Indie pop goes the swedish librarian.
If like me you go weak at the knees for swedish girls singing catchy left of centre pop songs then you too will have rejoiced at the recently announced Glastonbury line-up. For this summer there will be (WARNING: lazy Swedish pun approaching) a smorgasbord of swedish pop sirens (BAM!) performing. A relatively small smorgasboard perhaps, one with only enough room for three different catchy melody infused dishes but for the interests of tacky Scandinavian wordplay in this post, a smorgasbord none the less. In honour of this here’s our favourite five* swedish pop songs to sing along with at the world’s greatest festival.
* It’s five plus one fave songs because we love each of these three artists equally so gave them two songs each.
1. THOSE DANCING DAYS – Hitten
Sweetness songified. But not sickly at all.
2. THOSE DANCING DAYS – Those Dancing Days
Can’t think what to call your jaunty new tune? Then just repeat your band name!
I’ll dance with you Robyn.
4. ROBYN – Call Your Girlfriend
I haven’t got a girlfriend Robyn. Do you want to be my girlfriend?
I am more than a little bit in love with you Lykke Li.
(5 +1 =) 6. LYKKE LI – Tonight
Tonight, I’ve been given a restraining order for stalking swedish pop stars. Karin Andersson, watch out.
