Dodo and the Dodos


Dodo and the Dodos is a Danish pop band that became a hit with Danish radio stations in the 1980s with its songs "Vågner i natten", "Sømand af verden", "Vi gør det vi ka' li", "Lev livet nu", and "Pigen med det røde hår". "Lev livet nu" was used by TV 2 Sport during the coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics.
The lead singer, Dodo Gad, also recorded the football song "Re-Sepp-Ten" for the 1986 FIFA World Cup; with Steen Christiansen as producer and studio musician, Jens Rud as studio technician, and Anders Valbro. Twelve years later, Dodo again recorded a song for the finals, which was not as great of a success but has nevertheless become a classic in Denmark. In 2009, Dodo and the Dodos created a rally song called "Ren Fysik & Kærlighed" for the L2009 tournament which was held in Holbæk.
Dodo and the Dodos have released six albums, the last of which was in 2008. The band is still a popular live band, and often plays at festivals and outdoor concerts throughout Denmark. The band has sold over 1.5 million albums, and is thus one of the best-selling Danish groups to date.
