 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

| 512.1 | I know it... | SWETSC::WESTERBACK | Mimsy were the borogroves | Mon Jul 20 1992 11:43 | 8 | 
|     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...

    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!
