This song is a classic, the album is a classic and Lill is a first class artist. And she's got humour. In ESC 1985 she was the host and shocked the whole of Europe by dropping her skirt just to turn her top into a dress. I remember the feeling when I saw her panic and heard the confused laughter from the audience and the relief when I understood it was just a joke. I don't know if it's true, but I heard that after that ESC changed the rules, so you no longer are allowed to come with any surprises that wasn't a part of the rehearsal.
I would simply translate "En sån karl" to "What a man", same meaning and used the same way. Lill is one of those artists that are loved by anyone in Sweden, even those born long after her prime. She also dabbled in comedy and you can hear when she is talking that she is really quick and funny. And not afraid of making a fool out of herself. :) And she has got a ton of classics. "Du är den ende", "En man i byrån" and "Musik ska byggas utav glädje" might be the biggest ones. And "Sommaren i city". That's a true "sommarplåga", a summer pain. And there is a reason they are called that.. The type of music that works when it's hot outside and you have turned the brain off for the summer holiday.

Lill Lindfors is a national treasure! If you ever is in the mood watching old Eurovision Song Contests, you should check out 1985 when she was hosting the whole event, she did something that was really shocking at the time, that I don´t think had been done on live television, at least not in a huge internation event like that, I'm not going to spoil what it was. She is super charming she is out on tour in Sweden this fall, and it´s sold out everywhere. If you want to react to more Lill Lindfors, I recommend "Du är den ende", "Jag tycker inte om dig", "Musik ska byggas utav glädje", "Nygammal vals", "Hör min samba" och "En man i byrån", just to name a few. Pronunciation tip, the letter l in the world "karl" is silent, so you say "En sån kar", while in the _name_ Karl the letter r is silent, so you say "kal". Btw, Lill's hair in the background almost made it look that you decided to do this reaction in a huge wig!
That the "r" in the name Karl is silent isn't really true. In some dialects the r almost completely disapears in some words, and that might be what you are thinking of here. But there is pretty much always at least a remnant of the R left, so Kal and Karl would not be pronounced the same.
@@rickardelimaa You mean you would hear no difference at all if someone said Kal or Karl? Not sure I buy that, although I have to admit I don't know how your r's are in Nyköping. :) In the rest of Sweden you would hear a difference, even if the r is extremely weak sometimes, just a little bend in the tongue between the A and L. EDIT: I doubt that Jonathan would hear the difference with those weaker R's though, I think you would have to be born and raised in Sweden or otherwise extremely gifted in language. :) I'm totally with you that the L is silent in the word karl though. Kar and karl sounds exactly the same. Except that one is "en karl" and the other is "ett kar". Oh, I'm glad I'm not learning swedish as a second language. :)
@@jonashansson2320 My middle name is Karl. :) I know what you're getting at, where the tongue is more rounded (compare: "kall" vs "kal"), but now when I'm sounding it out, I have the same shape on my tongue no matter if it's my middle name or my bald spot I'm talking about. :P
The first song taught myself to play on my guitar was Du är den ende. However I think her Swedish version of Jaques Brel's Ne me quitte pas is also very good, and far, far better than the icky oversweet made by Terry Jacks.
The orignal song is performed by Jackie Lee (Just like a man) 1967. So this is swedish translation of Just like a man which Lill Lindfors translated. The melodies in both songs are quite smilar to each other, so if you listen to one those songs you can actually hear that they almost sound the same.
En tips på en liknande artist är Sylvia Vrethammar. Min favoritlåt med henne är "Tycker om dej". Jag tror definitivt du skulle tycka det är en banger! 😎 Magnus Uggla tolkade låten i Så Mycket Bättre säsong 3 (2012).
Now, this is a real classic. This is that kind of song that people can singa phrase from without even heard the song itself. You should react to the classic Mälarö Kyrka by Lenne Broberg. :)
Älskar Lill. Denna är verkligen en klassiker. Att den går i moll gör den bättre. Den här en så bra melodi, och att hon tjatar om denna karl vi inte vet vem d e gör det bara bättre, hur ofta finns en sån här text på 2000 talet 🤣🤣🤣
Yay Sommaren i city är en väldigt tidstypisk sång och var en riktig sommarplåga och är en äkta klassiker ☺ Har du hört allt från Roxett? Jag är inte säker hur många av deras låtar som är kända i USA. Annars kan du ju testa sånger såsom "The Look" eller "Joyride"
Just de två Roxette-låtarna låg ju etta på billboard så isf är det ju bättre Jonathan lyssnar på Neverending Love, Dressed for success eller Dangerous ..som han möjligtvis kan ha missat.
Here are some more classics, these are sung in English: Hoffmaestro - Highwayman Those Dancing Days - Hitten The Ark - Prayer for the weekend I'm from Barcelona - We're from Barcelona Soundtrack of our lives - Instant repeater 99 Troll - Jimmy Dean Kalle Baah - Ugly Girls Infinite Mass - Area turns red The Cardigans - Carnival Pineforest Crunch - Cup Noodle Song Ceasars Palace - Jerk it out Mando Diao - Long before Rock n' Roll Amy Diamond - What's in it for me?

I prefer the cover of this made by Anne-lie Ryde. musically almost identical, but updated to be more rocky, but anne-lies voice brings it even higher. but thats just me, I dont know how many agrees with me.
I like the version with Annelie Ryde better .. You like good voices , so you should listen to Segla på ett moln with her. And of course you must hear Du är den ende with Lill Lindfors to..
Also, please react to this classic! It is Swedens Eurovision entry 1966. A duet by Lill Lindfors and Svante Turesson, it's a great song. ua-cam.com/video/v7nHCUIhubU/v-deo.html (Don't mind the lyrics though. I, born swede, don't understand it.)
Well, TECHNICALLY är hon inte svensk! Hon kommer från Åland så därför är hon egentligen finsk, i alla fall från början. Men hon har bott och verkat i Sverige i flera decennier och svenska folket har tagit henne till sitt hjärta så ingen tänker på henne som finska (och det saknar förstås betydelse). I musiken är det förresten både blås och sångkör, inte bara blås.
Absolutly not christmas bells! You are too young to know! The christmas Bells are simulating(?) the bells you put on a horse in darkness to hear when you can't see it coming. Think of a horse and how it mowes! I heard a new, I supose, christmas song some years ago whith a badly limping horse! That was terrible to listen to!!
Jag gråter glädjetårar varje gång jag hör den.(fick den som special på brölloppsnatten) ..detta är den Svenske mannen..inte aftonbladets knullmördare. vi finns o vi bygger landet

"Jag tycker inte om dig (sympati)" är Lills bästa.

You cannot not love Lill! She has a talented voice, she has presence, humor, attitude and kindness all in one person.

"Du är den ende" sången är hennes bästa låt.

However I think her Swedish version of Jaques Brel's Ne me quitte pas is also very good, and far, far better than the icky oversweet made by Terry Jacks.
Har du aldrig hört "Musik ska byggas utav glädje"? Den har hon dessutom skrivit själv.

You must listen to the title track "Du är den ende"!
I want a reaction to Svenne Rubins - Långa bollar på Bengt! :D
Titanic with Mikael Wiehe.
En tips på en liknande artist är Sylvia Vrethammar. Min favoritlåt med henne är "Tycker om dej". Jag tror definitivt du skulle tycka det är en banger! 😎
Magnus Uggla tolkade låten i Så Mycket Bättre säsong 3 (2012).
Check out "Sånt är livet" med Anita Lindblom 😀
A better translation, considering what the song is about, would be "What a man", "Such a man" or "Quite a man"
btw. the l in "karl" is silent.
This whole album is so amazing. A true classic.
Yess, I love this one! "Älskade ängel" with Lill-babs put me in the same giddy mood as this one, I so recommend you reacting to it!
Now, this is a real classic. This is that kind of song that people can singa phrase from without even heard the song itself.
You should react to the classic Mälarö Kyrka by Lenne Broberg. :)
Den är fantastisk :)
You really have to do ”du är den ende” as well!
One of the best songs ever made. How can this not be a banger?
You shouldn’t really wish for Christmas, because the whole song is an attribution to one man, but every man will LOVE the text.
Lyssna på Lill Lindfors, Du är den ende. Det är också en fin klassiker!
As usual om a reaction day, I listen to it in the morning and then I have that specific song in my head all day ... 😆
True classic this one!
Jan Malmsjö - Vår Bästa Tid Är Nu
Ainbusk Singers - Jag Mötte Lassie
Lasse Berghagen - Stockholm I Mitt Hjärta
Lasse Tennander - Rötter
Tack för trevliga stunder på "tuben" ! Vore kul med en reaktion på Teddybears "Cobrastyle".
I just listened to the original song by Margaret Whiting and there were in fact background singers instead of the trumpet.
A love/hate song and a swedish classic is Bosson - One in a million 😁
Lyssna gärna på ”en man i byrån” med Lill Lindfors. Den är kul!
Please react to Växeln hallå - Janne Lucas!
Or maybe a video about which songs are on your list?
Agnes Carlsson also did a great cover of this in the program Så mycket bättre 2013, check it out.
Du borde reagera till "If I used to love you" med Daniel Lemma, en riktig soulklassiker 🎵🎷🎵🎷🎵🎷
Älskar Lill. Denna är verkligen en klassiker. Att den går i moll gör den bättre. Den här en så bra melodi, och att hon tjatar om denna karl vi inte vet vem d e gör det bara bättre, hur ofta finns en sån här text på 2000 talet 🤣🤣🤣
She's currently on tour. 🤗
Du måste reagera på "Dum Dam Dum" eller "Give it up" med Melodie MC.

@@bbeightynine Haha väldigt sant. Jag var lite stressad när jag skrev så jag tänkte nog inte riktigt rätt där 🤣
Bra att du påpekade det 👍
Sleeping in my car tycker jag! Har för mig att det faktiskt är deras enda 1:a i Sverige, och den kom efter att storhetstiden i USA var över.
@@fartreta Ärligt talat så tycker jag inte den är i samma klass som de redan nämnda.
I doubt those are Christmas bells...more like a tambourine.
You're a comedian, steg a comedienne :) check out her version of Nationalstatens "En dag på sjön" (så mycket bättre) . Delicioso!

You do not pronounce the ”L” in karl
Just to make things complicated you do pronounce the L in the name Karl (can also be spelled Carl).
@@Jiiimbooh yes.
Flickan och kråkan, med Mikael Wiehe, kanske kan vara något att "react to"? 🙂

There's a more powerful version of this song by Lill. This is a bit slowed and not so powerful.

Such a Man.
Men En man i byrån är en vän går med Lindfors:)
