Two weeks ago we learned about a high point of Swedish music videos. This week we’re having a look at the other end of that scale.

We do not even need to go into Hegelian dialectic to realise that sometimes when you mix two things a beautiful new synthesis may result. Unfortunately, the opposite is true as well: take the worst of two musical genres and you might just end up with a frightening chimera. I honestly tried my best to do proper research and put some kind of spin on it. But you know what? It’s simply utter trash. And that’s all it is.

Highly successful trash, to be fair though. It held number one for over 13 weeks in Switzerland’s hit-parade, for example. So if nothing else this internal education gives an answer to whether really “everything was better in the olden times”, at least when these olden times happen to be just about 30 years ago. Hell, no, it wasn’t.
