 From the lyrics, it seems that he frequently "has someone on the side" and chases after many girls at once, however Sparboe appears optimistic that he will give up his philandering ways at some point in the future - at which point she sings that "I'll have a party/And I will be the only guest".From the lyrics, it is far from clear when or why the boyfriend should lose interest in other women, and the song was attacked in a live TV broadcast by a professor of literature, Erling Nilsen, who felt "Oj, oj, oj" was the only good thing in the lyrics.The song's failure in the contest, coupled with Norwegian sales of 50,000 copies, gave some vindication to both sides in the ensuing debate, which filled Norwegian newspapers for much of the summer of 1969.
