DumDum Boys is a Norwegian rock band from Trondheim.^[1] They started up in the late 1970s as a punk band under the name "Wannskrækk", and released a few singles under that name before they reinvented themselves with a new name and a somewhat new sound in 1985.

The new name, "DumDum Boys", was taken from a song on the album "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop. Their debut album is called Blodig alvor (na na na na na).
