Marvelous, and they're singing English on top of it all. (5:04) Nice choral-ography reminiscent of the 40s broadway showgirls & (8:08) Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is fabulous.
For a long time now, at least 50 years, Swedes have had to speak fluent English to graduate high school. It makes it easy to visit Sweden. It amazes me though, that they have no trace of Swedish accent when they sing.
It's clear that this chorus doesn't use any women who are old or fat. I don't think our U.S. groups have that choice. A bit unfair. That said, they are fabulous!
The joke is that the only fat people in Sweden are American tourists. The age range of this chorus is 18-80 and they all ride bicycles....... and they have their own choreographer. And, they came to tear the place down!
Thank you Phil - I have not heard that joke, but it is true - our age range is currently 18 - 80. Last summer we celebrated Anna-Grete who turned 80: ruclips.net/video/EHZf348kqgI/видео.html. /Johanna
Stolt tidigare elev till musikläraren Karin! Tröttnar aldrig på att lyssna på denna! FY FAN va bra!!!
Great Choreography!! You have to be young to dance in this Chorus for sure.
Love the energy! Way to go Sweden!
Actually we aren't that young. Some close to their fifties in first row.

As a former Sweet Adeline, I noticed that too. My chorus had many seniors, and a few of us were heavy. Oh well.

I noticed several fat women. It might just be that there are fewer fat Swedes.
