The Norwegian guy, Geirmund, celebrated his birthday with friends who gave him a special birthday song as their present.Usually these songs tend to be happy tributes, but this one sounded like a funeral hymn, like weeping women, depressing and very, very sad. See Geirmund’s reaction here on the saddest birthday song we’ve ever heard.
His friends performed their own, polyphonic version of an otherwise very cheerful, Norwegian birthday song.
Their version is in minor, minor and more minor. Here they perform it. It does not sound like a a tribute.

It was in a cafe in Oslo this happened. All of the sudden we heard a weeping choir who had transformed the cheerful song to one of the saddest birthday songs, ever.
As we approached the company it was revealed that Geirmund Simonsen celebrated his birthday along with the chorus he is a part of: “Houdini.” See the whole song here – cry or laugh.
