Amerikanen Reacts To Svenska Klassiker: Cecilia Vennersten - Det Vackraste 

lol

Indeed. The intro seems to have a mixolydian tonality. Also comparable to Highland, chord wise.

Eller "Den vilda" med One More Time!

Yes, Peter Grönvall made the song and I believe he was the producer too, but the text was from his wife Nanne Grönvall, also a member of One More Time and she made a fabulous song called "Avundsjuk", making fun of our national fault and raising hell singing it. It hit too close to home to a lot of people, I think. Try that! Avundsjuk by Nanne Grönvall.

Va, nej!

@@blancolangfranska3904 varför inte

Thank you so much for the kind words!

We did too. Didn't help though. We are divorced. Still friends, though.

Till ett annat land med Drängarna är bra.

Nope, I think Nanne Grönvall was thinking of Peter when she wrote the lyrics.

I personally don't think of a child but each one's interpretation I guess.

When he spoke about ”robbery” I think he was talking about Johansen stealing the victory from Vennersten, since he beat her with so few points in Mello. Like, he wants to see if Johansen was worthy of the victory or not. Not about similarities in the song :)

Exactly

@@musicfromakido I got that. I wasn't being defensive or anything. Just saying it's a matter of preference, they are very different songs and yet there's something similar between them when you consider the lyrics.

Hahaha it somehow worked!

@@JonathanRollinssthlm305 Of course it does! It is in the middle of the night, just before dawn, and it may be in february, on a cold winter night when the owls start hooting and courting. You can see the stars and the full winter moon, and something just passed in front of the moon, and then you hear the owl, and you look at your beloved sleeping, and your heart just explodes, but oh so softly, and you sit in silent bliss. Sorry, just got carried away! :D

And now to something completely different. Try Båtlåt with Robert Broberg. I sang it for another American Marine, he had been in Kuwait, and then came to Sweden and married a Swedish woman. And when I was half way through it he went like - Is this a song about boats making LOVE??? Yes it is. Robert Broberg was a word twister and word player. He also made some great songs. And if you would listen to a Swedish classic without lyrics, try Visa från Utanmyra from the album Jazz på svenska with Jan Johansson on piano and Georg Riedel on bass. Is is a hauntingly beautiful Swedish folk song spiced with jazz. It sounds crazy, I know, but try it, I say, try it. Jazz på svenska is the most sold Swedish Jazz record ever! Fun fact: Until his early death, Jan Johansson made the music to some Astrid Lindgren films, and then George Riedel did some, especially the Pippi Långstrump films and Emil films. And both the Pippi and the Emil films were partly sponsored by German companies so there were German actors who spoke German in it, and, considering that Georg Riedel along with his parents was one of the German jews that managed to slip out of Germany before it was too late, it is a bit, I don't know, odd, strange, or something. Too few, to our eternal shame, since most countries would not have "the dirty jews". There, I did it again, pouring out worthless knowledge that fascinates me without having any idea if the receipient is interested or not. Oh, well!

Ooh! I like that idea.

"Ingen" har hört något annat från henne. One hit wonder.

You're welcome to do so!

Och lasse berghagen sitter i publiken!
