schlager - the appearance

step three: a schlager performer should have time characteristic and awesome clothes, and definitely do some kind of cheesy dance moves.

i don’t know if there will ever be a better contribution to show of step three than the winners of eighty-four. this was during the years of language restriction described in a previous post. (to be exact there have been different restriction periods, but the one we care about lasted from seventy-seven to ninty-nine). so, the song is in swedish which means that some of you may not understand it, but trust me, this is a school book example of the lyrics being irrelevant. nobody else understood them either. they are all about how heaven opens up and everyone smiles as these three brothers “almost float around in their golden shoes”. it should also be noted that there apparently was no need for the artists to sing on key. perhaps the judges were just wooed by the matching belts. i know i sure am.
