The same backing track as the ABBA version, but remixed to make it less obvious, eg. the snare drum playing the fast sixteenth-note figures is buried in the mix, and some keyboards are more prominent.
Yeah, but this is such a happy and infectious song it doesn't matter who sings it. Although written by Benny, Bjorn, and Stig it was given to Sven & Carlotta first. It went big in Sweden so ABBA recorded it. Either way, one of my favorite ABBA songs.
the woman Charlotte is American fell in love with svenne and moved to sweden joined hepstars then they became a duo they have been married almost 50 years
LOL!! Benny and Bjorn from Abba actually wrote the, so is it technically theft?! Hehe. I'm Australian, and still remember when the Abba version came out here. I don't think I can actually describe to you how huge Abba actually was here - and it went right across all generations. I was only a little boy at the time, but I remember thinking years later would Swedes even have known what a boomerang was in 1975?! :)
This was first entered by this duo in the Swedish qualifiers to the Eurovision Song contest in 1975. The song was written by Björn and Benny. Benny used to be part of the group Hep Stars together with them. When it was a hit in Sweden, ABBA also recorded a version, with their greater international reach. No stealing involved :)
@@jameswalker68 and this version actually got airplay in Oz too. I remember a radio DJ back announcing BAB "Svenne and Charlotte there..." and me being somewhat confused.
@@ianbrown_777 Oh wow Ian! I wish I’d heard it on the radio back then too! I grew up in country Vic, so we only had a couple of radio stations. It might not have made it that far! 😄
Vila i frid Svenne. Tack för härlig musik, du kommer aldrig bli glömd. Vila nu💙🤍🙏😭
Rest in peace, Svenne. Thank you for the music. ❤❤❤
Rest in peace, Svenne…😢
Underbar låt! Vila i frid, Svenne! ❤
2023 November 23. I finally found the song. Thanks to google hum. I search this song all my teenage years. Now I am 34. Thank you lord❤️🙏
and to me for posting it! :) :) :)
I find it hard to belive you were a teen in late 70s
Hvil i fred kære Svenne. 🙏🏼🕯❤️
Vila i frid Svenne och tack för musiken!❤❤
rest in peace svenne prayers for lotta
RIP dear Sven.
Excellent
En oskyldig tid som aldrig någonsin kommer åter.
This sounds exactly like the opening tune to some old anime and I love it
I actually think this cover is even better than ABBA's version.. it's something about the bass register, which is much more prominent in this version.
Yes, you got
point about the bass register & Lottas voice.
La version écrite (originale si j'ai bien compris) n'est pas très
différente de la version d'ABBA.
This is the original, ABBA's version is technically a cover (Bang-A-Boomerang got written by Benny and Björn though)
Interesting description about S&L history with ABBA
yes, not so many people outside of sweden know
Hvil i Fred Svenne ❤🙏
Hvil I fred Svenne ❤❤
From Denmark regards ❤❤
And this is a perfect example of the lack of some spirit in the song.
The voices of Frida and Agnetha are magic and fire❤
❤🙏❤
Oddly this is the original 😮
👍

Lotta is American right?
Yes
Such a cute song! Their performance at Melfest 1975 was a bit out of tune otherwise this could have won
Wow looking from the outside (USA) this seems so weird. Never heard of Svenne and Lotta. This is pre-ABBA?? even though Benny and Bjorn wrote it?
No the guy was the bandleader in Benny old band and Benny was the keyboardplayer/comp

Haha someone says that ABBA was gypsy group??He or she must know better what's she's up against.
Hepstars finns kvar i musiken ! Men du får inte kalla att du är the Hepstars 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸
Svenne den epoken är slut ! Kan inte kalla dig Hepstars idag ! Kom med något eget !
one of my favorite abba-songs, bit disappointed that abba "stole" that melody these gipsys....
