Music / Eurovision Song title
Danish term or phrase: Sku' du spørg fra no'en?
I am doing some nostalgic writing for a Eurovision fan club website and there is a slight debate over the exact meaning of this Danish song from the 1985 contest.
It has been translated as, "catch me if you can" as well as "would you like to know?" And "what business is it of yours?"

Here is the link to the lyrics

Who wants to know?


Explanation:
This would be my translation of the actual question.
It doesn't work if you want to sing it to this tune, though.
