July 16, 201411 yr Babes I've always been VERY OPEN about my love for them and my PERFECTLY SOUND REASONING for that love 50s rock'n'roll pastiche isn't really a genre that you'd expect to be competitive in a Eurovision selection, but don't be fooled: in Sweden this kind of shit can be lethal, as those who've been on the Melodibus for a few years can all testify. The body count resulting from this genre includes some of the finest songs this contest has gifted us in recent years, so let's be on our toes ladies. Let us take a moment to mourn:Stormande hav (taken from us in andra chansen 2012 all too soon) (slain by Brolle in heat 2 2011) (which never really had a chance of going direkt from heat 3 that year in any case and was probably lucky even to make it to andra chansen, but correct my gay revisionism AT YOUR PERIL)That said, despite them typically robbing tracks I much prefer from having spots in the final, I'm actually normally quite partial to the rockabilly entries (and resigned to being the only one. Well, the only one who'll openly admit it.). Why? Past the grimly inevitable mugging, the overwhelmingly heteronormative and faintly sexist lyrics, and the deeply obnoxious performances, what you normally tend to get are songs that are for all intents and purposes schlager tracks dressed up in rock'n'roll instrumentation. Take , a track essentially just a rearrangement away from being an ABBA classic (if as a schlager fan you can look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't mince yourself silly over that chorus if it was synthed up with Jenny Silver on vocal duties, you're either lying to yourself or you're a fool. That chord progression, those harmonies!). Or (which repeated the same trick, except with the chord progression from Written In The Stars). The clinching giveaway's typically the schlager veteran on the songwriting credits - step forward Kempe for The King, and 's Susie Païvärinta on Baby Doll.
