Watch & Listen: Norwegian Pop Deliciousness!

9/19/2010 4:40 PM ET | Filed under: Listen To This • Joe McElderry • Donkeyboy

If you take Fleetwood Mac and marry them with Mika you'd get Donkeyboy.

Their debut single, Ambitions, is so delightfully catchy that X Factor UK winner Joe McElderry is doing a cover of the song as his first single in the UK!

Check out Donkeyboy's Ambitions (above)!

the sound is alright, but he looks like an idiot. brush his hair, and look like you actually care about being presentable.

This is nothing like fleetwood mac….you say that, and it gets our hopes up, and then it just sounds comparatively ultra-mediocre.

Re: Obnoxious_Joe – She was never a part of the band, they just asked her to join in on two songs. Ambitions and Somebody.

Re: newgirlinoslo –
As a US citizen I am not up to date on the Norwegian rock scene. I only know what I have seen/heard on Youtube. She was a great addition to the band anyway.

OMG - Joe has slaughtered this song - What the hell was he thinking!

Donkeyboy are a fab Norwegian band and it's a shame they've not yet managed to break the UK market. I'm actually in this video - a 80's theme hence the bands slightly unusual appearance and yes that it Tobias Mead from Britains Got Talent! The band is great with or without Linnea Dale (the female guest artist). Donkeyboy rocks …. unfortunately Joe does not!

I really like this song. And Donkeyboy. And Linnea Dale. I also like Joe's version, he just sped things up. I think Joe did a good job and I actually do like both versions. It's a feel good song.
