Knutsen & Ludvigsen is a Norwegian singing duo having written and performed various songs for children. They released seven albums, two of which received Spellemannprisen - the Norwegian Grammy. They had several #1 hits, including "Grevling i taket" (Badger in the ceiling), "Hallo! Hallo!" and "Dum og deilig" (Stupid and gorgeous).

The duo consists of Øystein Dolmen and Gustav Lorentzen.

Since the late 90's, they have enjoyed a cult status among young Norwegians, being headlines at leading festivals and rock clubs. October 26, 2006, TV2 broadcasted the program "Knutsen & Ludvigsen - The full Story".

The Norwegian Pop & Rock Encyclopedia says: "This was more than a famous duo - Knutsen & Ludvigsen was a notion. The whole rock generation from the nineties was nourished by their records."[1]
