512.0. "Any ideas what the song could be ??" by SHAWB1::ADAMSONB (I'm nae gonna disagree..BUT..) Mon Jul 20 1992 08:45

 I'm trying to find out about a Swedish song .... I assume it's relatively
recent, from the last few years or so, but I'm not sure?!

 I heard it when I was on holiday in Cyprus ... in Ayia Napa (could have been
Stockholm because it was thriving with Swedish people!). It has obviously been
quite a bit disco hit in Sweden/Scandanavia and the only part of it I could
make out was the chorus which goes something like - 

 Somea-tles Hey Hey ... Soma-telA

 Excuse the absolutely terrible mess of expressing the Swedish, but the only
othe word I know is Hej!

 Has anybody got any idea what this song could be ... who it is by ?????

 Cheers

512.1I know it...SWETSC::WESTERBACKMimsy were the borogrovesMon Jul 20 1992 15:438
    I think I recognize it as being a song called "Sommartider" (or
    possibly "Sommartiden") meaning "Summertime", which was a big
    hit many years ago (10?).
    
    I *think* it was by the group Gyllene Tider, who was led by Per
    Gessle, now half of Roxette. Let's see if someone will correct me...

512.2How do I get hold of it ??SHAWB2::ADAMSONBI'm nae gonna disagree..BUT..Tue Jul 21 1992 12:5617
    
    Thanks Hans ....
    
    Is there any way of finding out if it is still available ..??
    Perhaps I could write to a large reocrd store in Stockholm, if someone
    gave me an address ?? Would they understand English ? Most of the
    Swedish people I have come across so far have spoken exeptional
    English!
    
    Swedish music seems to be really coming out into the world scene. I
    went to see Roxette on Saturday and they were absolutely brilliant. Are
    there any more good Swedish bands waiting to take the world by storm
    also??

    Case closed: 
    A tape containing the Swedish song heard in Cyprus 
    has been located in Norway and will be sent to Scotland.
    That's Digital networking for you!
