Tøsedrengene were a Danish band that existed from 1978 to 1985, notable for their mix of pop-rock and reggae with Danish-language lyrics. During their active years, they achieved great success in Denmark, their six studio albums selling more than a million copies. The name translates to "The wimps", which is a parodic reference to the 70's anti masculine climate in Denmark. The band was founded in 1978 by songwriter & bass player Klaus Kjellerup and his chidhood pal, keyboardman & vocalist Henrik Stanley Møller. Other members were Michael Bruun, Aage Hagen and drummer Jan Sivertsen. The basic idea of the founders was to establish the first band in Denmark who played reggae music with Danish lyrics - this eventually happened on the debut album 'Det går fremad' in 1979. Tøsedrengene's first hit in Denmark was the distinct and energetic reggae-pop song 'Sig du ka' li' mig' from the second album in 1981 which included a guest appearance by singer & lyricist Anne Dorte Michelsen who afterwards became member of the group together with co-singer Maria Bramsen.
