Grotesco was just pure satirical gold. This song even became the unofficial “anthem” of Stockholm pride for years. Most swedes probably know the lyrics as well.
Ah, finally someone that catches what the pastor does at 5:32! Almost everybody else that react to this video misses that! I remember when this skit came out, I think that some time before that some sort of disaster, I think a big eartquake or a hurricane had caused a flooding and TV-pastor Pat Robertsson had said that it was God's punishment for gays existing. So this was making fun of his and his ilk's "logic" during that time.
Apparently the rainbow community loves this song! When it came out, it was played over and over again during the Stockholm Pride Festival. Kind of like "Oh yeah, blame us for everything! Come on! We're used to it!" And it really is a catchy tune!
The text on the end screen, "Godkänd av staten" means "Aproved by the government" Check out "Grotesco - Runka Bulle" if you want another offensive song (and you're aware of what Soggy Biscuit is...) But one of their best ones is "Grotesco - The Trial" where they speak american
Please remmember is it a satire. it is hilarious as it make fun of the opposite. i love it. it do not mean that swedes is homofocbic. beutiful humor. Where it is most needed.
Unfortunately, he is/was not alone! A famous case in Sweden was pastor Åke Green, who was charged (and initially convicted, though it was overturned) with hate speech a few years before this song
The thing is that we, swedes, are SO COMFORTABLE and ACCEPTING towards HBTQIA+ (or have been atleast - the extreme right are getting stronger everywhere sadly) - so therefore we are comfortable to joke like this. This song is crazy old - Im bisexual and came out when I were 13, wich is like.. 16 years ago now (OMFG) and I think this song came out around that time. And everyone I know all over Sweden that att HBTQIA+ members LOVE THIS SONG. We have sung this one so freaking much to eachother and changes ”the faggots” to ”the lesbians” and ”the trans” and ”the drags” and so on sooooo often. So don’t feel bad, we love this one 😂😂
Glad you got shook up by this typical Swedish satire, my newfound... eeeh...? Whats the correct word this week? eeeeh, my Blackimerican new friend 💕 Thats swedish satire - as long as you dont mean no personal harm, and youre willing to get "Five across the eye" back... There's really no limits 😁 Love from Sweden 💖
People to laugh or moral issues. It is hard for the comedians that want us to enjoy our laugh times and also respect the people. But they do it and for the reason of a laugh for everybody. Even if some people can have moral issues and that is just the part of a free world. To have our say and laugh when we maybe have our hard times in life.
Of course It's all a game - if you dont wanna play, youll be left alone... But... Don't damn us for being us - if you do: Your back (or in your case, black) in the game... Love from Sweden 💖
I'm gay but I love this tune. I wish Sweden had the same mentality as they had back then. I'm more comfortable with people making gay jokes/satire then trying to keep their mouth shut to not offend me! If you want to offend me you stay quiet!
There is a few clips of Swedish "Roast på Berns" with Swedish Celebs roasting and getting roasted with English subtitles floating around on youtube, that makes your American roasts seem like Kumbaya at Kindergarten... Just saying... Love from Sweden 💖
The whole joke is how absurd it is to blame and get involved in others' sexualities. It's certainly not conservative humor... :) Cancel culture isn't as much a thing in Sweden anyway, but this is also a good 15 years old or something.
What is this translation. "att vin och sprit och saab och volvo inte ens är svenskt" is not ("Foreign markets taking over"). * It means "that wine and spirits and SAAB and Volovo Isn't even swedish"
Hi Dar The Traveler! Why don't U analyse/listen to the song "Allt Ljus På Mig" from 1998, made by the Swedish group - Bo Kaspers orkester??? U gonna Love it! Trust me & God Bless - Yohan

If you want to see some more swedish comedy I have translated a bunch of videos!
The last slide spelling 'Approved by the Governement' is the cherry on top! 🍒
(and it's true btw, it's produced by a 'public service'-channel)
Have to love the end screen aswell SVT Humor Approved by the state
Please remmember is it a satire. it is hilarious as it make fun of the opposite. i love it. it do not mean that swedes is homofocbic.
beutiful humor. Where it is most needed.
this is state sponsored humor so it is safe ;)
Next level freedom of expression in action.
Well the "ö" is it's own letter in Swedish, not pronounced like "o" really.
Jesus may or may not love everybody but his book sure doesn't . The skit is largely based on Pastor Fred Phelps who preached pretty much all hate
Unfortunately, he is/was not alone! A famous case in Sweden was pastor Åke Green, who was charged (and initially convicted, though it was overturned) with hate speech a few years before this song
While the translation has the pastor's name as "Teddy Phelps", the original is the more generic "Krister From" (meaning more or less Christian Pious)

Det är bögarnas fel.

No jesus hates me.😂😂😂
Satire at its finest
Thos is satire! Trump and his MAGAS would sing it and mean it. 🤪🤯😱
U should get this…. Its not about gay people its about religious hypocrits …. USA are full of people like this
Never, ever let the woke people take the humor away from us, it is sometimes the only comfort in difficult times.
The whole joke is how absurd it is to blame and get involved in others' sexualities. It's certainly not conservative humor... :) Cancel culture isn't as much a thing in Sweden anyway, but this is also a good 15 years old or something.
This is probably the most woke humor you'll run across this month
What is this translation.
"att vin och sprit och saab och volvo inte ens är svenskt" is not ("Foreign markets taking over").
*
It means "that wine and spirits and SAAB and Volovo Isn't even swedish"
Swedish "satire"
😉
P.s It must B the version from the album that came 1998! Not live versions or later versions or covers e t c...
