Amerikanen reacts to Svenska klassiker GES - När Vi Gräver Guld i USA

[@helenascheele5922]

The song, the team, the excitement unified Sweden that summer. Very special

[@northbreeze0198]

There is a reason this song is still played on Swedish radio 30 years later. It's just so captivating. 😀

[@johnnyrosenberg9522]

If you are not familiar with these three guys' careers, I'll just mention that the three lines ”Flickirna har blommor i sitt hår”, ”Där står alla flickorna på rad” and ”Tillsammans är vi oslagbara” are all references to earlier individual hits buy these three guys.

[@christinesalomonsson1082]

That summer is soo memorable. I had my second son the 2 of July. All of the fathers and most of the mothers crowded in the TV-room in the hospital. Someone screamed: His name will be Martin! And the summer was so hot - I could not sleep bc of the heat, my new baby and ppl screaming in the neighbourhood bc the matches were sent on tv in the middle of the night. And this song is so connected to that summer.

[@korvkioskshelvete]

Sommaren -94. Bästa sommaren någonsin!

[@carinahansson2361]

Den var magisk, helt obeskrivligt underbar!

[@Merecir]

1994 - Mest händelserika året någonsin. Tänk på något som hände på 90-talet... Stor chans att det hände 1994.

[@henrikpersson-s4o]

I was 10 years old, and i will never forget it. Every swede had to to up at night in order to watch the games, and then all the kids played fotball every single day. The greatest summer of my life.

[@susannes7023]

Hahaha, I just found this and I can't stop watching this one... One of the best songs ever, brings back memories of that amazing summer -94, and your reaction is hilarious! 😆😆😆 I was 20 back then and I laughed in a very bigsisterly way at my younger brother when he started to sit up all night watching the game. But a week later I sat right there next to him... Love this one!

Låttips: "Stad i Ljus" - Tommy Körberg

[@TheKajix]

Textraderna, Flickorna har blommor i sitt hår Där står alla pojkarna på rad Tillsammans är vi oslagbara är hänvisningar till GES tidigare individuella låtar, "Hon har blommor i sitt hår" av Glenmark, "Då står pojkarna på rad" av Eriksson och "Oslagbara" av Strömstedt! De låtarna skulle du också kunna react to. 😎

[@E.T.Persson]

TheKajix neeeeeeeeej det räcker!! Så svennigt! 😆 cringe

[@GallifreyeanTrailers]

Midsommar at Skrea strand in Falkenberg with all my friends, then home to see every match with the same friends and being totally ecstatic about every goal, despite not really being into soccer. Hello 94, i can't believe you've been gone for 27 years.

[@tommiejonsson8952]

Oh, this brings back memories. Because the championship was played in the United States, most games were played at a time when it was the middle of the night in Sweden. All soccerfans set their alarm-clocks to get up and watch the games in real-time on TV.

[@wileymeep]

Vilket nöje att kolla in dina reaktioner! Sådan nostalgitripp för en annan genom dina videos

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Thanks for watching

[@Hjoification]

Your energy makes me happy 😀 And you are fantastically good at pronouncing swedish. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnblynther7735]

Watching your reaction to the songs in all of your videos is the reason why I keep watching them. It´s priceless.

[@charizardddc]

If you liked that one, you could also listen to 'Nu Tar Vi Dom', by Håkan Södergren (and the Swedish hockey team). Heck, you even got 'Den Glider In', by Nick Borgen (that even other countrys around Sweden uses to celebrate with).

[@NielsRask-tillsammans]

Summer of 94. So many memories...

[@BooN1337]

Yo Jonathan! This is lit man! It's like the fourth or fifth time watching it in like 24h, and it still makes me smile n feel so friggn' good! I've only heard you in AMK Morgon and it's a pleasure erry time. Imma have my eyes open for when you're coming to Malmö next time doing some stand-up. I'll be there for sure. Wish you all the best bro. Peace

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Thanks for the kind words and support! I'll be down to Malmö as soon as I can. Make sure to come say hello afterwards. Take care

I had a great time watching this and singing along. It's just do much fun to see you react. Makes me wanna go back to Guate to show them more swedish music.

[@chalphon4907]

I still get goose bumps when I hear the intro to that song...

[@notyourmother1602]

If you listen to the lyrics between 3:56 to 4:04 then you will hear/read: “blommor i sitt hår (Glennmark) Där står alla pojkarna på rad (Orup) Tillsammans är vi oslagbara (Strömstedt)” And those three lines are from all the three artists.

[@zirie3332]

And the title it self has a double layer as well, referencing the big migration from Sweden during the 19th century to the new land in west, America... where you w(c)ould find gold.

[@megan88]

If you think the recording is banging just imagine how the stadiumversion is like with EVERYBODY around singing along and the energie and the band giving it

[@baxterstockman3456]

Fun fact: you've met the E in GES during the AMK uppesittarkväll. Thomas Ericsson. Also known as Orup.

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

I didn't want to brag about meeting him but yeah I was aware of that. ;)

[@baxterstockman3456]

​@@JonathanRollinssthlm305 Fair enough. Want to see more regarding this track i recommend you to watch Hjältarnas hemkomst on svtplay. At about 62 minutes in GES perform the song with the 94 world cup team at the welcoming reception in Rålambshovsparken. Epic moment in the history of television broadcast in sweden.

[@FamousGirlfriend]

”Pluggrundan” from AMK brought me here :D LOVE THIS!

Thanks for coming

[@EmilJohanssonEOC]

I remember singing this in school in elementary school. Probably inspired a lot of children to go for a football career.

[@Zabiru-]

Yep. I was 6 when we won the bronze. I began playing football that very summer and played until I was 16 :)

[@birthekjaersman4241]

This reminds me of the night I watched the semi final that summer. But also the song "Om" with Niklas Strömstedt, PLEASE do that for me. The lyrics are awsome.

[@susannes7023]

I want that one too, I'll keep requesting it until I get it! 😆

[@E.T.Persson]

Love your svenska, no joke. 💙

[@antonwessman684]

Låttips! Sercret Service - Oh Susie. Var listetta i 29 länder! Ebba Grön - Die Mauer. En låt som kan förena typ alla svenskar födda mellan 1960 till 1990 i allsång. Minst.

[@TzunSu]

Gillar den breada spreaden på dessa rekommendationer :D

[@MissEnemark]

Die Mauer!! Så jävla bra 👏🏻

[@leob4403]

Finns mängder av Ebba Grön-låtar som är bättre imo

glorius summer 94' was 11 and watched the WC in my mom and stepdads summer cabin on an black and white 14 inch tv in the middle of the night with my brother....great memories!

[@gruu]

I agree with the part you said that it sounds like the beginning of sitcom, it totally does xD I'm not a fan of GES, I think they've always sounded too boybandish but this song rules. It was on the radio constantly in the 90's

[@polmus]

Probably the most rememberable Bronze ever lol, I remember playing football that year, and it was beautiful weather :)

[@baxterstockman3456]

Björn Skifs - Michaelangelo

[@klaskristian1]

Orup one of the singer in GES is pretty good. He has written some good songs. "Det är bara regnhos mej" is my favourite

[@rogerlundstrom6926]

Not only do GES have quite a few decent tunes, they all individually were quite decent solo artists before they started collaborating.

[@magnuscarlsson86]

So fun to see! Im gets happy when you're smiling ;)

[@Tonyzzon]

There is an English version of this song, made by another Swedish artist, Amanda Jensen. But it's more about the Seville War. A down tembo song, but good.

[@Twooshort]

The favorite song of every swede who remembers that summer.

[@NerdySwede]

Still your best reaction haha I love it!

[@birthekjaersman4241]

These lyrics: Flickorna har blommor i sitt hår Där står alla pojkarna på rad Tillsammans är vi oslagbara They are extracts from other songs made by these guys. Check them out too

You have TONS of great swedish songs to do. Just saying;))

[@anderslavas4101]

Please do "Nu tar vi dom", a song written for the Swedish team at an ice hockey championship. It was sung by people in the hockey team and it was written by Lasse Holm.

[@sivoog9525]

Great vid, keep it up

[@Merecir]

You got to check out Amanda Jenssen's live cover of the same song from a TV-show: "When we dig for gold in the USA" It should hit much harder for an American as it is more about the people migrating there for a better life, also in English. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqKmm36CnM6Ua68

Kolla upp Amanda Jenssens When we dig for gold in the usa. Det är en cover från tv programmet 'så mycket bättre'. Hon får det på något sätt att låta som att det är skrivet om den stora utvandringen till amerika. Mycket mer sorglig
