Swede Week: Claes-Göran Hederström - Det Börjar Verka Kärlek, Banne Mej
"Det Börjar Verka Kärlek, Banne Mej" = "It starts to feel like love, damn it"
And, here it is! Probably the best song from Sweden to qualify to Eurovision Song Contest. Yes, actually much better than Waterloo. This was in 1968.

Swede Week: The Ark - The Worrying Kind
I have blogged this song before, but since it won melodifestivalen (the Swedish qualifications for Eurovision Song Contest) yesterday I post it once more. The song isn't that great. The verse is really good and glammy - but the chorus doesn't really take off. But the performance is better than most artists in this contest. We may have a winner.
This clip is from the semi finals:

Swede Week: Sillstryparn - Doin the Omoralisk Schlagerfestival
"Back in 1975 there was a popular movement in sweden against the music competition Melodifestivalen. The young people fought big music corporations, and most evil of them all was Stikkan Andersson, founder of Polar Records and also ABBA's manager.
Among other things the movement arranged the Alternativfestivalen as an alternative for Melodifestivalen. It was here that Ulf Dageby performed Doin the Omoralisk Schlagerfestival under the name Sillstryparn."
