They toured in the end of the 90s, sort of a comeback tour, with old hits and some new song. I saw them in Linköping, Trädgårdsföreningen on a free concert, the whole park was crowded with thousands of people of all ages. When all theese people alltogether shouted "SVAMP!" in the chorus, it was magical! Electric banana band is not just something. They are all good, well known and respected musicians, especially Janne Schaffer on guitar.
Yeess! Electric Banana Band rules!🐯🦓🐵 The guitarist, Janne Schaffer, played with TOTO ( ex. Hold the line) ABBA, Ted Gärdestad and many more! Fun fact: TOTO later played at Janne’s record ”Earmeal”! 😜
And the drummer, Pelle Lindvall, is a world class drummer. Played with basically all the great Scandinavian artists, like ABBA and A-HA just to mention some.
Sent svar men ändå: Ja, Per Lindvall är en av våra bästa batterister/trummisar! 🥰 Är helt såld på ABBA och A-ha, hans trummor är en stor del i deras fantastiska ”ljudbilder”!
@@annika8207 Visste inte att han spelade på A-has låtar. Gällande Abba var det väl bara de sista? Ola Brunkert är ett trumnamn man annars förknippar med Abba.
Thank you for reacting to it! As somebody has already mentioned "Min piraya Maja" is another song of theirs that is worth checking out if you wanna react to more Electric banana band. Another song that came to mind the other day is Björn Afzelius "Sång till friheten" a beautiful song that is also suitable for the season. 🌴 Btw thank you for the Uggla hang, it was great! 😉👍
En av de mest somriga svenska sommarklassikerna there is är ju ”Sommar, sommar, sommar” ☀️ - antingen med Göteborgs Wind Orchestra eller med Radions Underhållningsorkester eller med Alice Babs (men tycker nog någon av de instrumentella är mest klassisk faktiskt)
Lasse Åberg gjorde en filmklassiker som heter sällskapsresan som du borde se. Eller han gjorde flera men första sällskapsresan är bäst och driver med svenskar som åker till Kanarieöarna
I’ve been lucky enough to see them live twice, even though I’m really young. First time I saw them I was about 8 years old and I don’t remember ever laughing that hard before. It’s always scary to revisit childhood favourites, but this holds up. It’s silly and funny and directed at kids, but I love that they didn’t use that as an excuse to make uninteresting or bad music.
One of the best children's TV shows. "I want to live in a mushroom (or any other kind of fungui)..." Janne Schaffer is one of Sweden's best guitarists. Glad he wanted to let loose and be a little childish and dress up.
A swamp or a swampy land area can also be called "sumpmark" ("SUMP"+"mark")! And, in case you wonder about the word "sopp", mentioned in this song, a "sopp" is a mushroom (any mushroom) belonging to the Boletales order (an order of mushrooms in which the underside of the "hats" has a sponge-like structure/appearance).
Song rec from Electric Banana band: "Jag ska bli som en delfin." Released in 2005, many years after their "golden" era. It was played on the radio a lot. You don't have to do a reaction to it or anything, I just think you'll like it. It's a little more modern, but with the same chill, funky, lovely vibe.
While mentioning 'träsk' the swedish word for swamp. There is another swedish band called Mora Träsk that also makes fun music that appeals to kids, just like Electric Banana Band. I'm not sure if EBB's music career started before or in coalition with their kids show, but to me EBB will always be connected to the show.
You should really check out Aston Reymers Rivaler's song "Tvål". Both my kids and my favorite in the early 1980s. Or "Långa Bollar På Bengt" with Svenne Rubins. A hit in early 1990s.
Just to complicate matters, träsk means lake in some dialects, which is why there are a number of lakes with the name ending with träsk, like Tingstädeträsk and Torneträsk.
Det har bara varit en fotbollsmästerskapslåt (När vi gräver guld i USA). Dags för nästa: After Shave - "Ciao ciao Italia" inför Sveriges matcher i fotbolls-VM i Italien 1990. En Lasse Holm-BANGER!
But in all seriousness though try giving Jussi Björling a shot, one of the greatest tenors of our time. Sommarnatt with him is very approriate right now.
They have some more decent tracks but you have hit the two really good ones. I don't think they come close to this level until 2014 with "Banarne for President" which is fusion funk at its apex, and political af.
Jag stod och smådansade på busstationen medan jag kollade på detta! Gammal älsklingslåt från barndomen! (Men vad var det för konstig video du hittat?) Ska du höra något mer av det här gänget rekommenderar jag Olyckans sång!
The start for this was the TV show Trazan and Banarne. Which does not exist even historically anymore! SVT lost the fucking tapes! (BTW, good funk band backing)
Min barndomsidoler och än... detta var inte en orginalvideo men all musik de gör är fantastisk i rymtm, sound, instrument och sång. Dagens tips är för dig göra en utflykt med dottern till Bålsta, norr om sthlm. Besöka Lasse Åbergs museum. Där det just nu byggs en lekpark utanför i banantema 🍌, inne på museumet finns Trasan o Bananes djungelkoja. Och Lasses egna gigantiska privata samling av musse pigg och andra trevliga leksaker. Lyssna gärna in Maya piraya med samma band ovan av detta kultband.
I have a suggestion for a song to react to. And it is "Vintersaga" Different people have sung that song, first is the guy who wrote it,Ted Ström, and Jerry Williams ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0q_Bbd2SGtY.html and Monica Törnell did it too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZZSl_IaIQOA.html .
I would think that they meant it to be a wordplay on swamp (=träsk) as well, cause you can't really live in a mushroom and they sing that they want away from the city, and obviously there's some magic mushroom psychadelic stuff going on lol
No it's not ment to be a swamp/träsk. You can live in a mushroom, there is room. The song is for kids. Small "people" lived in the forrests if Sweden some hundred years ago, that's what was believed back then.
@@lisakovanen1975 Okay, you're probably right as they lived in a mushroom in the tv series, and they sing that they want to live in a forest, not a swamp.
@@marcussehlin4729 du kan se det utan att titta på videon och förutom det så erbjöd jag mig t.o.m. att hitta en bra video. Och detta är inte första gången det händer, han såg till efter det hände i början när han startade med reaktioner att han inte valde dessa videos. Så han kan/har kunnat välja bättre videos. och förutom det så har han också stoppat och valt en ny video förr då han sett att det inte var bra. Så det kan vara genuint men inte dessa videos.
@@Cookie_moonlove Känns mer som ett du-problem om du förväntar dig att han ska kontakta dig för att godkänna/välja vilken video han använder till alla hans framtida projekt. Eller så lever man med att videon kan vara fan-made.. det är ju trots allt låten och inte musikvideon han reagerar på..
