Check out my reaction to the Swedish classic "När Vi Gräver Guld i USA" by GES. This song was a soccer pep song for the men's national team that went on to win the bronze medal in 1994. It was a top hit in Sweden for 40 weeks.
If you are not familiar with these three guys' careers, I'll just mention that the three lines ”Flickirna har blommor i sitt hår”, ”Där står alla flickorna på rad” and ”Tillsammans är vi oslagbara” are all references to earlier individual hits buy these three guys.
I was 10 years old, and i will never forget it. Every swede had to to up at night in order to watch the games, and then all the kids played fotball every single day. The greatest summer of my life.
That summer is soo memorable. I had my second son the 2 of July. All of the fathers and most of the mothers crowded in the TV-room in the hospital. Someone screamed: His name will be Martin! And the summer was so hot - I could not sleep bc of the heat, my new baby and ppl screaming in the neighbourhood bc the matches were sent on tv in the middle of the night. And this song is so connected to that summer.
Hahaha, I just found this and I can't stop watching this one... One of the best songs ever, brings back memories of that amazing summer -94, and your reaction is hilarious! 😆😆😆 I was 20 back then and I laughed in a very bigsisterly way at my younger brother when he started to sit up all night watching the game. But a week later I sat right there next to him... Love this one!
Oh, this brings back memories. Because the championship was played in the United States, most games were played at a time when it was the middle of the night in Sweden. All soccerfans set their alarm-clocks to get up and watch the games in real-time on TV.
Textraderna, Flickorna har blommor i sitt hår Där står alla pojkarna på rad Tillsammans är vi oslagbara är hänvisningar till GES tidigare individuella låtar, "Hon har blommor i sitt hår" av Glenmark, "Då står pojkarna på rad" av Eriksson och "Oslagbara" av Strömstedt! De låtarna skulle du också kunna react to. 😎
Midsommar at Skrea strand in Falkenberg with all my friends, then home to see every match with the same friends and being totally ecstatic about every goal, despite not really being into soccer. Hello 94, i can't believe you've been gone for 27 years.
If you liked that one, you could also listen to 'Nu Tar Vi Dom', by Håkan Södergren (and the Swedish hockey team). Heck, you even got 'Den Glider In', by Nick Borgen (that even other countrys around Sweden uses to celebrate with).
If you listen to the lyrics between 3:56 to 4:04 then you will hear/read: “blommor i sitt hår (Glennmark) Där står alla pojkarna på rad (Orup) Tillsammans är vi oslagbara (Strömstedt)” And those three lines are from all the three artists.
And the title it self has a double layer as well, referencing the big migration from Sweden during the 19th century to the new land in west, America... where you w(c)ould find gold.
I had a great time watching this and singing along. It's just do much fun to see you react. Makes me wanna go back to Guate to show them more swedish music.
glorius summer 94' was 11 and watched the WC in my mom and stepdads summer cabin on an black and white 14 inch tv in the middle of the night with my brother....great memories!
This reminds me of the night I watched the semi final that summer. But also the song "Om" with Niklas Strömstedt, PLEASE do that for me. The lyrics are awsome.
If you think the recording is banging just imagine how the stadiumversion is like with EVERYBODY around singing along and the energie and the band giving it
Yo Jonathan! This is lit man! It's like the fourth or fifth time watching it in like 24h, and it still makes me smile n feel so friggn' good! I've only heard you in AMK Morgon and it's a pleasure erry time. Imma have my eyes open for when you're coming to Malmö next time doing some stand-up. I'll be there for sure. Wish you all the best bro. Peace
@@JonathanRollinssthlm305 Fair enough. Want to see more regarding this track i recommend you to watch Hjältarnas hemkomst on svtplay. At about 62 minutes in GES perform the song with the 94 world cup team at the welcoming reception in Rålambshovsparken. Epic moment in the history of television broadcast in sweden.
Låttips! Sercret Service - Oh Susie. Var listetta i 29 länder! Ebba Grön - Die Mauer. En låt som kan förena typ alla svenskar födda mellan 1960 till 1990 i allsång. Minst.
I agree with the part you said that it sounds like the beginning of sitcom, it totally does xD I'm not a fan of GES, I think they've always sounded too boybandish but this song rules. It was on the radio constantly in the 90's
These lyrics: Flickorna har blommor i sitt hår Där står alla pojkarna på rad Tillsammans är vi oslagbara They are extracts from other songs made by these guys. Check them out too
There is an English version of this song, made by another Swedish artist, Amanda Jensen. But it's more about the Seville War. A down tembo song, but good.
Please do "Nu tar vi dom", a song written for the Swedish team at an ice hockey championship. It was sung by people in the hockey team and it was written by Lasse Holm.
With Benny Andersson's hobby band, a motley crew consisting of a theatrical director on accordeon, two of the best singers in Sweden (and in the world, I would say, though it's only one of them here) and a couple of brothers who can play anything. Haha! Here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nV9Gj3WGOmE.html Helen Sjöholm is his backup-singer.
Markoolio: vi drar till fjällen eller rocka på Han är för mig en klassiker men har inte funnits så länge som tex Gyllene tider. Harpo: moviestar Sven-Ingvars: sommar och sol Eddie Meduza: Gasen i botten Arvingarna : Eloise
You got to check out Amanda Jenssen's live cover of the same song from a TV-show: "When we dig for gold in the USA" It should hit much harder for an American as it is more about the people migrating there for a better life, also in English. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XqCjKLgia5M.html
Jag trodde verkligen inte att någon kunde bli mer hype än en svensk person som lyssnar på denna låten. Alltså att ingen blir så hypad över något. Vem kunde trott att en Amerikan som lyssnar på låten skulle slå det? 🤣
Kolla upp Amanda Jenssens When we dig for gold in the usa. Det är en cover från tv programmet 'så mycket bättre'. Hon får det på något sätt att låta som att det är skrivet om den stora utvandringen till amerika. Mycket mer sorglig
@@Reeplay7 26 år senare kommer överraskningen: Sveriges hyllade VM-hjältar i USA fick dela bronset med Bulgarien. - Trean och fyran fick bronsmedaljer, säger Fifas Hans Hultman till Aftonbladet. 15 maj 2020
This song is refering to that time when everyone immigrated to usa. hard to imagine, but around the world, there are litterlly thousands of buildings that outdate your country
Ewa Dahlgren - Vem tände stjärnorna is a lovefully song from. 90s, try to listen that song of you will manage that. I had some millions views on youtube
