This was a really bizarre moment in Swedish TV history. Dirty Loops performing a cover of song by a popular local singer who's biggest fan base probably consist of mostly middle-aged women and kids, in one of Sweden's most mainstream music events. This performance probably flew miles above the audience's heads 😁
Absolutely. Completely out of the norm for that show.
Hahaha, yes, I remember Hanna Fahl (a Swedish music journalist) completely obliterating them in an equally bizarre review of this number, where she managed to show that she knows nothing at all about real music. :D
@@lottawiklund8606 Dug up the section on Dirty Loops from that piece. See below quoted text.
For those who are unaware of the context for this performance, "Melodifestivalen" are the Swedish primaries for the Eurovision Song Contest which is a music competition in between all European countries. This song featured when voting was underway in the final for that year, with the countdown you can see in the beginning and the "Röstningen är avslutad" ("Voting has finished").
Melodifestivalen is a highly staged event, usually with dancers for all contributions and elaborate stage shows (e.g., lasers, visual art, fireworks (for harder songs, etc). All of the middle acts in some way reference other stuff that has previously featured on Melodifestivalen, so it's the ultimate display of navel-gazing in Swedish culture/media.
"OMGWTF, nu är det mellanakt där ett band som heter Dirty Loops kör vidrig funkcover av "Undo"? Hahaha detta var verkligen vedervärdigt! Vad är det som SKER på min schlagerscen, så mycket slapbas, Sverige TÅL inte så här mycket slapbas! Jag tror på fullaste allvar att det här är det sämsta jag har hört i hela mitt liv? Mållös. MÅLLÖS.
Dags för fejkade juryröster, och under tiden kan vi alla ta ett djupt andetag och försöka smälta det faktum att någon lyckades inte bara slakta utan styckmörda, gräva ned så den fick förmultna, gräva upp igen, och bygga en slapbas av resterna av "Undo". GRATTIS SVERIGE!"
@@andreasfrom582 Haha, yes, that's the one! I love how Aron shared that one and a clip from her live coverage of Melodifestivalen, on his Instagram, when announcing the release of Phoenix, with the caption:
"Älskar du vidrig, vedervärdig, bajsnödig slapbasfunk som innehåller massa ackord med siffror i? Då är Dirty Loops nya EP nått för dig!
Är det nån mer än jag som är lite sugen på och höra @hfahl tankar kring nya EP:n?"
😂😂😂
They really do not care at all if someone doesn't like their stuff, and won't change for anyone. Gotta love their musical integrity.
Wow 😬
It’s a cover of the previous year’s winning song, that DL had been asked to make a cover of since they were then mainly known for their RUclips covers. I discovered then seeing this, was thoroughly loopified and have followed them ever since! They were so obviously head and shoulders (and then some) better than all the contestants that it was laughable. Normally the competing songs are very mediocre short pop songs, and Undo certainly was one of those - until it was loopified. It was just such a completely unexpected song in a show like that (that I watched only because my children wanted to see it) and I was thoroughly intrigued and had to look them up. Btw there’s a Swedish artist called Danny Saucedo who’s also a good singer who’s competed in this show several times and it seems he’s a childhood friend of Jonah’s, he may have brought them in.
Eva, thank you so much for this comment! This gives me a great idea of how this all went down
@@StrateleStudios Listen to the original version. They changed it a bit. ruclips.net/video/5PQJI-3LW-8/видео.html
And it was Danny who came up with the name Dirty Loops.
I think this was the show that Henrik was so nervous about that he threw up before entering the stage.
I loooove your Dirty Loops journey! Please continute! 😃
Thank you! Yes I have more coming! 😃
This is when i discovered them! During this middle act show i completely dropped my jaw on to the floor! 😍😄 I had to find out more about them and - wow! Have been following them ever since! ❤️❤️❤️
Same here.
What a way to find DL. I'm sure if I had been there watching my TV my brain would have exploded! LOL
Same here!
Same here
That grin in your face those happy eyes yes this is a stunning performance in our Melodifestival. I think they set a new standard with it and just wonder if anything will ever get close.
I want to move to SWEDEN!
@@StrateleStudiosJeff, du är välkommen! 🥰
Yeah, this is from the Swedish finals leading to the Eurovision Song Contest. It's basically an audience of like 25-30 000, and is watched by like 2-3 million Swedes.
As live performances go this is pretty wild.
Should point out this was the interlude in the show while people were voting (and spending money to do so, I might add).
Dancers and lasers are Eurovision in a nutshell. It would be pretty hard to change my mind on this, but the extensive use of lasers and dancers is just to distract the audience and judges from how bad most of the songs are. Eurovision is supposed to be a song writing contest - just wanna point that out. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now.
@@straazz Amen to that. I stopped watching Melodifestivalen back when they removed the symphony orchestra and started using singback. When they had a real orchestra playing the music, at least they had proper arrangements. These days it all just sucks. And DL's cover was so far above the quality of the contestants' songs it was comical. :D
I’m loving all these comments as I as now understanding what this is all about! 😃👏👍
Melodifestivalen is a huge thing every year, and they usually invite someone to make a cover of the previous year's winner, and this is what that is. Sanna Nielsen won the year before, with the ballad Undo, and this is Dirty Loop's take on it. The show, however, is more to do with how the song was presented the year before, and probably not DL's doing at all. You are completely right when you say they don't need bells and whistles, and they don't really bother with it when they have a say either. :) Also, I think (I might have it mixed up, so don't take my word for it) that this was the show where Henrik said, in an interview after it, that he was so nervous that he threw up before they went on stage. As I said, this is a HUGE deal in Sweden, with millions of TV viewers and a really big live audience.
Thanks for the explanation. Definitely helped.
I wish I could see this in the US! I love this kind of thing! ❤️
Yes, a lot of fans don't think Dirty Loops really need anything else, no dancers to interest their fans. But, I loved it. Totally love this cover. I've had it on replay since that year they uploaded it. I'm happy you're finding their previous stuff. Can't wait to see what you react to next from them.
Mostly, this was just totally unexpected for me ( as you could see, hahaha). BUT it was so incredibly entertaining!!!
Not sure Jonah is completely comfortable dancing in front of the whole population of Sweden…😆 I bet Aron and Henrik were pretty happy being able to hide in the background.
@@evakarlsson1427 😆😆😆 u might be right
"Melodifestivalen is a big thing here in Sweden and DL was "only" something they played in the break between the main numbers. But of course they had to decorate it so it was in tune with the rest of the show.
Makes total sense. At first time through I thought it was something DL added then I realized it was production done by the show itself. :)
The stage, dancers and lighting were there for the song competition. Approx 2 million viewers in Sweden watched this. Melodifestivalen translates to melody festival and is done to pick the competing song for Sweden in Eurovision, the yearly European song contest. Eurovision gets approx 200 million viewers so it’s a big thing, 50-100 million more viewers than super bowl. And it’s all a celebration of extravaganza!
I vote this as the funniest DL reaction ever. I keep watching and laughing to your comments: "More dancers, what I'm seeing..." 😄😄😄😄
LOL!!!! Man, I had had a blast doing this one! hahahaha
This is a cover of a Sanna Nielsen song.
ruclips.net/video/N_hmzLU1_cc/видео.html
Wow! They Loopified the heck out of that tune! 😃
@@StrateleStudios Yes, Sanna's version was a (I'd say conventional) ballad, as I'm sure you've noted by now.😊 The DL version is heavenly diffrent+better (!).💖💕🎼🎶🎵🎈💥🎉🍾🥂
the “undo myself” progressions sounds familiar to “hit me” so cool!
That’s it!!!!
I'm inspired! I just hired the 1982 Dallas Cowboys cheer leaders for my classis rock cover band. Gotta go for now, we have are first dance routine rehearsal in a hour.
😂
😂
You totally stole my idea!
@@jeffsouza4213 I'm like that, or have you forgotten. Haha!
I cracked up when you said more dancers! Lol then you were like lasers 😀
LOL :)
Great reaction! A "lot" of so called reactors ask, if they can play this live, do they sound like this live etc. This is an great example. They took a crappy song and made it as always into something to rememberable. Cheers from Italy!
Ciao! Yes, they are killing it live!
Wowzers! So. If ever again I hear Jonah's voice calling to me from the darkness, followed by lasers, with Henrik & Aron doin' their thang, I'm gonna assume I've died & been granted my requested escorts to heaven, where hopefully I'll be greeted by Jacob Collier & Brian Wilson. For purposes of this dream sequence, I'm gonna assume that the dancers are being forced to dance for their lives as a last ditch effort to enter the pearly gates. 😂
Omg 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😃❤️
Probably every one else informed you, this was a intermission in the Swedish candidacy to the music competition 2015 Eurovision Song Contest (final competition is broadcasted to about 180 million viewers).
Man, I wanna watch these shows now :) :) :)
@@StrateleStudios No you don´t! This performance is one in a million in Melodifestivalen. Will propably never reach this level ever again. But my kids love the show therefore I see most of it each year anyways.
@@sonofisai 😂😂😂 if it’s REALLY bad I wanna see it…if it’s kinda bad then I pass 😂😂😂
Just to clarify previous comments. This was a “halftime show” cover of Sanna Nielsen’s song Undo. Here’s the original -> ruclips.net/video/N_hmzLU1_cc/видео.html
Man, they LOOPFIED the heck out of that tune! LOL
This is a cover of the song that Sanna Nielsen won with 2014 in ”The Swedish Melody Festivalen”. That is a huge event in Sweden gathering millions of people both in the live arena and watching it on tv. The dancers and laser is typical for the productions at this event (probably not DLs decision 😁).
Dirty Loops’ music is so far from the style of music at ”Melodifestivalen” so I really wonder what the crowd thought about their version...
Here is the original version:
ruclips.net/video/SEUd1tyNw6Q/видео.html
Wow! Great version. I don't even recognize it as the same song. Thanks for the link Petra!
@@MusicWithToddLedbetter You’re welcome! 😊
Man they Loopified the heck out of it! 👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios They sure did! 😃
@@StrateleStudios 😂 I see that you changed your name!! Or added to it 😁 Rightly so! 😃
Came back here to show my son this video - and must add that your reaction is priceless! 😄 (And I really understand why) Dancers?! More dancers?! Laser?! 🤣
Jonah’s wearing the same jacket as in Thriller.
Might mean something, might not.
Maybe his favorite jacket? 😄
Go Stratele...love your reactions!
Hahaha thank you! 😁😁😁
Just to add information that I did not see in other comments. Melodifestivalen is the way Swedish Television desides what song to send to Eurovision Song Contest. And as people said before this is the cover of an earlier winner
I'm curious, how popular did the song get by the original artist?
@@StrateleStudios As a swede I have definitely heard the original. I checked swedish wikipedia and got this information. It came 3d in Eurovision Song Contest, reached nr 1 on swedish charts, top 10 in some neighbouring countries and reached nr 40 on UK chart
I have to wonder man… How many so-called “non-believers” of the Loops were IN THAT AUDIENCE, just hearing them for the VERY FIRST time, got converted and now their lives to this day are even just a little bit more enriched haha?! Thoughts like this give me hope haha! ✨☀️🥰
I just noticed the dancers are completely choreographed into that funky little syncopation built into the rhythm line. Unappreciated detail, I’m sure, but kudos to them.
Yes! 😃
@@StrateleStudios Great. The newest DL ear worm I can’t get out of my head. 😉
Melodifestival is where we vote who's going to represent Sweden in Eurovision.
every country does the same.
Oh interesting, were they just guest or participant to the selection?
@@svetespo not part of the contest
Entertainment during the vote counting.
Y’know, listening to this a couple more times, am I hearing some Earth, Wind and Fire in there?
One of the things I love about these guys is trying to forensically find the influence for certain passages, progressions, etc.
For instance, in “Work Shit Out,” you can find an identical theme in “Finding And Believing” from Pat Metheny’s Secret Story from the 90s.
Is it coincidence? Possibly. But as much work as these guys have put into their music, I’m willing to believe it is not.
I just read today, that one of Piet Mondrians most famous artwork, have been discovered to been hanged in the wrong direction. It is not a painting really, but of course an artwork with different layers of tejp. And it has been hanging wrong for 45 years, so they do not dare to change it, because there are so many elements involved in that artwork. And to try to turn it, then gravity will kick in and probably destroy the whole work.
When it comes to Dirty Loops, I almost think the same way. They are "lucky" that they are all born in the mid 80's, and they were brought up during the digital evolution. But as far as I know, they stuck to the basics. Practice, practice and practice. Hours and hours and years after years. And now, luckily for all of us, they are composing and playing for our pleasure, and of course their own. Otherwise, why suffer, sacrifice, deliver and see what happens? It is not a parallell to Piet Mondrians composition, but from another angle it is as accessible for anybody. It has nothing to do with scills, education or experience. Or it could include them all. Dirty Loops is for everyone.
👏👏👏🫶
Even though it’s seven years ago,music is being re-invented before our eyes.
Yes!!!
Lol. I just love your facial expressions throughout watching this vid 😃.
I’m such a goofball 😂
Almost sounds like the E.T. score there for a few seconds ... :-).
"... More dancers...what am I seeing". 🤣
😂🤣😂❤️
Here is a link to a lesser known Dirty Loop live performance recorded by the Swedish national television back in 2015. You will also see Simon Petrén backing up Jonah on keyboard and vocals. Simon is sometimes called member #4 in Dirty Loops as he usually does most of the mixing and production of DLs music.

I gotta do a reaction to this one!
The guys have included a bad review from swedish press after this half time show cover number in the description to their video:
”Sweden can’t take this much slap base! I honestly think this is the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Speechless. SPEECHLESS.”
Pretty funny 😂 And obviously not all swedes feel the same way. 😉😅
Omg! 😂🤣😂 That’s hilarious!
@@StrateleStudios yupp 😆
It's a cover that they've done. I can't remember the name of the Artiste whose song this is. But, yeah, it's a cover
They Loopified it! 😃
you should react to their album loopified :D, nice reaction
From the country of ABBA ...
Here’s the original. The winner of Melodifestivalen the year before: ruclips.net/video/5PQJI-3LW-8/видео.html
Fun fact: When Dirty Loops played an online commentator for a Swedish tv station/paper (Don’t remember now) wrote like ” I don’t know what’s happening here. How did they come on the show? Weird music. Totally wrecked Sanna’s song. This is bad!”
😂
Omg! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’m from and live in Stockholm, Sweden. 🇸🇪 The country of Abba and Dirty Loops. And me? I’m good at listening - to reactors - who listen to people that can actually play.
😅👍🏼 One day I’ll be best listener Ehvurr! 💪🏼😉
@@OlleStahlberg hahaha, that is an esteemed position my friend!
You didn't pick up the ET-reference (at 3:15) ☺
Omg! Hahaha you’re right! 😂
Next suggestion to our Church : Jonah Nilsson with Richard Bona
This one? ruclips.net/video/mamIA0xqklQ/видео.html
@@StrateleStudios yes sorry ! Next , the Spectrasonic Channel it's a gem for reactions! Jonah Nilsson Spectrasonics.
Matteo Mancuso is a great guitarist, I'd love it if you do a reaction vid on him. Great vid nonetheless!
Love this guy! Yes, I plan on reacting to him!
From the Swedish melody festival, a qualifier to the Eurovision. Dirty Loops are of course so much more talented to most artists that perform in that competition.
And more talented then most of the world LOL! :)
What was that ? ABBA melted with Paula Abdul in a Dirty Loops salad
Omg 😂🤣😂
Jeff, I have a hidden Dirty Loop gem for you
@@peterkoeppl1186 do tell, do tell! 😃
@@StrateleStudios try finding Ta Fete from about 7 years ago
Please do "Sayonara Love" :-)
Great song! Yes, I plan to go back and do all the early songs still! :)
Very scary With all those digital backing tracks…one little timing mistake… eeek
:)
Another thing; these guys are so unbound and disinhibited in their playing/writing/ability, if the dancers and the lasers at an event like this *didn’t* happen… that would also be weird in and of itself haha - kinda like the dancers/lasers were merely an extension of their, uh… unbounded-ness 😂
Dirty Backstreet Boys Loops on steroids ;-)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The only good thing to ever be performed at "Melodifestivalen". It's a horrible over-promoted spectacle filled with mediocre music and artists. It's like the WNBA of musical events.
