OneMillionGiraffes.com - Jørgen was wrong!

Written on the 20th of December 2009

The Norwegian/British/Danish band Drunken Butterfly made a song about this project! The singer, Jølle, is a very good friend of mine and we go way back, so the lyrics are a bit about me, as well as the project. I'll be the first to admit that the band isn't for everyone, but I really like them.

The song, named "One Million Giraffes", is really catchy! You can listen to the song by hitting PLAY in the right column or download it for free here.

I bet you'll be singing "ooone miiilliooon giraaaaaaffes" before you know it! And to help you along, here's the lyrics: [I've translated the Norwegian parts]

One million giraffes
One million giraffes

One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes
(Giraffes! Giraffes!)

Ola e min yndlings idiot [Ola is my favourite idiot]
Sjiraffen e min yndlings bob hund [The giraffe is my favourite bob hund]
Agurken e min yndlings frukt [The cucumber is my favourite fruit]
Big one e min yndlings mat [Big one is my favourite food]

So draw him more giraffes
With dots or funny hats
You can even send in two
That would really make him glad
If you're feeling kinda cool
You can make one out of clay
And if it's a really nice day
You should all go out and play

One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes
(Giraffe! Giraffe!)

Ola e min yndlings idiot [Ola is my favourite idiot]
Sjiraffen e min yndlings bob hund [The giraffe is my favourite bob hund]
Agurken e min yndlings frukt [The cucumber is my favourite fruit]
Big one e min yndlings mat [Big one is my favourite food]

You should draw him more giraffes
With dots or funny hats
You can even send in two
That would really make him glad
If you're feeling kinda cool
You can make one out of clay
And if it's a really nice day
You should all go out and play

One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes
One million giraffes

In case you're wondering: "bob hund" is my favourite band of all time. They've been a huge part of my life since 1998. "Big one" is a brand of pizza in Norway.

Giraffe joke

This guy walks into a bar with a giraffe. They both start doing shots, but the giraffe can't hold its liquor and passes out on the floor. The guy pays the tab, gets his coat on and starts to leave. The bartender, gesturing at the giraffe on the floor, says "Hey buddy, whattaya doin', you're not just gonna LEAVE that LYIN' there, are ya?" And the guy goes, "That's not a lion, that's a giraffe!"
