Tack för att du reagerade på Owe! Hoppas du ger *Alice Babs "Swing it Magistern"* en chans framöver också😉

Nästa gång du reagerar på en Owe sång måste det bli Varm Korv Boogie som skrevs som en protest mot någon lag angående försäljning av korv. Minns inte exakt hur det var men kolla upp det.

Håller helt med, *Varm korv boogie* är ett måste!👍

If you put this on at a party, I have the feeling that the party will be going! We Swedish people are suckers for nostalgia 🤣

”Lilla vackra Anna” en visa som är skriven 1824 och som väldigt många artister har spelat in bl.a Sven-Ingvars, Hootenanny singers, Fred Åkerström och många fler. En väldigt fin visa och väldigt känd.

In 1962 he made a "stoneage-waltz" called "Wilma!", referring to the then extremely popular US television cartoon "The Flintstones". The US producers found outthat Owe Thörnquist was singing the line "Yabba dabba doo"fromthe TV series, and threatened to sue him. But they changed their main, andinstead used Owe Thörnqvist's song in one episode of "The Flintstones".

If you like storytelling, you HAVE to start listening to Evert Taube. Especially his early songs are just amazing stories, mostly inspired by his time as a sailor in the 1890s. Swedes barely knew anything about Buenos Aires, Adelaide, Malabar and other places he sang about, and were of course mesmerized. Today, many people haven't heard him sing, but they've been singing his songs a lot in school and afterwards, and he's one of the most widely covered artists in Sweden. His son Sven-Bertil Taube, who recently passed away, has done tons of covers of his dads songs. Probably a good choice for a Tuesday night hang. A few suggestions (he wrote hundreds of songs) Baladen om briggen Blue Bird of Hull (this one is really dark) Mary Strand Möte i monsunen Balladen om Gustav Blom från Borås (fantastic tale about the perils of judging people by their appearance) Frithiof och Carmencita Frithiof Andersson (n-word warning) Karl-Alfred (I suggest the 1921 recording) Calle Schewens vals (Sven-Bertils version is awesome)

Hahaha, damn how these songs just get stuck to my brain! Today I switched from Djingis Khan to Dagny, kom hit och spill ... 😆 However, THIS is a classic if there has ever been one. Good reaction!

Sofia dansar go-go med Stefan Rydén är en klassiker som påminner lite om Dagny tycker jag.

It’s a Danish original… Fut i mejemöget meaning something like the dust is going up in flames! She doesn’t have to clean the house on Saturday!😅

We were excited when we sang Dagny and Varm korv boogie on music lessons at Primary School. They were absolutely favourites.

Jag ser "Varm korv boogie" i Jonathans framtid.

Even though he mostly did novelty songs, he was probably the first in Sweden who understood the rock and roll idiom and also made recordings with a real rock and roll feeling back in the mid 1950s. He is still alive and was active at least a couple of years ago, and what is especially unique with him is that he owns the rights all the recordings of his songs. He was clever enough to buy them from the record companies Metronome and Philips where he recorded them.

You can tell that he took the early rock genre to heart and went with it to evolve the Swedish rock and roll market to what it is today.

In swedish Dagny is not pronounced with a hard "g". It is pronounced as it was spelled Dang-ny.

Owe claims to be the one who presented rock 'n' roll to the Swedes. He's a funny and very talented guy, but he's a bit of a megalomaniac. :) Varmkorv boogie next!

Yes, hope for some more reactions to Owe Thörnqvist. He was extremely popular back in the late 50's, early 60's, especially among us small kids. He took the rock'n roll sound to Sweden, even if it was played by the best jazz musicians in Sweden. His lyrics were always funny, complicated, intelligent and with small sassy undertones. We kids learnt the lyrics and sang his songs in school, on the last lesson before weekend. The teacher wasn't always so happy, because of the sassyness, but our classmates were cheering. Suggestion: Owe Thörnqvists "Per Olsson", his version of "Old McDonald had a farm".

Yay, a real classic thank you for the reaction.

Since we now in to some real oldies I suggest, for political insight, "Hanna från Arlöv" and "Vi måste höja våra röster" both comes with Nationalteatern. Both with lyrics that most swedes knows more or less and can sing along. And for your preferens of storytelling and skånska: Timbuktu: Flickan och kråkan eller Det löser sig. Mikael Wiehe: Flickan och kråkan.

Vi måste höja våra röster gjordes av Grupp 8-projektet "Sånger om kvinnor" och inte Nationalteatern. Men annars håller jag med.

The first swedish rock ´n´roll - even if it wasn´t rock! He was a genious!Humour!!

Owe´s lyrics kicks butt! He´s right up there with Povel Ramel when it comes to swedish word-smithing in my opinion! The double entrendes are flying wild 👍👍😁😁

Great reaction and true swedish classic. 👏🏻🥰 ..and man you were close on the chorus 🙈🙈🙈

Yes this is an old school banger. In the late 50's this must have been a "kioskvältare". Imagin sitting in a "fik" and play this song on a jukebox.

A big hit that came out 2007 was Adam Tensta - My Cool. Hiphop/Electro that still sounds fresh today. Would be fun if you reacted to this song : )

Haha great! I love him! His song Loppan is my favourite! But this one is good too!

When it comes to old school Swedish national pride, our language have always been a source of focus; This means that in a lot of romantic music, classical music, opera, "visa", styled songs.. You aren't REALLY a professional music if people can't hear you have the proper Swedish "Rolling R".. and in older styled recordings the sound can kind of disappear if you speak "sloppily", so a LOT of older singers ~really~ go in to the "R"-s extra.. as taught by vocal coaches, and requested by recording studios of the era.

You got the melody almost right!

När kommer nästa virala klipp?😍

Du har fortfarande inte lyssnat på Olle Adolphson. Jösses. Och Lasse Tennander. Nu blåser vi ut ljusen (stolta stad) Mycket Bellman där. Cornelis Vreeswijk Sjuttonde balladen av Evert Taube. Klassiker alltihopa!

Owe talks (and sings) with an Uppsala/Uppland dialect.. Like myself.

I like this idea!

I’m surprised you thought it was a (qualified) banger. Sure, we all do (people of my age bracket and ethnicity). I’m glad you appreciated the song. Owe did mostly comedy songs. For an example of one outside the Swedish mindset, try the love song ”Wilma!” (Yes. Flintstone.)

Very good. Check out "Hjälp" were Owe sings about Ingo (Ingemar Johansson) that were world champion in boxing in the 50's. Owe also were a boxer.

I have two songs I would love for you to react to: 1. Den svenska björnstammen - Svalkar vinden, Tommy Nilsson - Öppna din dörr. Please mate.

Funny song and brings me back to my childhood. You should listen to Stefan Demert. His Anna Anaconda will probably make you laugh.😅

"Doppa skorporna" is an old eufemism...

Oh but you are so wrong!! Dagny is a partystarter, especially for bomers like me 🤣

You should react to Petter, Ison & Fille och Mogge - För Alla Dom and Hootenanny singers omkring tiggarn från Luossa. Probably one of the most beautiful Swedish songs ever.

You need to react to the song: (gôtt å leva)

Min önskelista får bli Dan Hylander och Raj Montana Band; "Solregn" eller "Farväl Till Katalonien" 💞💞

Bra gammal låt!! Liten "overall question"; Varför måste jag alltid höja på ljudet när jag lyssnar på dina reaktioner?? Du har lägre ljudnivå än andra videos!! Förlåt ingen kritik bara en liten teknisk fråga?? By the way; love your reactions!!🥰

😊😊👌👌👌 . Anna , 30 skäl

Jag bidrar gärna till önskelistan med en av mina personliga Owe-favoriter: Den lätt absurda "Hemma".

Time for some rock now: Takida-Curly Sue
