song,my second favorite from the 2005 contest..
With one word:EPIC
This band would've been a hit in the 80s
I've had this chorus going inside my head for like 10 years, and I couldnt figure out where the hell I heard it. I tried googling whatever lyrics i remembered, but nothing. Just found an app yesterday that let me whistle the song, and It would find matches. And finally, hahaha. What a relief lmao - makes sense too, as I'm a big ESC fan
Wow really. Whats the apps name?
This song is 19 years old and it's still that great of a song
it is now 19 years since this masterpiece and I still think its the most underrated song in esc history
Amazing!!! 18 years later and still couldn't forget the amazeness of this song!!!❤
this sounds better than ever
Im greek but this is beyond good, it should have won!
Ώστε... Παντού υπάρχουν Έλληνες!
*Came here after it was announced that they will participate at Melodi Grand Prix 2025 and 99% will represent Norway in Basel!* 😀🔥🤘🎸🥁
Remember this well. I was so shocked they didn’t win. It was the best thing ever.
I cant believe that already 15 years have passed since this amazing entry.
I have a kind spot for rock songs.
I really should check out their stuff
Eurovision 2025: The Return of Wig Wam. Make it happen, Norway. ❤
Well, now we have Gåte.
Absolutely excellent song
This song was way too underestimated at the time and much better than 2006 winner...
Underestimated? It was the favourite to win the whole thing before the contest
Lordi is just a clowns
Yep, this song ended as nr 9,lordi won a year later with a song not as good as this. Doesnt make much sence..
It's thanks to this entry that Lordi broke through Eurovision the next year.
I was 6 years old when this happened... and hearing this makes me feel a lot of nostalgia! This is the first Eurovision moment that I can remember!

Damn I never knew Wig Wam is Norwegian! Great to see some old school glam on the show ! Cheers from Funland
I love these guys I was so happy to discover them a couple of months ago via the soundtrack for peacemaker we haven't had this kind of good music like this here in the United States in many years. These guys are amazing the new album's great too Long Live Wig Wam
Thank you Peacemaker to make me hear that song. Ep 7th of Peacemaker.
Just discovered this band, Now im obsessed 🤘 Hopefully come to Scotland 👍🥃
2020 and still the best! Love you Norway rock on
put this song in 2018 eurovision with all the new tech(lights, pyrotech etc) and a place in the top 5 would be sure .
Yep Måneskin confirmed this 😂
This makes me wish we had an 80's themed ESC soon! Love it!
I wach eurovision starting 2005 😄 and every efing year i wate for a song like this. Still waiting :D love them
OMG I did not know this was an eurovision song. Thanks to Peacemaker show for reintroducing this song to popularity.
Never a wrong time to ROCK!!
still remember and still loving this!!
I would have preferred if this won for norway instead of Fairytale. I just find this more catchy and simply epic.
Exactly!
I respect that, but Fairytale is catchy as all hell
It wasn't the same year though...
@@numbo655 yes but i mean i'd prefer if they won with this in 2005 than fairytale in 2009
Agree!
they made the way for Lordi one year later. Made rock a thing in Eurovision
Trying to buy Wig Warm albums but they are so popular the prices are insane.. Thanks Peacemaker.
Real winners ....of eurovision 2005 Great song amazing singer and a cute one too xxx..greece was just RUBISSH.........
Eg har alltid likt Wig Wam og gjer det fortsatt :D Konsertane deiras har alltid vore gode :D Er kjekt at dei har begynt igjen å ha konserter :D
This is gold :D
One of the best songs ever performed on an ESC stage.
This song is in my top 10 Eurovision songs of all time .🥰😛🤘
Oh I remember when I saw it...generally I looooove this rock esthetic, so I was excited they were bringing it back. Rock'n'roll baby!
This used to be my favorite song. I still listen to it.
ROCK'N'ROLL NEVER DIES!!! Damiano is right.. I want something like this back to Eurovision
I didnt know this was a euro vision song. I was surprised when i realised that it didnt make top 3. Amazing song and performance
Still love it !!
