I’m with you on this one. I didn’t care for the original and was initially disappointed that this was Tommy’s cover this week. But then I listened to it. I love it!
Tommy is surrounded by female fans who want to win his favor. He is very modest and tries to understand the logic of these ladies. That's why he chose this song.😂😂😂😜😜😜
Sooo much better than the original. OSN you are spot on about radio in that era. They played songs until they had died a hundred times (and so had you) and still kept playing them. Loved your reaction. Team Tommy all the way.
Your reactions are hilarious and allways on top, OldSkuleNerd (btw 'skule' in danish is to stare at someone or something with a look of displeasure or anger )
Ooh my good?!! I'm a swedish girl and I never understood the lyrics??!! I thought she wanted another love?? Like baby...that's what you call your lover.....Wow how I've missunderstood the lyrics?!!😮😂❤
I did hear that the original singer (can't remember her name) didn't particularily like the story of the song either... which is why she sings in third person as she refused to identify with the main character.
O my god .. your in for a bumpy ride ahead. with Tommy’s “ will it metal” concept you’re bound to get a lot of stuff you happily would never listen to again showed up your face in a package you can’t refuse 🤣 .. and I’m here for every second of it 😱😂
🫣 o no just realized ..if I got it correctly on what’s next ….. well then you will have a Eurovision song to dig into 🥳😂 Edit ( and he might even try to screw with your schedule if he succeeds to post a bonus cover out tomorrow at 12 CET)
I fully agree with you. I hated this song so much. At the time, it was played everywhere on radio and TV, especially MTV. I never, not even in my wildest dreams, imagined that this song could be fixed and I would love it. Your reaction made me laugh out loud again. I literally cried with laughter. 😂😂😂😂
Take away his amazing music skills and Tommy is quite similar to me: A metalhead that also likes the pop of the previous decades. Again, Tommy metalizes a good radio hit and makes it tons better! Your reaction was hilarious as well! Rock on! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
Amen osn Tommy took a song that the radio basically played the snot out of that geez I hated it 3 weeks after it came out but who knew that his version turned it on it’s head and definitely his own awesome reaction as always 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
C etait un titre qui était à son époque qui évoque beaucoup à beaucoup de monde et une reprise de ce genre doit etre un hommage comme tout les titres et reprises qu'il fait .n'oubliez pas qu'il y as eu avant votre monde ,tout un autre monde ,et on n'est pas encore tous mort! Tout s'ecoute et tout s'arrange quelque soit les styles ! 🤘Un enfant des annees 80,!💪👍

This is the second time he does it. Have you missed the first from Swedish hitz goes metal? I just had to listen to that as well today just to compare. This arrangement is so much better. But I hate the original song and now I get it in my head again. Damn Tommy. Btw he did The Sign as well then.
The question is not if Tommy can fix it but rather how he WILL fix it, a bit like the James Bond movies. We know James will fix it/survive, only a matter of how.
Some of their songs i could like, but this song… just cant stans it. Tommy did a great job with this cover, it was so much better. But those lyrics…I wish he could do this as a Majesticaton (like Disneyton) 😉lol
I thought Tommy would choose something from Roxette. But this song?🤔 Well, it's not a bad song, but Roxette would have been better.😁 At least Tommy sang it better than the original. Tommy's version is awesome. 😊🤘
I hate that song too😅, but it’s a bit like this guy on UA-cam that brings various fastfood items to this chef and asks him to pimp them. Thats like Tommy.
Томми любит ставить перед собой трудные задачи💪🎸! И он отлично справляется! Соло великолепны,богатый,интересный вокал,молчу уже о гитаре! Ты снова победитель, Томми! Смеялась вместе с тобой,ОSN,но с тех пор,как я узнала о Томми,я обожаю все шведское,и даже эту песню🤩🤩🤩!!!🎸❤️💪
Oldskule...maybe consider that the song isnt about a woman and welfare. Its about a free soul woman who just wakes up, goes to the beach to escape life and wants a new boyfriend for the day because the chase is half the fun. But she never stays. Love what you said about Tommy singing a phone book!
That's pretty much the plot of 90% of all German Volksmusik songs (not to be confused with "folk" or even "Schlager". Folk is cool, Schlager is stupid but good party music, but Volksmusik is boomer music. The literal boomers.) sung by men: "Oh, I'm such a wandering, free soul, and there's this wonderful girl, oh, such fiery love, such passion, such night, but alas, now I gotta move on with my journey, bye!" and that is NOT flattering at all for this song 🤣
I appreciate your reply! Not sure what was happening in Germany but in the US around the 80s and 90s there were plenty, and I mean plenty of songs of male singers singing about their conquests or hopes of conquests. I think most of us can relate to wanting an escape from the normal routines of life, especially as we get older. We just don't know why she doesn't stay but I feel pretty confident this song isn't about a woman wanting another child for welfare. It's fun that we get to speculate for ourselves. I do however, hugely appreciate that we have artists like Tommy J and Erik Gronwell that want to put out songs from this wonderful time period that was special for music.
Sounds like I found the one person who dislikes the original song even more than I do, ha! I don't have a negative history/association, fortunately, but man, did the original song go on my nerves back then (and still does)! Can't stand the lyrics, the melody, the instrumental choices, and how it's performed. And as said, it was damn everywhere back then! The radio, in stores, supermarkets, on MTV, on VIVA, in TV shows...and if you were unlucky, you had friends who liked it. Tommy's version is actually fun to listen to, which can definitely be credited to his choice of voice performance (I consider Ace of Bace as solid musicians but I had no use for their hollow, dull voice performance choices, it was grating to me). As for the instruments and melody, Tommy's version is awesome, especially the large segments that barely sound like the original anymore at all. Which is probably why I really enjoy his take, except for the passages that are still rather close to the original 😄
0:54 I'd say Ace of Base has a lot of good songs, but also a ridiculous amount of picky listeners, ready to shit on anything they don't like with all their passion. Not pointing any fingers tho'.
You could never in your wildest imagination think that there would be a Sabaton solo in an Ace of Base song
This is true bromance. Love your reaction from Sweden ❤
Today I learned that a song can be fixed no matter how bad it is, you just need a genius behind it to fix it, TOMMY JOHANSSON 😁💎👏💯🎸🔥🤘
He most definitely fixed it 😂🤘🔥
I’m with you on this one. I didn’t care for the original and was initially disappointed that this was Tommy’s cover this week. But then I listened to it. I love it!
Tommy did it again! 🥳
Thanks for another Tommy reaction.
I'm glad he is redoing his stuff from swedish hitz goes metal albums. Need does your mother know to be redone
Спасибо вам за столь быструю реакцию на новую песню Томми! Определённо, она получилась совершенно необыкновенная, куда лучше оригинала.
Fuck yes he did, who knew it was actually a good song.
Tommy is surrounded by female fans who want to win his favor. He is very modest and tries to understand the logic of these ladies. That's why he chose this song.😂😂😂😜😜😜
I didn't like this song at all...now I love Tommy's cover, OF COURSE I DO! Thanks for your reactions, I always enjoy with you
Oh, I forgot - Tommy, you rocks - again!
Sooo much better than the original. OSN you are spot on about radio in that era. They played songs until they had died a hundred times (and so had you) and still kept playing them. Loved your reaction. Team Tommy all the way.
I hear ya! Love Tommy but almost didn't listen to this one .... but he literally rocked it
Tommy is very special, amazing and unique!❤️🙏
Thanks! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
ROGER!!!
Your reactions are hilarious and allways on top, OldSkuleNerd (btw 'skule' in danish is to stare at someone or something with a look of displeasure or anger )
Your reaction was so great. I laught so well . Super ❤😂
That sax in the original is said ta have annoyed Max Martin when Denniz recorded it.
You do the best reactions❤
I agree, this AOB song is not my cup of tea. But I really like the Happy nation song.
Ooh my good?!! I'm a swedish girl and I never understood the lyrics??!! I thought she wanted another love?? Like baby...that's what you call your lover.....Wow how I've missunderstood the lyrics?!!😮😂❤

Love your reaction, I had the same….. this is good ❤️
I did hear that the original singer (can't remember her name) didn't particularily like the story of the song either... which is why she sings in third person as she refused to identify with the main character.

I laughed so much for your reaction!😂😂😂

Btw he did The Sign as well then.
I don’t like the lyrics of the song either 😝, but I love to hear Tommy sing.
Maybe Tommy got a little hint from Chelsea about this song......... 🤔😜
So funny 😄
The question is not if Tommy can fix it but rather how he WILL fix it, a bit like the James Bond movies. We know James will fix it/survive, only a matter of how.
How many guitarrs does he have?!? 😮
Totally agree. I'm a swedish woman, born -67 and Ase of base is not my kind of music at all, never was. I hope Tommy can change that.
Hahaha, also hate that he made me like this shit song.
Some of their songs i could like, but this song… just cant stans it. Tommy did a great job with this cover, it was so much better. But those lyrics…I wish he could do this as a Majesticaton (like Disneyton) 😉lol

He sang The Look with Måns Z on Allsång på Skansen. He has it on his channel.
Oh dear..Tommy...Ace of Base?? I don't...know🙈
I hate that song too😅, but it’s a bit like this guy on UA-cam that brings various fastfood items to this chef and asks him to pimp them. Thats like Tommy.

What can't Tommy change your mind about - musicwise?
He could never change my mind about Baby Shark
