I suppose that any lyrics in Swedish is gibberish to you lot, but these are my absolute favourite nonsensical lyrics in Swedish, written by the legendary Lasse O’Månsson and sung by Hasse Eson, first heard in the […]

Nope, I was onboard the Disappointment Train as well. I thought that the idea about an actual underground railroad was underused, for a start.

The infectious classic by Shirley Ellis:

This secret Swedish band, Caramba, reached the top of the chart in 1981, revealed later to be Michael B Tretow (sound engineer for ABBA) and Ted Gärdestad (Swedish popstar). This track was played everywhere, […]

Ah well; I don’t look for singers to convince me of anything (least of all that they can sing), I look for them to give me a warm, happy emotional response. I don’t need vocal gymnastics for that. But I genuinely […]

Yup, we pay a licence fee to be allowed to broadcast radio stations through our speaker system – which is why we’re told to keep it on from when we open until we close: my boss wants his money’s worth! 😀

Well, all opinions are subjective, of course. However: you two need to carve the mouldy old cheese out of your ears! 🙂

Thanks guys! (or should I say “Ta, lads”?) 🙂

Spent most of August on holiday (=four weeks of “staycation”), getting rested and catching up with family and friends and avoiding doing most of my planned home improvement projects…

Began the month with […]

Not my choice – I work in a shop and we’re not allowed to turn it off!

Oh dear…they played the new tracks on radio today – every bloody hour, all day long! It gave me flashbacks to my childhood when their ubiquity drove me nuts and was the biggest reason why I never became a fan […]

It’s a meh from me regarding the tracks; the first being slightly better than the second.
The “abbatars” at the end of the first video looks creepy AF! Wax figures come alive to feast on the souls of the living…

Yup, agree 100% with all of these comments. I haven’t bought a new FF album in ages, but I’ll always cherish the memory of the time I saw them live, and their best (mostly old) songs are proper singalongs full of […]

It’s COXIT mate. With some BALLSIT on the side.

Agree, and as I watch them on YouTube I always skip. The only funny part is seeing the teams looking bewildered/trying hard to look amused at the end of her intros…
It’s an odd choice of humour, because she can […]

The Time Traveler’s Ex-Wife

My perfect car music memory took place when I was 16 or 17 and spent a summer weekend with my girlfriends in Uppsala. It was a heatwave and we couldn’t sleep, so in the middle of the night we jumped into my […]

I cracked the code for reading at four years old, and took to it like a junkie after the first shot of heroin. Haven’t really had any reading slumps, unless you count times when I haven’t had enough time to read […]

Yeah, it’s catchy but the lyrics makes me wince, and the video too…

Well, I was quite a bit surprised when I clicked on the Major Lazer video and heard it, because I recognized the flute from an old Timbaland track called Indian Flute, clearly he wasn’t that bothered about […]
