RIP Micke, en fanstastisk människa. När jag var en liten grabb på slutet av 90/tidigt 00-tal bodde han i samma område som jag. Jag o mina kompisar hade ingen aning om att han var rikskändis, för oss var han bara den där roliga gubben som alltid skojjade med oss, och snackade med föräldrarna när man sprang på honom på ICA, i hockeyhallen osv. Vila i frid
he was an extreme comedian doing crasy stuff in public before social media,,, Everybody loved him for braking the daily manners, he got an depression and anxiety and ended his life..
Alltså, den här låten har en särskild historia i vår familj. När den låg på listorna och vi bodde hemma, så städade mamma (som inte kan ngn engelska) runt i huset med fönster och dörrar öppna på vid gavel och sjöng med i texten... tills vi kom hem och talade om för henne vad "för fet för ett fuck" betydde. Dörrar och fönster stängdes snabbt! 🤣🤣
He reminded me of Robin Williams. So funny you wondered if he was on the verge of losing it. Like he tried to fill his own emptyness by making others laugh. I wrote that on another video about Williams. Talking about him while thinking about Micke Dubois. How he was funny to survive. Two weeks later they said he was dead.
My idol when I was a kid, but I preferred öl låten as his his best song. As a comedian you should watch svullo grisar vidare, svullo was really before his time and that show how brilliant he was!
Best Swedish pronunciation I heard from an American. Kudos! As for the song, it is a classic for many growing up in the 80s. Funny and self reprimanding. Unfortunately Mikael Dubois ended his life by hanging himself in 2005. A tragic end for a brilliant comedian!
Not sure all of this is true, but I met a guy when working in Sthlm (1990:ish), and this guy used to hang out with Electric boys back then. Turns out the Electric boys went to the States. In a bar, Conny gets into a conversation with a guy. He mentions that they have released some songs. The guy said "Yeah, we have done that too". It turned out he had talked to Ritchie Blackmoore, but not recognized him. :)
Han brukade uppträda på Karlssons, ett populärt diskotek på Kungsgatan, såg honom där ett par gånger runt 1987. Han var rätt så unik på den tiden. Gjorde sin egen grej.
Bruh what are the fkn odds this song comes to mind 15yrs since i heard it, i RU-vid it, and you uploaded this reaction SIX HOURS AGO. I SWEAR GOOGLE RUNS MY GD LIFE LMAO
Tack igen för en härlig och ärlig reaktion! Jag fortsätter att puffa för ’Düsseldorf’ med bob hund och hoppas fler önskar den, så Jonathan får en chans att upptäcka en annan sida av svenskt musikliv. Helt unikt och egensinnigt band, som du inte får missa om du vill förstå hela den svenska musikkulturen :)
Jag är stolt att Sveriges ungdomar 1990 hade humor och inte var så präktiga som i andra tider så att denna blev den näst mest sålda låten! Svullo är inte min humor men jag tycker det är kul att när luftgitarrtrenden kom så spelade Micke luftbas... Vila i frid.
Jonathan, du tvingade mig komma hit från AMK-patreonsidan! Det var bra gjort. Alltid kul att få se lite svullo. Jag var på Gröna Lund när de spelade, måste väl varit 1990 då. Helvete vad mycket folk! Weltklasse! Två tummar upp för reactionens!
This is from back in the day when MTV ran music on the channel, and they acctually ran the video for this song, once. Then I guess the danish VJ fell over laughing and told them what they sang about. After that it was only shown after midnight, iirc. Electric Boys were pretty good and had some success with their music and, as we can see here, they liked having fun and did not take themselves too serious.
Sweden's only Comedian if you ask me. The counter culture, the profanity, the give no shit attitude, but he was also a kind soul, so yeah it's a shame his depression got him down, and nowadays the kids don't know who he is, and they would think that he is too vulgar, they'd call him by every known epitaph they know, so in a sense it's good for him that he did die so he wouldn't have to see how bad society became after 2008. When lunacy and conformity joined hands in our land. And it only got worse and worse, and look at where we are now. So indeed may Micke Dubois rest in peace, and may we who remember his legacy tell others about it so that it may live on.
Haven't heard this song or seen the video since the 90's and couldn't stop laughing 🤣 It is of course ridiculous, but Svullo made a career out of being vulgar and provocative, so this song sort of goes in line with that.. PS. No idea who the black guy is. I guess they just wanted him in the video to make it cooler or something 😊

The black guy was not a part of Electric Boys. It was random actor/guy participating for "comic effect".
He started in the 80s as a standup comedian under the stagename Captain Freak. He was hilarious funny. there are some oldf stuff of that out here on RU-vid that you should check out.
Som referens till "polisen" i videon. Även känd som "den elaka polisen" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZXWpOQHx_lY.html Det var en av karaktärerna Micke Dubois spelade sen även hans mest kända karaktär Svullo.
Thanks! I'm actually 0% Swedish. Been here for eight years now. I just happened to have a great teacher (my wife's grandmother) that made sure I pronounce things properly.
Hello. I worked with Svullo and avsked he's tourleader , he answered ; Han var en lirare som bara gick förbi. enligt Micke ingen dom bokat in.. snubbe på stan...
The song wouldn't be what it became and is without that Micke Dubois aka Svullo already was a very popular figure at tv and in live shows at the small theatres. If you don't have that perspective it's only a silly song. For a song accompaning a low budget comedian it's pretty decent.
The funny thing about this video is that it's almost entirely improv. Typical Svullo. I don't think the man went by a single line of script his entire career.
En annan töntig rap låt är..... Ulla Bella rap från 1986. Den var med i det populära sommar programmet Sol stollarna. Det var inte lätt för seriösa rap'ers på den tiden när komiker gjorde parodi av hip hop kulturen.
Det fanns inga seriösa svenska rappare då. Nya genrer brukar ta humordörren in till Sverige, efter ett tag dyker det sen upp några som tar det på allvar. Jämför med Povel Ramels "Johanssons boogey-woogey-vals" som då var en ny genre i Sverige och som därför vävdes in i ett humoristiskt sammanhang.
