Tiden er gået i stå
Hva' er det, vi venter på?
Dine øjne si'r det samme som mine
Så jeg sætter i et dansetrin
Jeg har øvet på hjemmefra
Og be'r til min skaber, at de griber mig

(Et dansegulv)
Rivaler spænder ben og fører krig
(På et, på et dansegulv)
Men hvis du ikke slipper mig, så letter vi

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksnе
Du er kvinden, jeg еr manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Tiden er gået i stå
Din kjole er lyseblå
Du si'r noget, jeg ikk' ka' høre, mens rytmen kører

(På et dansegulv)
Hvor hjerter svulmer op og går itu
(På et danse-dansegulv)
Vi bli'r aldrig mere levende end lige nu

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksne
Du er kvinden, jeg er manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Et dansegulv hvor hjerter svulmer op og går itu
Vi bli'r aldrig mere levende end lige her og nu
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksne
Du er kvinden, jeg er manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden​

Tumblr, mostly.
Oh yeah re: the Monster Twins. Upon being chosen for DMGP they said their inclusion would be INEVITABLE once they had discovered their passion and talent for live performing... by playing singstar at home. :love:

Also their rich-rich-rich Russian-American dad painted their portraits (/had their portraits painted) after they were being born.

I am crushing on the blonde one. Can the other one get out of the way?

omg, the song title is “practice on each other”. I’m in!

øve = üben
på os hinanden = aufeinander

*mind blown”

Maybe it's good for Denmark to stay in the semi and reflect on the MGPs of the last years.
Sure. What do you know about 2022 already?

Love this. My favorite Danish entry since Stemmen i mit liv.
Omg yes that song was amazing. But don’t forget Aud Wilken (1995). And I love their 1988 and 1989 entries.

Denmark is boring mostly but when they camp it up, they are great.







and this song sucked out of the life of „Reflection“ by Bobbie Singer, although in hindsight I am not crazy about it anymore

I'm actually enjoying this a lot! I love the Danish language and it's amazing they will keep it this way. Good job, 7pts from me :)

Just went through the tekster. Am I just a dirty Christian or is there really a deliberate innuendo within the lyrics? Or is just an innocent song about learning to dance?

you are the woman, I am the man.... would you say that to an actual woman?

sorry but if they do that 80's camera thing and go full 80s on the performance.. this will qualify. it's fun in the right way.. they just have to be careful to not make it cringy. because the song is actually good and it's the first time since forever that Denmark sent someone at least a bit relevant to their music scene.

Øve os på hinanden is doing the whole 80s throwback thing that's incredibly popular right now for reasons unknown to me, but what sets this song apart is that we've stepped into an actual time machine. There's nothing here that could tell us that this isn't a Eurovision song ripped straight from the mid 80s, and I actually quite like that about it. Gives it a certain charm and makes me believe these guys are doing this because they love this sort of music rather than are just jumping on a craze (I get this feeling too much from other artists *cough* Raylee). They've gone all out. I don't absolutely adore the song but I find it sweet. Boris has a point though about the mid tempo void they're floating in. 80s music works best when in all out whacky pop mode. I'd prefer it if the song had a bit more spark but it's still an enjoyable listen for me.

:7: points for now.

I don't feel hate (!) about the mid 80's style either, and although the retro concept does contain some kind of irony, I think the two Danish boys honestly enjoy the music. But two things make me critical about "Øve os på hinanden": The chorus is weak, and his live vocal is weak.

Yup, I agree with both negatives there you pointed out. I think it's the chorus really that stops me from liking the song more that I do right now. It's got an enjoyable vibe but it all sort of fizzles out a bit when the chorus hits when that should be the part of the song to get us most excited.

I see that Belarus really splashed out that budget on the staging used for their audition rounds this year. What a fabulous light show.
I enjoyed 'Silver Bullet' even in that bad live version, help me. But I agree that the twins are a tad creepy.

horrible. nothing works about this. It sounds like it would be a submission for 1988 and even then it would've sounded old-fashioned. I don't get the funny part either.
There was a song once in Eurovision that was called "The 80s coming back" and if you're curious how this will fare I think it could be the same outcome.

This one from 1986 is the same style of music, but much better:
