indeed so! at last it comes in useful!!! :D

ö (or ø as it appears in norwegian - ö is the swedish equivalent - danes use ø) - it's pronounced more like 'ir' in dirty - but without any hint of an 'r'.

however:

'y' in norwegian is also classed as a vowel, almost like saying 'eeyuh' very quickly - it's all about your tongue really - it should be touching your back teeth on both sides of your mouth, with your lips fairly rounded

so røyksopp suddenly sounds far more complicated than it actually is...:)

it means 'smokemushroom' - make of that whåt you will...
