You'll get to hear a special rendition of the Norwegian national anthem "Ja, vi elsker" ("Yes, we love this country" :-). The video was shot at the Sølvskottberget Rehab Center in Øyer, Gudbrandsdalen. When you hear this performance you no longer wonder why Norway was also able to win the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest.
