From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Norwegian Wood (This bird has flown) is the name of a song by The Beatles from the Rubber Soul album. Norwegian wood may be a pun with a nickname of a strong sort of marijuana.
('then I lit a fire -- wasn't it good -- norwegian wood')
There was high consumer regard for furniture made of real Norwegian wood, that is, wood from Norway, at the time The Beatles wrote the song.
"Norwegian Wood" is also the name of a novel by Haruki Murakami.
