 By all accounts, Teigen did not like Carsten Klouman's brass-dominated jazz arrangement; when the song was issued as a record a few weeks after the contest, it was in a rock version with more drums and guitar, a bit of strings and no brass.This version was recorded in Norwegian and English (English lyric by American singer/songwriter David Cooper), it was a huge hit in Norway and was also issued in many other countries.Teigen also recorded a mock-Russian version on his best-selling comedy album "Brakara" with the group Prima Vera; this version had most of the guitars mixed out.
