Norway's many fjords are responsible for the birth of a celebrity. Ella Lockert, with her boundless vitality and undoubted skill, has always been a force to be reckoned with from the day she was born. Imagine a little Ella illuminating the stage as the smallest Santa possible in the song "Putti Plutti Pott." Add to that her singing in the children's chorus at the Norwegian Opera, as well as her unforgettable performance as little Tone in "Carpenter Andersen and Santa," and it is abundantly evident that Ella was always destined to be the centre of attention. Her first EP, "Confusing," which she released in 2021, was more of a statement than a simple introduction. Ella has firmly established herself as a prominent figure in the dream pop scene with the help of songs that cover the gamut of human emotions, ranging from the highs and lows of love to the delicate subtleties of everyday life. With her music, she creates a dynamic tapestry that blends insufferable melodies, sky-high vocals, and meticulous production. Experience the vibrant energy of her sound and immerse yourself in a musical journey unlike any other. The world of digital technology has taken note. Ella's voice has been heard far and wide as a result of the millions of people who listen to her recordings and the coveted slots on prominent playlists. Her music has captured the hearts of esteemed radio stations such as Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing, and French Radio. It's no wonder why they can't get enough of her talent. Take, for instance, "Whisper All My Secrets." This track is not just a song; it's an odyssey of the heart. It delves deep into the complexities of love, capturing the anguish of staying in a relationship that's like "putting a Band-Aid on a bullet hole". [caption id="attachment_11485" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Ella Lockert Takes Us On An Emotional Adventure With 'Whisper All My Secrets'[/caption] The song builds to a strong crescendo, resembling the turbulent trip that the heart goes through, from its gentle beginnings with only a piano and Ella's haunting singing, which are the only instruments present. The ethereal beauty of "Whisper All My Secrets" is undeniable. As Ella's voice weaves effortlessly with shimmering synths and a deep bassline, listeners are transportedᅳinto a realm where music and emotion collide. Ella Lockert is not only a talented artist; rather, she is a phenomenon. It is a blessing for all of us that we are able to see her brilliance as she continues to rise in the world.

Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard / Putti Plutti Pott og julenissens skjegg

This Christmas, my gift to the English-speaking world is amateur English subtitles for 'Putti Plutti Pott og julenissens skjegg' aka 'Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard'.

The background

The musical was written by Per Asplin, a musician and composer whom I believe did some work in Hollywood but is best known in Norway for being a member of The Monn Keys in addition to being the creator of Plottiputt (as PPP is known to his friends).

The original album came out in 1969 and they made a film version in 1970 starring Asplin himself. It is a delightful blend of whimsical, heartwarming, and at points just plain weird in a way only children's media ever truly achieves.

The premise

Putti Plutti Pott is Santa's grandson. One day Santa takes off his magic beard to wash it and hangs it on the stairs to dry. The beard has magic teleportation powers (naturally; how else could Santa visit every child in one night), and Putti Plutti Pott can't resist—he steals the beard and tries it on and is immediately whisked away to emerge from the chimney in Uncle Per's living room.

Uncle Per and an assortment of nieces and nephews befriend Plottiputt and travel back to Elfland with him in a quest to return the beard to Santa in time for Christmas.

Where to watch

You can find the film on Youtube here. Please note I'm just an enthusiastic amateur so don't expect professional quality. Where possible I've been relatively literal as I did the translation for friends who were more interested in getting a sense of what's 'actually' being said rather than fitting the words to music.

Some reasons you should watch Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard

1. Per Asplin

He's so charismatic and fun! Who wouldn't want to hang out at Uncle Per's cabin and listen to him sing about Christmas fairy tales?

2. Santa (Father Christmas)/Julenissen

He has an entire song about wanting his beard back where he repeatedly calls it his 'hocus pocus beard'.

3. The minutes-long sequence where Plottiputt and another elf do interpretive dance at each other in the snow

This is beyond description.

4. The genuinely lovely songs

The music is great and I particularly love the opening number, a sweet and cosy song about the Christmas landscape that references various Norwegian fairy tales and nursery rhymes. You will probably also enjoy Spikke-Sage-Lime-Banke (Chop-Saw-Glue-Knock) and never get it out of your head again, along with Klappeland (Clappingland), a traditional Scandinavian Christmas song for children.

5. Glupe Gløgg

The man, the myth, the legend. Glupe Gløgg is sadly only seen briefly in the truncated film version, but he is a secret agent elf tasked with hunting down and returning Santa's beard. Because he is a spy he disguises himself by wearing sunglasses. Unfortunately no one else in Elfland wears sunglasses, so people always know it's him. I love him and he is doing his best.

This film has changed my life and I need more, more, more!

More, you say?

There's seasonal productions of the musical in Norway in a similar vein to British panto season, so if you're ever there during the Christmas period... this is the kind of thing you might be able to get tickets for.

You can also listen to the soundtrack on Spotify.

Finally, you can try getting hold of the songbook. The songbook is a prose version of the story with all the songs written down (including notation), and includes a lot more material—not least a scene in which a small girl threatens Glupe Gløgg with a knife.

"If you're mean then I'll throw you in the rubbish bin!"

(HE IS DOING HIS BEST.)

In conclusion

Vil du være med så heng på!

God jul og godt nyttår!

Bjellene Klinger from the Christmas musical Putti Plutti Pott by Per Asplin :) 

Because I was reminded about it. I watched it on stage a couple of times when I was little, still love it a lot.

*The picture is from a norwegian children’s musical called Putti Plutti Pott and Santa’s beard. The “or do you have time?” refers to one of the songs from a musical called Spikke-Sage-Lime-Bake (Whittle-Saw-Glue-Bake) where they sing “we don’t have time because we have to look for/find the beard”.
