As a fan of Danish football, I was immediately drawn to the catchy and humorous song “LORDT (Hvor F….. Er Lorden!?)” by ADHD. This song, released in 2018, centers around the Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner and his surprising exclusion from the Danish national team’s roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The Lyrics
The song starts with a catchy introduction mentioning famous Danish footballers such as Christian Eriksen and Nicklas Bendtner. It emphasizes Bendtner’s ability to score goals and expresses disappointment about his absence from the World Cup. The chorus highlights Bendtner’s status as “Hele Danmarks Lord” (Lord of Denmark) while humorously criticizing the Danish national team’s coach, Åge Hareide.
The verses continue the theme of Bendtner’s absence, questioning where he is and expressing disbelief that he was not selected for the World Cup. The lyrics also mention Danish midfielder William Kvist as another player who should have stayed home, implying that the team’s chances of winning the tournament were diminished.
The outro reinforces Bendtner’s previous status as “Hele Danmarks Lord” while lamenting the current situation, describing it as “noget lort” (something crappy) and once again criticizing Åge Hareide.
