about
Prima Vera was a Norwegian music/comedy group which consisted of Tom Mathisen, Herodes Falsk and Jahn Teigen. They were well known for writing satirical lyrics to well-known songs at the time.

In January 1981, they released their first compilation album, titled Best of Ebba, which contained two new songs together with some of their greatest hits. They toured all over Norway, and had plans for releasing a VHS and a musical, and worked on it the same year. Later that year, the musical and their fourth album, Fisle Narrepanne i Tyrol was released, and was their first serious release which didn't contain humorous parodies of well-known songs.
