Streamlined, succinct lyrics. Who else would rhyme cough with Nabokov:
"It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov"

@panzade,
Absolutely - I remember seeing him being interviewed and mentioning a couple who he met that thanked him for writing 'our song' and him thinking 'well you must have really scary relationship'.

Espen Lind, Kurt Nilsen, Alejandro Fuentes and Askil Holm.
I like the gaptooth guy's voice, but designer stubble boy sounds a little like a girl. The audio isn't quite synching up to the vid which distracts me - much better if I minimise and just listen
The gap-tooth guy has an amazing voice. His name is Kurt Nilsen. He won the Norway version of American Idol in 2003, I think. Then he won World Idol the next year. All of the singers are from Norway. I just discovered them.

@hingehead,
Here is designer stubble boy (Alejandro Fuentes) doing a solo. I didn't like his voice at first either, but it grew on me.

I wonder how many people joined a band because they discovered they shared a mother - the unknowing siblings were both in recording bands at the time - Kathryn Calder in Immaculate Machine and Carl Stewart in the New Pornographers. That's going in my trivia database.
but I have seen him interview her. Graham Norton is one of my guilty pleasures
