Amerikanen Reacts To Svenska Klassiker: Robert Broberg - Ingela

[@susannes7023]

Robert Broberg was, like Povel Ramel, a combination of singer/performer and comedian, he plays with the words in his songs and often make them mean more than one thing at the same time. This can be very difficult to get when swedish is not your first language. Robert was a true genious.

[@nilnaelil]

The Robert Brobert song for me is "Vatten", but then I guess I might relate to it more since it's a song about Stockholm.

[@jtl4846]

I think the same, and im not from Stockholm and to young for Vattenfestivalen!😆 Latchobolaget pling och plong är också skön

[@jonashansson2320]

For something slower, Robert Brobergs "Båtlåt" would be great. No problems following along in the pace, but I would be really impressed with your swedish skills if you had no problems following the lyrics. :) It's a great little love song. :)

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

"Båtlåt" is coming soon...

[@bigbang1891]

For the 379's time please Check out Rober Brobergs "Öken" 🤣🤣 it's not slow. But the wordplay in that song is phenomenal, and sometimes hilarious.

[@barrelmeisterproductions5888]

As said many times below. Robert Brobergs "Vatten" is a classic and in my opinion, his best song.

[@Asa...S]

I can´t see a hearse without hearing Robert Broberg sing "Min bil är inte lik din bil, det är en likbil" in my head. And sometimes when I'm at a traffic light staring at a "röd gubbe" I hear him sing "Gubbe gubbe röd, varför blir du aldrig grön"... You don´t have to react to those, but you you should definitely react to more Robert Broberg! He was a cultural icon, it´s a lot of wordplay and puns, which is probably quite hard when not being a native Swedish speaker, but perhaps it´s a great way to learn and have a bit of fun at the same time. Check out his performances of "Båtlåt" and "Vatten" from "Allsång på Skansen" for instance. Two very nice summery songs.

[@Superknullisch]

You must do the "Far jag kan inte få upp min kokosnöt" by Povel Ramel!! A MUST!! hehe! Another true classic!

[@Steffe]

He was a cultural icon. I remember a radio show where a fan called in and read him a line that the fan figured would work in a Broberg song. Some time later the song was released.

[@nevzzonerose5684]

Hellre vara ute på hal is och ha det glatt, än att gå i lera och sörja 😉

[@MayaShantiSoulpeace]

I suggest that you listen to Björn Skifs "Håll mitt hjärta". I would call it a classic swedish gospel/anthem.

[@Griexxt]

He was also in some popular children's TV shows in the late 60's, early 70's, which explains why he is so fondly remembered by Swedes of a certain age.

[@DaP84]

Please, react to some more Jakob Hellman! "Vara Vänner" is another classic from his very hyped first album

[@ma6835]

Hej Jonathan, vad kul att få höra din reaktion på Robban! Jag har sett att många föreslagit ”Du är den ende” med Lill Lindfors och jag kan bara hålla med. Det är en klassiker. Om du vill grotta ner dig riktigt djupt i den vemodiga avdelningen av den svenska folksjälen ska du lyssna och reagera på ”Visa från Utanmyra” med Jan Johansson och Georg Riedel. Det blir inte mycket vackrare än så.

[@malinhaglund3989]

He did also do more seriuos songs. This is a beutiful song. ”Spring inte så fort pappa” and ”Älskar vi varandra när vi vaknar”.

[@tommiejonsson8952]

Well, there is "Carola" which is NOT about swedish singer Carola, but a german nude-model and a lot of words in the song are in german. Then we have "Uppblåsbara Barbara" which is a tribute to a swedish sex-doll, and Maria-Therese which is not humorous at all, but kind of romantic.

[@lisakovanen1975]

"Sånt är livet" med Anita Lindblom. Gammal klassiker!

[@finbom]

Respect to you for listning, honoring and reacting to Robert Broberg Who was a genius.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Har inte lyssnat på den här låten på många, många år. Men vad som slår mig nu är vilken otroligt avancerad produktion det är för när den är inspelad. Riktigt fett blås och snygga sångharmonier/pålägg!

[@inzizor]

Robert is definitely a wordsmith. Most of his lyrics have double meanings in some way. In this case Ingela and "ingen la(la)" sung in the same way.

[@neverlandtribe235]

Yay, my name is Ingela 😌💕 (hard to find people born in the 90’s named Ingela - it’s an oldie but a goldie name for sure haha) Edit: OF COURSE IT’S A BANGER! 😂🙌🏼

[@kittyk1687]

En till här, född 88 🙋😄 Aldrig stött på nån annan under 50, du är den första 🤣🙌

[@ingelakarlholm]

@@kittyk1687 här är en till som heter Ingela, född 80! Jag var ensam under hela min skoltid med att heta Ingela.

[@jerryhall5709]

Dinga Linga Lena is another one about a girl by Pugh Rogefeldt.

[@ulfosback9093]

Mikael Wiehe Flickan och Kråkan is a good song.

[@katam6471]

Back in the 70s my classmate Ingela was not amused when the boys sung this to her. :-)

[@kattahj]

Jag växte upp med Brobergs "Höjdare" där låtarna är remixade/nyinspelade, så det var ovant att höra den här versionen! När en klasskompis flyttade gav vi henne ett blandband som inleddes med den här låten.

[@ulfosback9093]

Pugh Rogefelt Hog farm there you have a real rock classic whith guitar riff to die for. Love your reactions by the way.

[@clappingsound]

Yup its a big happy jam session! And yup again, there's a whole lot a tjejjer on there...I always felt that the jamsession feel of this song reflects my soul. /Regards Ingela...

[@Huxteble]

Låten ger ADHD-vibbar, precis som Robert Brobergs (offentliga) personlighet gav. Jag har inte hört denna på många år men hade aldrig tänkt på att Ingela har en funky bassline, men det stämmer ju! Najs, tack för det. Fun fact: Introvisslingen användes av Sveriges Radios P3 som deras signaturljud under många år på 90-talet.

[@brunojonsson7106]

Reagera gärna till "If I used to love you" med Daniel Lemma. En super låt från ett av Sveriges bästa album.

[@momma636]

His song underbara uppblåsbara Barbara listen to that.

[@Nubbe999]

I know of Robert Broberg, I know he has good songs but I don't have any titles in my head. I guess the same is for many people growing up with him, watching him on tv, and so on. They know he is a real artist but don't remember the title of his songs and therefore you didn't get any song title until now. As I remember him he had like an overall on stage and there where always a lot of color around him. I wonder if he was an painter to, he must have been

[@tangfors]

I have not really thought that humor and songs are a real Swedish thing. Or I guess it used to be more in English songs before in old drink songs and sailor songs etc but that it rarely occurs in modern American songs. In Sweden, comedy and music are very common. Others who have also done such songs includes Galenskaparna, Rolandz, Markoolio, Grotesco, Hasse & Tage. Are they the most musically advanced songs? Certainly not, but are they part of Swedish culture? Yes, most definitely.

[@Uhlgarth]

Recommendation: Hasse "Kvinnaböske" Andersson - Änglahund

[@TheSteffovic]

Bra rekommendation. Finns inte så många svenska klassiker i denna genre.

[@skankox69]

The original 1969 video is fantastic!

[@davidbergstrom5911]

Jonathan, You were right. These are the songs from the album “Tjejer”: Tjejjer Carola Lajla 1 Ingela Ulla-trapid Ellen Lajla 2 Elaine Lajla 3 Mariga Mary Uppblåsbara Barbara Marie Aurora Rosenkvist Köttbullar Elisabeth Gun Ahrén Rut Blenda Tjejjer He has released even more songs about girls. I like “Maria-Therese”. React to it!

[@pon1]

Haha, synd att det inte fanns en Margit låt om en som var elak, det hade ju vart full pott! Mariga Mary kom ju ganska nära dock :)

[@jonashansson2320]

He should definately react to "Uppblåsbara Barbara". Truly a classic and that girl is something else. :D

[@TheNeckbender]

A cultural icon. True. Some make fun of him, and some really enjoy his kind wittyness.

[@malinhaglund3989]

The most popularitet songs from albumet tjejer except Ingela is: Uppblåsbara Barbara and Carola. Listen to them and I promiss you will smile.

[@ceciliaastrom816]

Jag har en härlig klassiker du måste lyssna på. Låten ”Habba habba zoot zoot” 😅. Nån som minns den?

[@lisakovanen1975]

"Diggi-Loo Diggi-ley" med Herreys.

[@bjornjonsson6583]

Yes, all the songs on the album is about women, like Mariga Mary (about a girl that no guy can get), Ulla Trapid (A very slow girl, so it's a wordplay with the word "ultrarapid") and Uppblåsbara Barbara (about a sex toy for men). Except for one that is called "Köttbullar" which I don't know the reason for.

[@Divig]

He also sold out Globen several times. He was a cultural phenomena. If you want to react to a swedish classic about a sex toy, react to his Uppblåsbara Barbara ;)

[@iamapotato]

*Robert Broberg - Båtlåt*

[@josefinasoderholm6488]

You should se his live performances!! When he performed it was a party!!

[@christerfurberg7720]

Båtlåt, like people have said. But also try Underbara uppblåsbara Barbara! Btw, a "pingla" is 60-70's slang for a pretty girl.

[@liselottejconsoli567]

Please react to "Talking to the Man in the Moon" by Titiyo.

[@Huxteble]

Pionjär för svensk modern soul. Superklassiker!

[@LePeaux]

Please, react to Atomic Swing - Smile. :)

[@SLDIKJF]

yes, that is a good suggestion!

[@lisakovanen1975]

"Carola" and "Underbara, uppblåsbara Barbara" är två mycket kända låtar om tjejer.

[@Motbilder]

He started out with skiffle band. If you want a taste of singing style in your own language, try Robans Skiffle Group's "Sometimes".

[@lisasivertsson3636]

En riktigt bra låt jag kom att tänka på är " Han jobbar i affär" med Lena Philipsson. Kolla när hon uppträder live.

[@roslanflod5206]

He was a very popular artist

[@C.Silfverbielke]

Listen to Janne Lucas - Växeln hallå

[@christinagustafsson7763]

Listen to ”Öken”!

[@lillemorhagglund1864]

Something completely different tog react to if you haven't done it already ...Stefan Andersson "Catch the moon".

Lill Lindfors "Du är den enda" LP versionen

[@danielhellgren7082]

You’ve got to do a band called Atomic swing , their songs ’smile’ and ’stone me into the groove’ is the best ones.

[@dennisjohansson4609]

Listening to this with only one earbud became confusing 😆

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

I noticed the ear to ear switches too!

[@SLDIKJF]

I have to repost what another user said a while back, Timbuktu is a definite must. I assume you have heard him as you have listened to a lot of Swedish rap, but song suggestions: - Alla vill till himelen - Det löser sig - Flickan och kråkan (remake of other song you should listen to if you havent with Michael Wiehe)

[@raymondengstrom1078]

You should listen to these songs: Stakka Bo - Here we go Rednex - Cotton eye Joe Ace of Base - The sign Beagle - The things that we say

[@Lordsdotter]

My first name is Ingela. I've always been tortured by ppl with this damn song since i was i kid 😂😝

[@sannaolsson9106]

He has alot of fun songs. You HAVE to check out Öken 😁

[@Brokenintwoarms]

Can you do Robert Broberg - Det är inget särskilt med mig? That song is a bit slower, longer and the lyrics are funny but smart.

[@idanorrman6933]

You should listen to Jon Henrik with the song Norrsken You haven't listened to anything like that one.

[@annarensfeldtflink3425]

Har du reagerat på något med Melissa Horn? Hon är den svenska melankolins okrönta drottning och gör deppigheten riktigt vacker. Tex "Lät du henne komma närmre".

[@vansting]

I think this is a New recording of the song from 1969

[@g83ster]

No, this is the original. But there is a re-recording on the album Höjdare from 1991.

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

I was trying my best to find the original. Glad I did!

[@fromSweden4u]

Lyssna på fantastiska "min bil är inte lik din bil det är en likbil"!

[@tangfors]

It would be fun if you do Grotesco tingling. Nu när du ändå snöat in på humorspåret : D

[@Neumah]

There was a quite popular song by Clawfinger back in 1993. An anti-racist song called... well... ehm... Ni##er. I remember digging it a lot back then but sheesh. I'd like to se a reaction to that one in 2021 lol

[@filippak2302]

Heartbets med the knife😇

[@roslanflod5206]

Maria-Terese is beautiful

[@brunojonsson7106]

Ok, här kommer ett till förslag på låt att reagera till......" They're Building Walls Around Us" av Moneybrother

[@Frizzi04]

Please listen to om sanningen ska fram with Eric Amarillo

[@polmus]

Magnus Uggla - Trubaduren ta den Pleease! Tror du kommer gilla den! Magnus Uggla som du lyssnat på var inte representivt! Även han har väldigt mycket variation!

[@googleuser9975]

The newer rerecording of this song is better. This version sounds a bit like you said- a jamsession. Please try the other recording, it's much better

[@Superknullisch]

This is a true classic, however, this is a slower version hahah! Pretty ok, but there's a much better one! This one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX-ulaaufaeAf5o Ingela (1991)

[@miajansson4787]

Båtlåt, öken ! Klassiker !!! men framför allt… pappa se min hand ❤️ ingen klassiker men ett måste att lyssna på.

[@marie-louiseroos1502]

Gör Sven Ingvars Lilla fröken fräken

[@annabjorkman7049]

Inspelningen från 1991 av Ingela på albumet höjdare tycker jag personligen är bättre 🙌

[@jockesander6219]

Jag säger bara ”Öken” :)

[@polara1se]

Robert broberg-öken.

[@woodsmanNo1]

That was kind of a strange version of that song with echos and to much instruments 🤔. I like the more simple version better.
