Hep Stars songs written by Benny 

I do remember hearing a few times that Stig Anderson had always dreamed of the Hep Stars making it big in the English speaking country's, which to me explains why they recorded in English for a lot of their songs. Benny apparently didn't know any English when he wrote No Response, he had to rely on a dictionary to write the lyrics, which may explain why he now considers so many of the songs to have bad Lyrics.

@@blakemorley8305 thank you so much for the answer!

It was a phenomenom mostly revolving around cultural differences between generations. The music Swedish pop bands recorded at the time was largely aimed at a teenage audience who found singing pop and rock in the Swedish language unfashionable and lame. The early baby boomers (I.E. teens during the 1960s) were the first generation of Swedes to speak English fluently en masse hence the fascination and interest in the language. Swedish-language songs at the time catered to a more mature, older generation and genre-wise had a more soft style; think of easy-listening music as an equivalent. The Hep Stars DID record a few Swedish-language singles, mostly soft ballad songs aimed at a "Svensktopp"-audience (as demonstrated in this video), something that caused friction between band members and fans alike. The first pure rock and pop records in the Swedish language wouldn't reach the market until the second half of 1969 (Pugh Rogefeldt's "Ja, Dä Ä Dä!" often being cited as the first), but by that point the Hep Stars had ceased to exist.
