Nigel and his mother discuss the idea of becoming Swedish, but Uncle Ingmar has other plans......

Lyrics:

Mommy, I want to be Swedish
'casue I love my Bergman films
Mommy, I want to be Swedish
I’ve been in love with Liv Ullman all my life

I want to ride allthe reindeer
and make fun of Norwegians every day
I want to wear bright embrodiered
dresses
and shop IKEA for all I crave

Mommy, I want to be Swedish
cause I love the panacookin
Mommy, I want to be Swedish
I’d love to have death over for some tea


Mommy, I want to be Swedish
cause I love the panacookin
Mommy, I want to be Swedish
casue I love my Bergman
and I love Liv Ullman
I’d love to have death over for tea

Uncle Ingmar or Uncle Ernie? &mdash 04/22/05 - 07:50:12 PM
For some reason this reminded me of something The Who might have cut out of Tommy. Totally bizarre and great production.

Too cool &mdash 04/22/05 - 09:46:11 PM
Almost forgot- great job including power chords and sweet rock harmonies
in this. Reminded me of one of my all time favorite bands- Sweet.

Too cool &mdash 04/23/05 - 01:14:23 AM
The first rock lshow I ever saw was Sweet. They were amazing! I'll never
forget when the drummer did his solo. Three screens came down and he was
playing 3 different set's of drums. Timbales on one screen, timpani on
another and on the one directly behind him, another trap kit. It all worked
together perfectly and this was 1977!
Thanks for the kind words about my tune.

This touches my soul.

It is a bad touch, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks, I laughed out loud at this!

In the UK we say "Mummy" &mdash 04/25/05 - 06:49:09 AM
The guys in Spinal Tap just have the edge over you for the British accents (but it's close and your Swedish one was pretty hot too) and I still don't like your guitar sound as much as I could (still a bit toppy and thin) but just had me grinning like an idiot.

Check out a British comedian called Bill Bailey. Ex Royal college of Music does stand up with instruments. Very big over here (TV, own West End one man show etc.) Send him this, he'd love it.

Woody Allen rock &mdash 04/25/05 - 08:23:17 AM
Fun 80's retro feel with a Woody Allen concept. Love the
sense of humor, the tight performance, the quality mix.
Solid track.

When you get to Sweden... &mdash 04/25/05 - 03:19:52 PM
...say hello to the Swedish Chef. Awesome tune.

Music for blondes &mdash 04/28/05 - 04:56:28 AM
I luv Liv Ullman too. Mmm. Also on the list: Gnome
women, Viking spoils, blonde skiers...

[ Reply to This ]
Bravo &mdash 05/01/05 - 07:08:57 AM
I'm 1/4 Swedish, but Liv is bit too old for me. Very well
done here. Lyrics are hilarious and performance is top-
notch. Only quibble is I could use a bit more oomph on
the low end.

Great British Accents! &mdash 05/26/05 - 09:16:14 AM
Before I forget, I want to mention that all your artwork is
great. And this is my favourite (so far). I love Ingmar!

This song is a great laugh. As you've alreadly had lots of
compliments, I won't bother!!! :Op One thing I noticed
was that Mommy and WannabeSwedish both have exactly
the same voices!! Get in touch with your feminine side,
dude!!! What a laugh!

Verrrryie Goud!!! &mdash 06/08/05 - 10:13:41 PM
Extremely Entertaining along with great quality music! You have an extremely verstitile and great sounding voice! Your musical melodies are very good and your productions are fantastic! Can't wait for more!

WTF? &mdash 07/07/05 - 11:00:29 PM
This song is hilarious. Very fun. I particularrly like the IKEA
bit. Very well produced on a more serious note. I can tell you
had a great time making this. It shows.

Have to change.. &mdash 07/26/05 - 07:52:40 AM
my pants from laughing. Seriously, not just funny, but well
written and produced. Definitely agree with
Magritte...something so unique only a few could actually pull
it off successfully; and you did!

Hilarious indeed &mdash 08/11/05 - 06:15:11 PM
That kind of humour reminded me of a Monthy Python
episode on Italian Movie Directors of the 50's 60's.

I like the sound &mdash 08/30/05 - 10:53:15 AM
It's a pop song but it has the elements i love. Rhythm and a
good guitar sound. I like it very much.

It's a novelty song but it's not funny

This is great!

[ Reply to This ]
you need .. &mdash 03/09/07 - 03:44:16 PM

.. a volvo (or a saab), 2 kids (1 boy 1 girl), a dog, a summer cabin in the woods to really be livin' the
Swedish dream Spike ... and of course be born on skis helps alot too, I can report.

Great stuff, tickled me anyways. Not bad accents at all .. thankfully being Scottish there is little room for
jokes about that .. ;o)

whew &mdash 06/10/07 - 07:26:07 PM
had the radio playing in the background and then I had to bring Mj to the foreground to see who this was. You are a man of many talents. I'd like to think your personality peeks through with some of your writing.

no actual session on my own music lodge but some key friends have signed on. just got to do it. thanks for doing what you do

Fun! &mdash 04/11/08 - 06:05:45 AM
Funny song my friend. Your guitar work here is great. For me it's "Rock & Roll" than "Pop"! Enjoyed the work here very much.... Thanks for sharing... Good Job!

Take Care
