Björn is a national treasure. He sing and act amazingly and has a lovley personality. ”Härligt härligt men farligt farligt” is another classic song with him.
Björn was the first swede ever to reach number one on the US Billboard hitlist. In 1974 he topped the list with a cover on "Hooked on a feeling" under the name "Blue Swede"
Björn är underskattad skådis, med fantastisk komisk tajming. Tyvärr har han gjort alldeles för få filmer, filmen Strul är ju genialisk. Kolla in den någon fredagkväll med frugan, given succé.
Yeah Björn was the main character in some classic/cult films like Strul, Joker and Drömkåken. I have already suggested couple a times before the main theme from Strul, performed by Tommy Nilsson - Maybe We're About to Fall in Love.
he has such a beautiful and powerful voice! He is also my daughter’s neighbor 😉. another beautiful song by him together with Agnes was performed at princess Victoria’s wedding, it was written especially for the occasion. And I can’t for the life of me remember the title now! Oh, got it: When You Tell the World You’re Mine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H3BYy2TEPRQ.html I suggest you do this song too!
Jag glömmer bort vilken fantastisk sångare Skifs är, kanske för att jag förknippar honom så mycket med humor och olika tv-program. Men Skifs är med där högt upp! Det är Körberg (förstås) och Skifs och några till som utgör topp 5 nu levande svenska manliga sångare.
Nu är det dags att höja tempot lite :) E-Type this is the way The Hives Tick tick boom eller hate to say i told you so eller kanske Ceasars Palace jerk it out?
If you want another swedish slow gospel banger: Freddie Wadling & Helen Sjöholm (dream team!) singing Ted Gärdestads "I den stora sorgens famn". Pure magic.
This song has roots in the Swedish folk music tradition. The sad tone, the melancholic melody. This is the mother of all Swedish music, you find it in almost every song but seldom this clearly
@@ewonnestrand7298 Peter Hallström i Vaxholm 2011. Tillsammans med Lasse ”Saltarö” Andersson skrev han 1997 låten ”Same Old Story”, som fick titeln ”Håll mitt hjärta” på svenska. Låten framfördes av Björn Skifs och låg inte mindre än 142 veckor på Svensktoppen.
@@ewonnestrand7298 Däremot skrevs låten av en svensk född i Sydamerika och det var bråk om upphovsrätten. ”André de Lang, folkbokförd André De Lange, född 21 augusti 1958 i Sydafrika, är en svensk sångare. Lang flyttade till Sverige i slutet av 1980-talet. Han är med i gospelgruppen Psalm4. Sedan 1989 är han gift med Gunilla de Lange, ogift Olofsson och har flera barn. Wikipedia”
You should have seen Björn perform this live at Bingolotto (?), not sure if it was that show, but Lasse Kronér was the host. Live! And equally breathtaking. Lasse Kronér was literally stunned and very moved, just stood there with his mouth open and afterwards just rushed forward to Björn and hugged him.
Björn grew up with his dad Anders Skifs doing "revy" performances in Vansbro, Dalarna. My grandparents did local revy in the little village Särna in Dalarna. There's photos of Anders participating in their revys and they talked about meeting Björn when he was a kid. Always makes me a litte proud.
You should do an Edvard Persson song, since you like the Skåne dialect! :) He's a Skåne "national" treasure from the 1940s. Songs you could do are "En liten vit kanin", "Kalle på Spången" or "Vi klarar oss nog ändå"
Jag har inte hört Kanin-sången men ”Vi klarar oss nog ändå”, ”Kalle på Spången” och ”Jag har bott vid en landsväg” håller jag med om är stora klassiker.
A thorough entertainer, Björn Skifs. He's an actor, singer, comedian and general performer and is very loved. Another classic, perhaps not the song but the moment, is his duet with Agnes Carlsson, a song called When you tell the world you're mine, from the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. A funny sketch by him is Mopeden, a live performance together with Anders Eriksson from Galenskaparna
Yes, "Same Ol' Story" was the original version, which then also became this Swedish version. However, both were written by the great Swedish musician Peter Hallström. Peter's own performance of this song is actually, in my opinion, far better than Björn Skifs' cover of it.
There are some religous swedish people😊 (We even have a bible-belt, in Småland). I think most people look at this as a lovesong though. And it can be looked at as either/both I think❤
Just had to put in a tip for "Bilen" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dxO2I01XpoI.html as well as his version of No perticular place to go ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WG3bskOp6qc.html
Björn Skifs is prob most famous to you (and other Americans) for his performance of “Hooked on a feeling” (he called himself “Blue Swede” back then) that topped the Billboard list in 1974. (And also been played a lot in pop culture since - and got a big revival again in 2014 as part of the OST to “Guardians of the Galaxy”). You should ofc do a reaction to ”Hooked on a feeling” if you somehow haven’t heard it before - because it is Björns most famous most classic hit song!
Have you done "Det Blir Alltid Värre Framåt Natten"? It seems familiar that you have done it but I just can't place it. If you haven't, then you should definitely do that one, has interesting lyrics as well about a topic we can all recognise. It's the one when he stumbled over the words in Eurovision, but no one noticed (and I kind of remember you not noticing either, so I guess you have heard it, but maybe only parts of it).
@@susannes7023 Ok, ja det stämmer ju, men då var det väl bara ett kort klipp av låten han lyssnade på tror jag. Jag tror klippet fokuserade på hur han sjöng fel. Tråkigt med en sån bra låt.
Björn Skifs sketch "Bilen", en riktig klassiker från tiden före RU-vid, 1.25 in i denna. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dxO2I01XpoI.html
Here you have a song Björn recorded with his first band 'Slam Creepers' 1966. A single recorded by Sveriges Radio (the Swedish public Radio) after Slam Creepers had won the competition 'Swedem's Best Pop Band' 'Go On Home Baby' (a cover of the North Irish band 'Them', in which Van Morrison started his career) and 'Nobody' (cover of 'The Hollies') ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MRh25Cp0DY4.htmlsi=BqCHTOUAZMHvXTN7 Slam Creepers recorded a four track vinyl with the songs above, and 'Gotta Take The First Plane Home' (The Kinks cover) and last but not least; 'Good To Me' written by Björn Skifs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Lj6N9lXySk.htmlsi=c8HytNnZtEn45887 I would have preferred another arrangement. 🤷
I’m guessing that the chart you are referring to is Svensktoppen, which was not based on what has sold the most. Instead they had a voting system, if I’m not mistaken.
Oh by the way, Björn was not the first one on this song, it was first recorded in English and then called “Same ol’ story” by a black dude 2001, Andre de Long. Here is a version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Shl8mXqFkLU.html Musikvideon: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-78o2n4t8V1Q.html

Du måste göra "Nu tar vi dom" av Håkan Södergren & Svenska ishockeylandslaget från 1989. Det är en riktigt klassiker som är ett måste inför varje ishockey VM. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eToFpwpVJ1k.html
En bland Björns allra bästa (157 veckor på Svensktoppen), och då finns det ändå massor av dom..! Finns också en version på engelska "Same old story" same writer to two different artists.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-78o2n4t8V1Q.html

Om du vill ha ett exempel på Björn Skifs komik som är lite kortare än hans långfilmer, så kolla upp klippet "Dödsstraffet" ur Nöjesmassakern. Det är samma program som "Fred på jorden", om du minns den, och samma motspelare, Sven Melander.
Vi kommer aldrig att dö, is the best I think! A trumpet blowing the listener to eternity in your thoughts…..🥲🎺 Have heard it live as the final song on a warm summerevening in Helsingborg. The whole crowd stood still in silence and awe of that moment!🤩 BKO forever!
This song, "Håll Mitt Hjärta" was written and composed by the Swedish musician Peter Hallström. For some sad reason, that's seldom mentioned. Peter's own performance of this song is also actually better than Björn Skifs' version of it.
Aldrig gillat något med Björn Skifs, men måste ge han att denna låten är bra även fastän jag är Ateist. Björn som skådis mja jag vet inte han har mer talang för musik helt klart.
