Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Album Filler: "Til depotet" from the Evig pint album is most often accused of being this. It has even been partly disowned by Ottesen himself.
And the Fandom Rejoiced: The surprise announcement of Våre demoner, on which were included songs of which only a small number of fans had heard demo or low quality live versions, some dating back to the very earliest days of the band's existence.
Conversely, there was an even smaller grouping of die hard fans who were disappointed to see what they considered to be "secrets found a little off the beaten track" become available to anyone and everyone.
Crazy Awesome: It might as well be the name of the band.
To start, the band considers an oil drum and a crowbar a percussion instrument. And their pump organist occasionally wears a gas mask.
Epic Riff: Plenty. "Ompa til du dør", "Maestro", "På ditt skift", "170", the list goes on...
Ho Yay: Plenty between most of the members of the band. Janove has kissed (at least) two of his bandmates on-stage. And they're most of them married men, make of it what you will.
Indecipherable Lyrics: Often considered this, even by fellow Norwegians, due to their quirky dialect.
Misattributed Song: "Venner for livet", a song by fellow Norwegian group Postgirobygget, circulates on peer-to-peer networks, where it is attributed to Kaizers Orchestra. The group have expressed frustration with this, even going as far as to label the song "a piece of shit."
Painful Rhyme: Janove and Geir's songwriting have both been accused of this by both fans and critics.
The most Egregious example is surely "Toxic blod", in which the word "mean" is used to rhyme with "nitroglyserin"; as in the untranslated English word "mean" used in a Norwegian language song. It doesn't even have slang status.
Tear Jerker: "170", "Bris" and "Die Polizei", to start. Possibly "Gruvene på 16", if only because of the melody and the weary way Janove sounds.
In Real Life, the owner of Kaizers Orchestra's then-record label, Remo Rehder, begun crying upon first hearing the instrumental outro of "Drøm hardt (Requiem part I)".
