Peter Mattei impersonates Daniel Westling - the husband to be of the Swedish crown princess Victoria, the night before their wedding, singing the serenade from Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Peter Mattei has a voice of pure velvet. It is no wonder the ladies fall into a swoon with his Don Giovanni! I like his ornaments too; this practice was common in Mozart's time.
It's not so much about the lyrics that makes the audience laugh..It's the fact that he impersonates the groom Daniel Westling in a fun way, who also learned to play the mandolin back in shool.
O come to the window, beloved; O come and dispel all my sorrow! If you refuse me some solace, before you dear eyes I will die. Your lips are sweeter than honey, your heart is sweetness itself: then be not cruel, my angel, beg for one glance, my beloved!

His ornaments in the second verse are magical
Beautiful! Well played mandolin and touching sung

Killen med sammetsrösten..... helt otrolig min favo numera!!!!
Han e ju så inne-te torr och tråkig.
O come to the window, beloved;
O come and dispel all my sorrow!
If you refuse me some solace,
before you dear eyes I will die.
Your lips are sweeter than honey,
your heart is sweetness itself:
then be not cruel, my angel,
beg for one glance, my beloved!
OMG, Peter!
I used to sing with his daughter a few years back. Her voice is already amazing, and soon it will be as beautiful as her fathers!
What's the Swedish for "taking the piss"?
It's a male name, the mandolin player is called Ove Ranmo according to the text that appears around 0:58

OK, that gives the performance an extra dimension. Very great!
