Norwegian Wood
Scandinavian forest material
Norwegian Wood is a 1965 Beatles song, notable for introducing sitar to Western pop music.
The phrase later became the English title of Haruki Murakami's 1987 novel about love and loss in 1960s Tokyo.
Outside these cultural references, the phrase has no independent meaning—it simply describes wood from Norway.
