Chalk it up to Early Installment Weirdness, I guess?
A Wild Rapper Appears!: "En for orgelet, en for meg", of which there are no less than four variations, each with the bridge performed by a different internationally known rap artist (though "rap artist" may not be the best descriptor for the little girl performing on the album version).The crowd kept singing the chorus of "Die Polizei", the very last song of the set, for damn near ten minutes after the band walked off the stage. The all-time greatest occurrence of this was at their special anniversary concert in Oslo Spektrum in 2011.The band tends to leave most refrains and call-and-response parts to the audience, at least on songs that are relatively well-known: Some songs will have the audience singing along on the entire song, prompted or no. Go to most Kaizers concerts (at least domestically) and you figure out pretty quickly that the band could probably do without their vocalist half of the time.Audience Participation: At one special event for a hundred fans, they invited one fan to play drums on "Knekker deg til sist".Arc Words: If you don't know about the mafia-based backstory (and sometimes, even if you do), just about any proper noun can become one.Animated Music Video: " Mann mot mann " (NSFW).Songs set early in the chronology are as likely to be found on the first album as they are the second or third. Always present, but the Violeta trilogy really takes it Up to Eleven. Alternative Rock: Though they seem to dislike being labeled as such, adhering to the old adage "alternative to what?".All Drummers Are Animals: Quite literally: Rune's Stage Name is "Mink".The title of Ompa til du dør is featured both in the lyrics for the title song and the last chorus of "Resistansen".Sometimes it even gets dropped as a song title!.
(Bear in mind that "Kenneth" is still a relatively unusual given name in Norway.)
