YMMV / Kaizers Orchestra

Go To

  • 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.
  • Crazy Is Cool: 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...
  • Fan Nickname: "Kaizers". Even picked up on by the media, what with the headline-friendliness of the shorter title.
  • 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. Also, have a look-see at the "Kontroll på kontinentet" video.
  • 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." Makes some Unfortunate Implications about Norwegian dialects.
