The Kids was a Norwegian band from Trondheim founded in 1979. Their most familiar song was Forelska i lærer'n (translated to "In Love With the Teacher"), in 1980. Norske jenter ("Norwegian Girls") was another hit. The band released music in Sweden with Swedish language versions of the songs.

The Kids became known for their platinum blonde hair, and were the first in Norway to produce a music video.[citation needed] The video was aired by the program Zikk Zakk, the only rock music program on NRK. The Kids sold to platinum. After the band broke up, Dag Ingebrigtsen took part in the founding of TNT. Meanwhile, Torstein Flakne founded Stage Dolls. In 1996 they had a reunion tour in Norway, and released the "Greatest Hits" on CD.
