På den tiden så hade vi bara två TV-kanaler, TV1 och TV2. Och mellan varje program så brukade det vara en person, oftast en man, som fyllde ut tiden och presenterade nästa program. TV2 hade då några attraktiva kvinnor, som bröt mansdominansen och blev en riksomfattande snackis. Jag var dock lite för ung för att uppskatta detta :)
@@JonathanRollinssthlm305 Det tipset påminde mig om 34:an med Lennart Ljung. Även det en riktig klassiker, 40v på svensktoppen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ysPqQ9QeTko.html
Vilken underbar överraskning. Gyllene Tider är mina favoriter. Önskar igen Juni, Juli, Augusti med dem. En annan låt som är väldigt speciell och en lek med ord är Robban Brobergs Båtlåt eller Uppblåsbara Barbara.
This song ♥ Considering the year this song is from, I think lyrics as suggestive as these HAD to be filled with double entendres to become so popular! x)
I remember that time when they still had those "hallåa" on tv, presenting the next show coming up. At a short time in the early 90's there was a young and very beautiful girl from Gotland in that place on tv. I believe I've met her once at a bar in Visby, not knowing then she was on tv.
Haven't you done any Roxette songs at all? Can't find any. If not you should do The Look (where Per is singing, like in this song), but you should also do Listen to your heart where Marie Fredriksson is singing and the megahit It must have been love (from the movie Pretty Woman).
Gissar att han i inte gjort någon reaction till Roxette pga att han redan har hört dem, de var ju jättestora även i USA. Dvs samma läge som Abba och Ace of Bace.
Gyllene Tider var samtida med Noise, vanligt var att antingen gillade man Gyllene Tider eller Noise, inte båda... Noise mest känd är väl "En kväll i Tunnelbanan"
Å nej, ingen Ratata.. Som jag väntat. Hoppas du hittar den.. Bra substitut dock. Flickorna på TV2 är från tiden då vi endast hade två TV kanaler i Sverige varav TV2 hade hallåor som presenterade tv programmen. Sångaren är Per Gessle (Roxette)
This is from the time when reggae was big in Sweden and the girls that presented the programs where really hot. Jonathan, you need to adjust your volume when you talk, it’s way to low comparing to the music.
I agree that you need to adjust the volume when talking Jonathan. It's so low you have to increase the volume making the eardrums bleed with the music volume getting to high. Besides that another incisive reaction. The reggae influence is big in this song though.
Grejen är ju att det var en stor grej med en kvinnlig tv-presentatör på svensk television. Innan hade det bara vart män. Hallåan var dessutom en icke attraktiv kvinna i mångas tycke 😅 Men eftersom de var en storbgrejbdå så gjorde de en låt om den.
Jag har hört att sången var inspirerad av en rad ur Hasse & Tages "Hon och jag": "Det enda jag får sätta på är TV-apparaten." Och det här är typiskt en sån där låt jag sjöng som barn utan att förstå dubbelmeningen. :-)
Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson had in the group Roxette 4 number ones in US charts. Please give Jerry Williams an other try he had some great hits in the 1960s and later a song as "did I tell you" are classics.
A great song, love these guys. And yeah he wants to bang the girls hahahaha it was ment to schock a little. Check out mellosong Sommaren som aldrig säger nej by Malta from the early 70s now that has a great line in it: Dina bröst är som svalor som häckar!
This was their breakthrough song in 1979, and the thing is that Per Gessle, the singer of the group (who also writes all of their songs) got so convinced that this is the formula to go so he wrote a whole albums worth of material of this kind in time for the planned second album, but those were all rejected by their producer- Perhaps the best thing to happen, so he had to develop his song writing a little.
Jag skulle vilja höra ett annat klassiskt svenskt band som du har missat - Wilmer X! Det finns många bra, några förslag: "Vem får nu se alla tårar", "hon är ihop med en insekt", " Ah du, hur fan ser du ut?", " Möt mig i din djungel", "Mambo feber",
1979 we only had tv1 and tv2 no commercial was legal. We had a very strict state tv more than now. Even radio was forbidden to broadcast exept for the state. I remember the first cutie on tv2 Ann Lindmark she is now an anchor on tv4
In Italian it's called "gioco di parole", in English a pun? So to me this entire song has a double meaning. "Sätta på flickorna på TV2" also literally means fu..ing them. And this is only one part of the lyrics that has double meaning. The funny part is, if you write down the hidden version of the lyrics, the golden line is a lot clearer 😂
The real reason people got trampled to death at "Masten" was because of the band. Not because it was cold. Gyllene Tider was the big thing in Sweden back then and people rushed to the stage. I know because my dad worked at the hostpital where these people were taken. And he told me about it. And two people I work with was there and told me the same thing. So it's a no brainer, it was because the band was in such hype at the time
Jag pushar igen för Thåströms Flicka med guld, och gärna Cornelis balladen om fredrik åkare och den söta fröken cecilia lind. Eller hans fräckis hönan agda...
Inte min favorit med Gyllene direkt. Bättre upptempo med dem är tex "Leva livet", "Tylö sun" & "Ljudet av ett annat hjärta". Bland de lugnare låtarna kan jag rekommendera "Kung av sand", "Billy" & "Flickan i en Cole Porter song"
OBS! Jonathan, se till att det är den ENGELSKA VERSIONEN av MOVIESTAR du lyssnar på (både engelska och svenska versionen har titeln Moviestar). Det är den engelska som är känd, även i Sverige.
”Flickorna på TV2” is a corny song with lousy lyrics, I can’t believe it even charted. More of an earbug than a classic, according to me. Some other classic songs I recommend are ”Bakom mina solglasögon” with Docenterna; ”Oh, Susie!” with Secret Service; ”Röda läppar” with Magnus Lindberg, ”Så länge vi har varann” w Ratata;
Omg I listened to this song when I was like 9 years old. It was such a banger hahah still in like 2009 (for me at least). I didn’t know it was that old tho
The concert where the deadly accident happened took place at Masten in Kristianopel where my mom grew up and lived at the time. Her older brother were at the concert and their parents (my grandparents) worried sick when they heard the news, but thank god my uncle was fine!
Hi Jonathan. The girls on TV2 is not the news girls. Way back then we had something called "hallåor" which was a pretty girl/woman that announced the next program. That is why they sing that they got a minute between programs.
I´ve never seen you react to a Wilmer X song. It was a band from Malmö, "Swedens Chicago". A true classic would be "Teknikens under". The lyrics are as true today as they where back then.
I just heard this song on the radio in my car yesterday and it kind of hit me how bad the lyrics are ... 😆 But the song is great anyway and very classic indeed. Gyllene tider was my very first experience of pop music when I was a kid.
I mean, you have to keep in mind the age of this song. From the time where we basically only had 2 TV-channels, both were state television. Tbh, I’m not even 100% sure the final phrase “sätta på flickorna på TV2” even had the same meaning back then as it have today, as it might be interpreted today… Banging them, that is…
@@bikbok1019 It certainly had! I was in my early teens and remember well being a bit embarrassed, but also having fun at the fact that a younger cousin didn't understand the double meaning of the lyrics.
All is equal in Sweden. Hate that thought or different class on planes and trains. Nobody tell us we don't have the right to be first on the plane. Haha! And i really don't see the logic of getting the fattest, slowest richest passengers on board first in the front of the plane blocking everything for the rest. Except the plane might stall if you put them all at the back.
I don't know how familiar you are with swedish slang, but the expression "sätta på ngn", translated verbatim "Turn on sb" actually means "bang sb", but at the time this was written, that expression didn't exist, but almost everybody who hears the song today think that it does mean that. And btw, he's not talking about masturbation, he's talking about the girls of tv2 turning him on as he turns them on - although, that particular phrasing only works in english.
@@fartreta Ok. I got the info in my comment from an interview with Per, so maybe he didn't know the expression was "invented" at that time, or I don't remember the interview correctly.
@@tommiejonsson8952 Jag tror inte Per Gessle, övriga medlemmar, skivbolag m.fl. var så naiva att de inte fattade att det var en dubbelbetydelse i slutet av låten...
