SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  To write a song about -- The Norwegian Moose And His Road Rage -- DATELINE:  OSLO, Norway -- Raymond Johansen isn't sure what to say on his insurance claim after a moose walked across his car and kicked in its windshield this weekend. Johansen and his girlfriend, Kristen, were driving home when they stopped for a moose on the highway. They thought they'd avoided a potentially deadly collision with the moose, which weighted about 400 kilograms (880 pounds); but, no such luck. Johansen recalled shouting "this can't be" when the moose walked across the car's hood and one of its feet came crashing through the windshield. Neither the couple nor the moose was injured. He said the moose may have been enraged by the bright lights of the car. 

There Is A Thing In Norway Land by Áine
(Tune: House Of The Rising Sun) 

There is a thing in Norway land
They call the Road Rage Moose
If you stop, you'll find him starin' you down
On your hood he'll plant his caboose

Well, Mr. J and his Lady K
Their way home one night were headin'
They saw a flash, then heard a crash
A monster in the gloamin'

One foot, it came down on the hood
Another on the roof
The third went right straight into Lady K's lap
The fourth got stuck in the boot

Mr. J was shakin' in his anorak
Lady K was white as a sheet
No encounter with ghosts or aliens
Their tale that night could beat

Well, Mr. J went to the insurance man
To get those moose holes fixed
When he told his tale to the agent there
His policy the company nixed

(slide guitar break here)

And Lady K, she is gone as well
Flown off to Amerikay
But Mr. J just sits and thinks
'Bout big moose burgers all day

There is a thing in Norway land
They call the Road Rage Moose
If you stop, you'll find him starin' you down
On your hood he'll plant his caboose
