'Det Börjar Verka Kärlek, Banne Mej' lyrics
I förrgår sade jag plötsligt nej till killarna
När de skulle ha ett party
Sedan satt jag en hel kväll och konverserade
Med din mamma och var artig
Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig
Sånt som man ser på bio, tänka sig
Jag är väl misstänksam
Men tanken sticker fram
Men för all del
Jag kan ha fel
I går kväll gick jag med dig på en snyftare
Fast jag ville gå på pang-pang
Och sedan satt jag och hörde på en stråkkvartett
Jag som bara gillar dang-dang
Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig
Sånt som det står i böcker, tänka sig
Jag fattar ingenting
Jag är väl lite ding
Så för all del
Jag kan ha fel
I morse sjöng jag när jag borstade tänderna
Och sedan fick jag arbetsdille
Sedan ringde jag till dig om inte nånting alls
Bara för jag plötsligt ville
Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig
Sånt där som händer andra, tänka sig
Det mesta pekar på
Att jag är kär och så
Men för all del
Jag kan ha fel
Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig
Sånt där som händer andra, tänka sig
Det mesta pekar på
Att jag är kär och så
Men för all del
Jag kan ha fel
Jag kan ha fel

If this is the EBU’s way of paying tribute to the Eurovision acts that passed away this year, it’s actually seriously cool of them to do. I hope they also honor some from years that haven't been part of Eurovision Again.

[@veryinactiveukmapping]

i think they need to obtain permission from broadcasters for the older contests so i think the ones they post are the ones they've obtained permission for for eurovision again but i do agree it would be awesome and sweet if they posted other years as well

[@luiscondeblazquez8518]

They could reconstruct the 1964 Song Contest

[@vdan3821]

Vila i frid, Claes-Göran❤ Rest in peace. This is an unforgettable classic.

[@cococovers1333]

Legendary song here in sweden! Legendarisk låt!

[@House..231Van]

Another great song from Sweden 🇸🇪 👏.1960s Eurovision songs are brilliant

Very happy to see Eurovision sharing old songs that deserve great appreciation. I hope they will continue !

[@stefanenglishman954]

*Amazing song from the time when Sweden used to sent songs in Swedish. I wish i could hear another song in Swedish language at Eurovision. RIP Claes Göran!* 😥

[@hejda3334]

Fantastic toungue work.

[@hrvatskacroatia1157]

the song is good, especially since it may be a difficult language, but swedish fits perfectly here i'm impressed with the song🙂

[@kielonekbambi1945]

Such a classic, my favourite song from that year

[@SchlagerLucas]

RIP national treasure.

[@MID128]

One of the absolute best songs ever in Eurovision. This is the first song for me everytime i'm at a karaoke.

[@tjalletvarvigg6979]

So simple so good.

[@cgfischer]

Rest in peace... just by the way, I can't believe how the official channel seems to be the only one that can upload old contest entries in such a fantastic quality.

[@SuperJNG18]

Look up SvenskTV as well, there are a ton of old contests there in spectacular quality, including a few that weren't a part of Eurovision Again.

[@morbidsearch]

Eurovision Gold has been uploading fantastic remasters of old ESC entries. They even managed to clean up the poor quality footage of Eurovision 1978

[@SuperJNG18]

@@morbidsearch Yeah, she and SvenskTV work together all the time. They just did 1977 and I have never seen a copy of that year until this one that didn’t look like actual ass, so I highly recommend that one.

[@SuperJNG18]

I’m just running through all the past contests that are now readily-available in high quality off the top of my head, and I honestly think at this point it’s easier to say the contests that’s NOT true for (1956-57, 60-62, 64, 66, 78, and 82, and even then I might be wrong).

[@eltkin5008]

Bästa mello/eurovision låten genom tiderna

[@herrmajestat]

So happy to see the channel upload this masterpiece of an entry 😄

[@Brash_Candicoot]

Unfortunately, this was uploaded because the singer died recentely😔

[@herrmajestat]

@@Brash_Candicoot we were lucky to have him. Some years ago he participated in the middle act of Melodifesfivalen ❤️

[@birgittaalfredsson-xi2ew]

Älskade han och låten ❤

[@ESCBaku]

Amazing song. I want more XX century songs in this channel.

[@violawar]

Grate vocal, so deep :)

[@ВячеславГладилин-э7т]

Хорошая песня, очень позитивный исполнитель был P.S. Счётчик облизываний губ: 27

[@kulera]

Oh wow why did they post this? I actually discovered this song earlier this year and I’ve been listening to it nonstop. Should have won.

[@thecrookedcap]

The singer recently passed away.

[@kulera]

@@thecrookedcap that feels like a dagger through my heart 🗡️ 💔 😢 may he rest in peace 🌹

[@Richardsonprincess00]

So many artists of ESC of the late 1950's '60s, '70s even '80s & '90s passed on of deaths. Can you do ESC in memories?

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Memoriam... I mean...sorry I misspelled.

[@lucamagic]

Vila i frid / Rest In Peace🙏❤️

[@Lightskin_stuff]

En klassiker👌🏽

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

I mean, I can understand. I, too, love Verka. Jokes aside, such a banger of a song. RIP

[@tombrunila2695]

Great voice. Fantastisk röst! He had not yet turned 23. Han hade annu inte fyllt 23.

[@jenny72]

Kult😊🎶🎵🎶

[@DanTony68]

Could you also pay a tribute to Mattis Hætta who died on November 9th ? He represented Norway in 1980, together with Sverre Kjelsberg (1946-2016) with the song "Sámiid Ædnan".

[@yngvenilsson]

Det börjar verka kärlek banne mej är en toppenbra låt med Claes-Göran Hedström

The early days of schlager music. R.I.P.

[@mattiasakemalm1412]

Jag tycker han var riktigt bra och hans andra låtar är väl värda att lyssna på. Mogen röst för att bara vara 22 bast.

[@emiliobello2538]

Johnny Logan did the same so where is the problem?

[@BlueUmbrella5584]

@@Schnipp08 I don't know what Johnny Logan did or didn't do and it doesn't matter. He's not the "guiding light".

[@finnsuomi1719]

Hahah, looks ridiculous. But the song is good as is his voice..

[@EmmelineSama]

To focus on the performanceor has dry lips because when you perform you either drink a lot of water because of the warm lights shining on you, plus he has a lot of clothes on or.. lick your lips.. Claes-Göran Hederström is no longer with us, sadly.

[@FerayGames]

Sorry Eurovision this contest very unfair because best songs come last and weirdo weirdo people come first You are being unfair to the reason that Turkey will not participate in Eurovision next year in 2023.

[@morbidsearch]

Turkey used to get a ton of votes purely from having diaspora across the continent. Staying out actually makes the contest a bit fairer :)

[@quiquebellido2657]

Please, be a bit more respectful with the winner. She won again few time ago when this page offered us 1968 in “Eurovision Again”

[@filiparjagdet5385]

Rest in peace❤❤
