Shu-bi-dua (album)
Shu•bi•dua or Shu-bi-dua is a Danish pop group that was formed in 1973 in Copenhagen, as an expansion of the group ''Passport''. Throughout their 40-year history, Shu-bi-dua changed their lineup many times, however their lead singer was with the band throughout, except for a gap between 1984 and 1987. They have produced many well-known hits in Denmark, like ''Vuffeli-vov'', ''Hvalen Hvalborg'', ''Står på en Alpetop'', ''Stærk Tobak'' (to the music from the Phil Medley and Bert Russell song ''Twist and Shout''), ''Familien kom til Kaffe'', ''Sexchikane'', ''We wanna be free'', and many more. Their musical style owed much to folk and Central European schlager, but the core was always light rock. However, like "Weird Al" Yankovic, their musical styles could cover a wide range depending on the lyric or the song being covered. They are the Danish band with most selling albums in Denmark, more than 6 million per 2022. Notable characteristics were word plays and humour, but als ...

Jacob Christoffersen
Jacob (; ; ar, يَعْقُوب, Yaʿqūb; gr, Ἰακώβ, Iakṓb), later given the name Israel, is regarded as a patriarch of the Israelites and is an important figure in Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jacob first appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel. According to the biblical account, he was the second-born of Isaac's children, the elder being Jacob's fraternal twin brother, Esau. Jacob is said to have bought Esau's birthright and, with his mother's help, deceived his aging father to bless him instead of Esau. Later in the narrative, following a severe drought in his homeland of Canaan, Jacob and his descendants, with the help of his son Joseph (who had become a confidant of the pharaoh), moved to Egypt where Jacob died at the age of 147. He is supposed to have been buried in the Cave of Machpelah. Jacob had twelve sons through four women, his ...
