It was also in several episodes of the TV-series Ally McBeal (1997-2002).

This song was no 1 on the Billboard chart on April 6th 1974 which was also the exact day that ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo and this is now viewed as the starting date for the "Swedish Music Wonder" which is the start of Sweden on the international music stage.

Thank you, and thank Guardians of the Galaxy for refreshing my memory. This song is the same age as me. I love it to pieces, hooga-chacka and all. Björn is also such a nice person 👍🏻

[@Annicaconst]

You know Björn Skifs is the Singer you Have seen singing in the royal Wedding of Crown princess Viktoria and prince Daniel

[@lillanlofgren7424]

yes ..and Agnes

The band 'Blue Swede' was called 'Blåblus' in Sweden before they aimed for an international career. 'Blå" means 'blue' and 'blus' is 'blouse'. However how we pronounce 'blus' is the same as we say the English word 'blues' with a Swedish pronunciation. So it's a pun, that is impossible to understand, not knowing Swedish. Hence they needed a better name outside of Sweden, so why not tell the world wherefrom you come? If they was a no.1 on the chart, where did they go? Two things stopped them. 1. They weren't prepared for how they were received by the fans! The fans were like crazy, not like the Beatles', but not far from. That was the first shock, then followed a line of culture shocks, both just regular, one country to another, but mostly how showbiz worked. In Sweden they were experienced guys, been around for a while, but Sweden was a little baby in the cradle, compared to the USA. (Nowadays differences aren't that overwhelming.) 2. They didn't expect that enormous hit and breakthrough coming that fast, and had a booked schedule for playing in Sweden for around six months, and that is too long for the audience to remember you enough well for booking a grander tour. So it just faded out. Björn has said, just a few years ago, that, at that time they were disappointed, but they have had great careers anyway, and thinking of how overwhelmed and small they felt during the short tour and TV shows they actually did, it was probably for the best it turned out the way it did. Two other songs that went well in the USA was 'SILLLY MILLY' and 'HUSH/I'M ALIVE'. If you want to check out another Swedish song (except from 'Håll mitt hjärta' as I proposed to you the other day) 'Krama dej'. Swedish lyrics, shortly about a guy, going to a (typical mid seventies) disco, dancing like we did at that time, 6-7' away from your partner. Not especially intimate, all he wants is "krama dej", "hug you", imagining being home in the sofa and "krama dej".

Awesome song....fantastic singer!

[@attesmatte]

I've lost count on the number of times I've heard Americans say "What?? This is a Swedish artist?? I had no idea!" 😂 😂 Cotton Eye Joe with Rednex is probably the most common one getting that reaction/comment. 😜

[@orjanjosefsson9588]

The original is from 1968 by B. J. Thomas. Blue Swede version also in Reservoir Dogs from Quentin Tarantino.

[@ingsve]

The Ooga chaka part was not actually original to this cover but was added in another cover in 1971 by Jonathan King. A swedish record executive was in England and heard the Jonathan King cover and thought it was very unique so he brought it home with him to have it be recorded by a Swedish artist which was the origin of this cover.

[@jillsanelii]

Another song i dont think you know is swedish is Moviestar by Harpo!! Do that one as well 😍

[@perch1057]

Wow Paul.. You just got a perfect hook, - on the swedish Ö...! Let's hear the Å and the Ä in the future...My very, very best..

[@tryggveafanga]

It was in Guardians of the galaxy

[@annkristin3457]

You can also hear the song every time the dancing baby appears on Ally McBeal

[@71bagarn]

You are one of very few reactors I like watching! Well done Paul! (Might be biased since I have seen a lot of Swedish songs here, yeah i'm Swedish.) :D

[@annelieehn7685]

Something I haven't seen many react to yet is Moviestar-Harpo

Björn Skifs hit "Michelangelo" is even better👌😉 Wonderful guy and voice but unfortunately the most mismanaged career ever in my opinion🙄

Yeah, your right. Didn't knew that before you compelled me into checking.👍 It's just that Björn Skifs version is more popular I guess.
