Tom: Yesterday, you promised loud, exciting, carefree stuff. GO ON THEN.
Tim: DANSBAND.
Tom: YES.
Tim: And it’s time for us as English speakers to giggle childishly at the pronunciation of the Swedish for ‘tomorrow’.
Tom: I mean, I did smile.
Tim: Yep, figures. I can’t find the lyrics for this online, which is a shame as I’m fairly sure they mention Netflix in there quite a bit and I’d love to know the context. If I had to guess it from words I do recognise, I’m thinking it’s along the lines of “sod this, can’t be bothered right now, I’ll do it tomorrow”. And oh, boy, can we all identify with that.
Tom: What I like about dansband is how it somehow balances a line between cheesy schlager music and the sort of Status-Quo dad-rock that’s still respectable and getting radio play on radio from time to time. Listen to that ridiculous outro!
Tim: And when we combine that with the standard fun and enjoyment that typically comes with the best of the genre, what’s not to like?
