Hair in the air
Put your hair
Put your hair in the air

I've got a fever coming on
And now it's beating on my bones

Go, go, go, go, go, go

Put your hair in the air (hair up)
We don't care (hair up)

Trivia[]
- "Put your hair in the air" is a nod to the phrase "Put your hands in the air", which means to show support for something via a show of hands.
- "Bergen" means "mountain" in several European languages. The song's background music refers to the fact that it's played throughout Bergen Castle, which can be referred to as "the hall of the Mountain King".
- The use of the "Bergen" term for the species may come from the Norwegian city in which the song's writer Edvard Grieg resided, also named "Bergen".
- Due to the use of "In the Hall of the Mountain King", sometimes a parallel is drawn between Trolls and the The Smurfs franchise, which also used the song as a background piece. The Smurfs was registered in 1958, a year before the Troll Dolls in 1959.
- A side note is that despite the Troll dolls being registered in 1959, the first Troll doll predates this year, though it's unknown by how much time.
- The "King" from the song was also a troll, and the Bergens resemble the traditional description of what trolls from Norse mythology were like.
