On October 29, 2015, Justin Bieber gave a concert in Oslo.
After one song, Bieber saw a water spill on the stage. He cancelled the show and left the country leaving hundreds of fans in despair.
In 2018 chart-topping Norwegian comedy duo YLVIS investigated the truth behind what happened... through song.
These are their lyrics.
Justin Bieber:
Are you ready for me, Norway
For a superstar inside a private jet
Tonight I'm gonna
set the crowd on fire
Gonna give you
something that you won't forget
Cause I beliebe, I beliebe, I beliebe
you're ready
I beliebe, I beliebe
you're ready for The Bieb
I'm biggest star
that's ever been to Norway
and tonight I'm gonna
make you all beliebe.
Teen:
I am ready for you, Justin
For the best night
of my 16 year old life
I'm gonna be there early
gonna stand in line
and I bet I am the only girl
who made a sign
Got a feeling
you will notice me tonight
And I beliebe, I beliebe, I beliebe
I love you
You're the only one
You're so amazing,
I can't believe that you are real
Am I real? Am I really real?
I beliebe, I beliebe, I beliebe
I beliebe you're perfect
And nothing's gonna change
the way I feel
Cause tonight
gonna be the best night ever
Justin Bieber:
Yes, tonight
I'm gonna blow your minds
Teens:
Cause tonight
He will change our lives forever
Justin Bieber:
I'm changing
a whole lot of teenage lives tonight
News reporters:
Oh my God, have you heard the news?
Justin is in town
He can try to hide, he can try to run
but we're gonna hunt him down
Does he stay at Rica, Scandic,
Continental or The Thief?
He just came from the toilet
Did he poop?
We don't know, but if he did,
it is a super scoop!
"Justin talked to a Norwegian girl"
"Justin learned to say tusen takk"
I can't believe
this is really happening
I'm gonna have a heart attack
Forget those boring stories
about Syrian refugees
We know what you want,
and we'll give it to you
Justin Bieber, please
Justin
Superstar in Norway
Justin
"Justin tasted Norwegian fisk!"
Justin
Superstar in Norway
Grab that camera, get in the car
We gotta get a picture
of the superstar!
Housekeeping:
Attention! Housekeeping
Justin's on his way
Make sure everything is
a hundred percent
So Justin gets a perfect stay
Pillow sweet
Plate of fruit
Norwegian shitting snack
Let's turn the minibar into a maxibar
Brown cheese, porn and crack
Teens:
Tonight we're gonna touch
Justin Bieber's pants
Tonight we're gonna touch his face
And if you try to stand in our way
Don't stand in our way!
Clockmaker:
If Justin wants a Norwegian watch
he can get one here today
No pressure, he can do as he likes,
but if he wants one I am
here, all alone
I am here in my shop by myself
but maybe someday I...

BUT THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS...
Teens:
What's happening?
Where did he go?
Where is he?
What happened to the show?
13 hour bus ride for just one song?
Smiley face, happy cat, party hat
My emojis were wrong
Where did you go?
Why did you stop the show?
Stage-hand:
Is he gone? What's going on?
Will he come back?
Will I get paid?
Moustache man:
What about my afterparty tickets!
Will I still get laid?
Police:
We went on a study trip to London.
This is not our fault.
Teens:
This must be how it was
to be on the Titanic
that night, so afraid and alone
without him
Justin, please come back
Come back on stage,
sing another song
We're in control
I swear, it wasn't me
Am I dreaming?
Thomas Numme:
Rønnis, what is going on?
Moustache man:
I just came here to get laid
for the first time of my life
Teens:
One drop of water
made him stop the show
Where did he go?
Justin Bieber:
Since I was a little boy
I've been on the road
I've always been a superstar
Parties, models, swimming pools
Never went to elementary school,
and now I don't know who I are
Can it be
there's another life out there
where girls don't send me
pictures of their tits?
Yes, I dream
about a quiet, simple life
No limos, no blow jobs, no fans,
no Billboard hits
One day I'm gonna be
an average, boring, ordinary,
normal boy
I'm gonna be an unattractive,
nerdy, poor, and stupid,
normal boy
Normal house
Normal car
Normal espresso machine
Can't wait to be
an ugly, tone deaf, uncoordinated,
normal boy
I could have been a butcher
Butching all day long
Or the guy who drives
that long, long crowded car
Or maybe a construction man
In a giant yellow construction van
with fancy sticks and wheels,
and handlebars
Yes, I feel
this is the perfect life for me
So much better than crying in hotels
I don't need
my luxurious shitting chair
I can shit in bags
like everybody else
One day I'm gonna be
an average, boring, ordinary,
normal boy
I'm gonna be an unattractive,
nerdy, poor, and stupid
normal boy
Normal hat
Normal bike
Normal flat screen TV
Can't wait to be
an ugly, tone deaf, uncoordinated,
normal boy
One day I'm gonna be
an average, boring, ordinary,
normal boy
