Kråkevisa

Kråkevisa ("The Crow Song"), also known as Bonden og Kråka ("The Farmer and the Crow") and Mannen Han Gjekk Seg i Vedaskog ("The Man Went Into the Firewood Forest"), is a widespread Norwegian name for a folk song and jocular ballad spread over all of Scandinavia.

Kråkevisa was sometimes sung by two people as a duel song, where the loser was the one who forgot the verses, or was not able to come up with new verses.

Variants are also known in Danish, Faroese, and Swedish.

[1] An 8-minute-long animation film Kråkevisa was released in 1962.

It was directed by Wilfred Jensenius to a version of the song by Alf Prøysen and produced by Kommunenes Filmcentral A/S.
