From D...May I also offer some Scandinavian treats?<br /><br />From Denmark - Gasolin' (yes, apostrophe). This was recorded in Malmö, Sweeden, on their farewerll tour. The resulting album was totally everywhere in 1978/79. The song itself had once been a ballad, but it's this uptempo version that counts. To borrow a phrase, it has the inevitabilty of a masterpiece. It virtually sings itself.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY0g_SJjA6Q<br /><br />Next stop Finland and something completely different. Hurriganes (sic) made all other music seem pretentious. This still makes want to jump up and down and behave like an idiot - and I'm 52.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1pPwnah_eM<br /><br />And on to Sweden. No, not Abba. The line "having the time of your life" from "Dancing Queen" implies that it's downhill from here, kiddo. That's not a happy song. However, Sven-Åke Högberg - using his alias Hank C. Burnette - recorded this in his parents' garage and it eventually sold 8 million copies worldwide. Really. Check the youtube comments, the guy himself has added a ton of info. 40-something years later, this instrumental still makes me grin from ear to ear. I could probably listen to this 20 times in a row and still be grinning.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8FfzZvqjAMAnders Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164550847416446757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-36611156447360396362015-10-28T19:01:46.175-04:002015-10-28T19:01:46.175-04:00So many songs I don't know here.
