Music from Norway – Anders Nilsen
Anders Nilsen is a Norwegian singer, producer and comedian. The song “Salsa Tequila” is the result of it: a dance beat within some non-sens made up a #1 hit! As he says himself he doesn’t speak spanish – he just mixes different words. Very nice one, with a great cover potential!

Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring
Boiled alive for some Gods stocking
Buddha’s watching, Buddha’s waiting
Just because the kid’s an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People don’t forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn’t mean that she’s your better
Once more with the voice of Buddha
He’ll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
He’ll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
