Amerikanen Reacts To Svenska Klassiker: Dr Alban - It's My Life

[@SteamboatW]

90's eurodance never reached the states... if you like it, you'll have literally hundreds of undiscovered masterpieces from all over europe to dance to...

[@listonheinz9103]

Eurodance importerades aldrig över av någon anledning och var helt okänt i USA på den här tiden. Det är ganska intressant att jämföra topplistorna mellan Europa och USA under 90-talet och innan internet fanns, de skiljer sig åt ganska ordentligt på ett sätt som är omöjligt idag.

[@molnet999]

alltså, typ. trots att jag växt upp m hiphop fanns det en stil jag helt missat som togs upp i hip hop evolution på netflix, som jag dock glömt vad fan den hette. den lät typ som eurodancerapverser (dvs dåliga).

[@stefanpersson3865]

@@molnet999 Eurodance stuffade jag till i början på 90 talet på nattklubbar.

[@carpetclimber4027]

Sedan kom den amerikanska skitmusiken med sina skottkärror med PR-pengar och dödade allt.

[@matsv201]

Det är inte riktigt sant, i slutet på 90-talet, runt 97-98 börja Eurodance bli ganska populärt i USA, och då kom även många äldre låtar över. Detta kan du se i filmen "night at the roxbury" som är impoernade nog en film som gör parodi på 90-talet, men de trots de var gjord på 90-talet. Soundtracket från filmen innehåller What Is Love? - Hadaway Bamboogie Pop Muzik Beautiful Life Where Do You Go Be My Lover This Is Your Night Everybody Come Around You're Everything I Want Nightmare Insomnia Så de är ett relativt brett urval av klassiekerna.

[@johnberglund9667]

Great reaction! 👌🏾👌🏾🤩 Another great Alban song is “Sing Hallelujah”.

Dr Alban was one of the first artists to gain success for Denniz Pop and the Cheiron studio.

[@VADARENSLILLAPOJK]

Fun fact that Max Martin from Cheiron wrote Bon Jovi’s “it’s my life”

[@mackan7086]

Its my life by Bon Jovi was actually also written by a swede, namely Max Martin which has had an insane number of US billboard no 1 hits (I think it is between 25-30)

[@mackan7086]

@@Huxteble ja det stämmer. Dennis Pop var en grymt stor talang. Han hade säkerligen haft liknande statistik om han inte gått bort så tidigt

[@Ahris22]

I think this was Dr Alban's biggest international hit but here his first album Hello Africa was the real banger. The whole album is a real masterpiece, not because of Alban's vocals but because of the fantastic music and production by Denniz Pop.

This makes me think about E-type, he has lots of swedish classics too.

Bästa E-type låten att reagera på? Angels crying? Back in the loop? This is the way? Here I go again? Russian lullaby? Mycket bra skit där.

[@danielcraig243]

My favourite Dr Alban song is "No Coke" :) Its an anti drug song. Really nice song

[@molnet999]

btw that bon jovi song was co-written with max martin. denniz pop, the guy who produced this song and brought up dr alban was max martin's mentor

[@deaodaggi]

Sing Hallelujah is my favourite!

[@janniketarander4212]

I prefer “No coke” by Dr Alban 🙂👍🏻

[@Merecir]

The BAYSE! 😁

[@fredriklarsson9568]

Hörde "no coke" första gången på ett disco i 2an eller 3an. Fattade inte vad den handlade om trodde det var om Coca-Cola. Med mins den som det häftigaste jag hade hört.

Dr alban - Moppepojkar is really good

[@heidikojonen4027]

Great reaction video once again :) I have another suggestion: Oh Laura with Release me. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@Huxteble]

One hit wonder men ja, den har ju blivit en klassiker.

[@Geoskan]

I think we could really do with some Tomas Ledin on this channel - can't get much more classic than Ledin.

[@mrbitbot]

This was a huge hit in the 90s lol

[@rickardelimaa]

_Snap - Rhythm of a Dancer_ is so freaking good. I honestly still listen to it today. That and _Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - Good Vibrations_ ;)

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

True dance classics

[@Dalpilarna]

I was born 2002 and I loved this song as a kid

[@TroysPop]

This song was regularly played in the gay clubs here in the U.S. (at least ones in California), which is where I first heard it. You can tell by the title of the song that it would have great appeal to the gay community. And when the video was played on the large TV screens, well, let's just say that Dr. Alban was not hard on the eyes.

[@susannes7023]

Love Dr Alban, this one is good but I think there are better songs. "Sing Hallelujah" has been mentioned, that's a great song. Also I like "Around the world" that he did with Jessica Folcker. Those are still on my Spotify list!

[@fudzzz]

I'm from Pakistan. This was our jam back in the day man. So strange to hear that this wasn't even a hit in the US. That's crazy to me.

[@Fjunas]

Ace of Base - All that she wants Cardigans - Lovefool The Knife - Heartbeats

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Haha I've heard all of those songs before

[@DoliSkipper]

The "joke artist" to listen to would be "Dr.Bombay", swedish dude dressing up in hindu get-up, and with lyrics like "-I eat my rice and curry!" I think you get the drift...

[@v0idgrim]

He is actually Danish :)

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Wow

[@Huxteble]

@@v0idgrim Han är väl skåning med ett danskklingande namn? Alltså svensk.

[@morgansjodin4859]

One of the best in the 90´s.. feel like for you it sad it didn´t reach you.. No cocain is so much better with Dr.Alban.. I where a small time DJ in those days and that song could wake any dancefloor.. especially with four 15" speakers from Cerwin-Vega! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Did two years for growing marijuana but I still love It! the music that is!

[@kattahj]

Just last week, another youtuber I follow did a reaction to the Bon Jovi song, and seeing the title I immediately started humming this song before I caught myself.

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Haha mind blown!

[@olsa76]

Det första de flesta tänker på när Dr Alban nämns brukar vara "Hello Africa "

[@erik....]

Eller "10 små moppepojkar".

[@MartinPralin]

No Coke!

[@bossem5461]

“Sing Hallelujah”. is even better

[@eeyore1593]

Stabilt, stabilt som fan... 😎

[@radekmolnarCZ]

Love this song

[@CristinaSwe]

If you haven't listened to Barbro Hörberg she is singing her poesy. Sadly, she passed away already 1976, so there is no live video on youtube, only her vocals. One of my favorites is “Med ögon känsliga grönt”, with eyes sensitive for green. It is possible to find ger text online. It does make a difference as she sings in Swedish and much of the love for her songs is the lyrics.

[@Sharpclaw2000]

You should try "flickan och kråkan" by Mikael Wiehe. Timbuktu made a cover of it, the original is very early synth-ish music so I think most would like timbuktus verison better... but the original is the original classic!

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

best stuff is when the music is the lyrics as far i know...speaks more to the spirit then the mind

[@Xenofonx]

If you want to do some Swedish Dansband, I highly recommend the pioneer Hip-Hop group Just D:s collaboration with the dansband Thorleifs: "Hur e D möjligt" or "Tre Gringos" (I fancy the first one most). Just D was to my knowledge first with rap in Swedish, but their style is very much their own.

[@JavierLopez-hm6yp]

Jonathan- you should go to the “we love the 90’s” shows. The lineups are old 90’s Eurodance groups and Acts. Like: SNAP, E-Type, Aqua, Haddaway,Dr.Alban.. All eurodance!!! And love!

[@discogareth]

The song soon became famous in the UK after first being used in a TV Tampon advert and soon climbed up the charts.

[@theth9033]

Like your take and used to LOVE this song! ‘No Coke’ is maybe even better

[@theth9033]

Sing Hallelujah as well

[@TheSixtoo]

"Keops pyramid" with hoola bandola band plsss!

[@bbeightynine]

I would say the two Dr Alban songs “No coke” and “Hallelujah” are even more “Swedish classics”. So do them too ☺️😁. MORE GENUINE SWEDISH CLASSICS: ============================== And I also love to see you make some E-type reactions - he must be good for at least 5-6 Swedish classics!! 😊 Start with “This is the way”, “Angels Crying” and “Here I go again” And you also really have to make some reacts to Tomas Ledin! Especially “Sommaren är kort”, ”En dag på stranden” and ”En del av mitt hjärta”. And some more with Marie Fredriksson and espcially her song ”Efter stormen”. And as a bonus song I throw in a ploy/comedic song that has become a real Swedish classic: “Gunther and the sunshine girls - Ding Dong Song” I am sure you will enjoy it 😁

[@pon1]

Even when this whole series is complete, there will STILL be a lot of songs that hasn't been covered here, there's just that many good songs in Swedish music culture. Or perhaps it will just never be complete? I still find a song now and then that is a classic that I've never heard :)
