I’ve been playing more with Suno.ai and writing songs. Like last time I posted song lyrics; I wrote the text all on my own with no help from the AI, then fed them into Suno to see what they managed to do.

I might post the actual song later (I need to do a little more editing), but I thought you might enjoy the lyrics. These lyrics are in Norwegian, but for anyone who doesn’t understand my native tongue, I’ll add a translation at the end.

Fair warning: This song is slightly morbid. The first line is one I heard in a play sometime when I was a teenager, and which I’d remembered ever since… so I just kind of took the concept of “the meanest butcher in town” and went with it.

Jeg var den slemmeste slakteren i hele by’n
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Jeg slaktet okser, jeg slaktet svin
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Hvis slaktertrangen ble altfor stor
Så slaktet jeg også min bestemor
Så jeg hadde kjøtt i butikken min
Hei, fara og hopp!

Jeg slaktet hver ku og hver geit og hver hest
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Og min hygiene var slett ikke best
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Med sykdom og skitt, ja det gikk slag i slag
Folk døde som fluer hver eneste dag
For jeg ga dem matforgiftning og pest
Hei, fara og hopp!

Jeg var den slemmeste slakteren i hele by’n
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Og slakterkniven gikk fort som lyn
Hei, fara, fara, fara
Men en dag sa kundene plutselig stopp
Med kniv jagde de meg på taket opp
Nå står jeg her mens de roper “hopp, ditt svin!”
Hei, fara og…
Hopp!

Hopp!

HOPP!

I was the meanest butcher in all the town
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
I butchered all the cows and pigs around
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
If the urge to butcher got too strong
I butchered my grandma, it wasn’t wrong
To have fresh meat I could sell by the pound
Hey ho, hey ho, and hop!

I butchered each cow, and each goat, and each horse
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
And my hygiene wasn’t the best, of course
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
With filth and disease, it was blow after blow
People dropped like flies, didn’t you know
‘Cause I gave them the plague without any remorse
Hey ho, hey ho, and hop!

I was the meanest butcher in all the town
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
My butcher knife would strike fast as sound
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho
But one day the customers banded in drives
And chased me up onto the roof with knives
Now I stand here while they all yell “jump, you clown!”
Hey ho, hey ho, and…
Hop!

Hop!

HOP!
