coincidentally, i'm a fan of their meatballs


















mu-sic: noun.

2. a universal language of human society
syn. life

welcome.

tonight i am here for swedish meatballs, swedish music, and mullets that are also swedish.

topic: günther, basshunter
viewpoint: really sweden, really?

i wish i could say i discovered the musical stylings of jonas erik altberg and mats söderlund because i'm really into my cultural background. but no. i can't. i have message boards to thank instead. i'm okay with that though. these guys have the internet to thank for their global success.

but who are they?

jonas erik altberg. aka basshunter. his music, fame, and lifestyle gives hope to computer geeks of all ages. he takes the pressing issues that face our [online] society and turns them into some fantastic techno beats.

song recommendation #1: DotA
i don't play WoW. i never plan to play WoW. i'd rather not be associated with WoW. but hot damn, i'll sing about it in swedish til the cows come home dripping with sweat and chewing their pacifiers after a long night of raving. mix lyrics about sitting in a dark room with about 50 people playing WoW and talking about how 1337 they are cuz they pwn n00bs with the fresh thumpa-thumpa found in clubs around the world and you get one of basshunter's hit songs. but how? how can something so blatantly nerdy be so blatantly awesome? it's probably because most people don't know swedish but who knows.. he is kind of a looker.

song recommendation #2: Boten Anna
he knows a[n IRC] bot. her name is anna. and boy does she ban SO hard. jonas is totes in love. but then that wench crushes his heart. how? she's not actually a bot. she's a real girl! [oh snap crackle and pop!] well whatevs. he'll just pretend anna is made of computer parts. that way his love is definitely reasonable, right?

song recommendation #3: Vifta Med Handerna
stop. collaborate and listen. think this kid's all techno? fo shiz he is. but techno includes remixes with white swedish rappers. basshunter gets together with patrik and lillen for clubbing, pimping, jumping, and hand waving. they have a pretty swell time gettin their fancy flute glass drink on. and being the bad boys that they are, they get kicked out da club. probs cuz they brought cheerleaders in to do some stunts and the club owners weren't down with the idea of major liability. that or the girl patrik/lillen hit on got a restraining order after having to bitch slap some n00bs.


mats söderlund. aka günther. swedish sexpert. this guy is a.b.s.r.d. [all 'bout sexual revolution... danceparty] you think i'm kidding? i'm not.. but sometimes i wish i was..

fun fact: all the successful musical sexual revolutions are in english, so no worries, günther planned accordingly.

song recommendation #1: Tutti Frutti Summer Love
it's a hot, hot summer night and it's full of bananas and melonas.. yeah! günther knows how to party and he brought a trampoline. everyone's obvs invited as long as you're a hot swede who's not afraid to show off yo bod-ay.

song recommendation #2: Teeny Weeny String Bikini
i don't know bout you but i came here to dance. and so did the sunshine girls. and the boys with the hand towels wrapped loosely around their hips to hid their speed[o] bump. yes. they are dancing the night away, swinging their heads from side to side with some sassy snaps. but watch out, mr. sexpert himself shows off his booty while the sunshine girls get close on the beach.

song recommendation #3: Ding Dong Song
no. it's not about twinkies but günther brought his hohos, the sunshine girls. as always it's a hot, hot summer night and everyone is hooking up with everyone else at the same time. günther's happy because their all touching his tra-la-la [which i assume is his porn stache..], mmm, his ding ding dong. and wait! that's not all! günther actually TAKES OFF his sunglasses and the world starts spinning in reverse.

final thoughts: umm. wow. tanks sweden. you've provided us with some of the best musical talent available. you guys def beat norway on the awesome scale.
