song: Martha My Dear
language: Swedish
performer: The Hep Stars
A fascinating (in the anthropological sense) glimpse into Swedish popular culture circa 1969. The Hep Stars are husband and wife pop duo Svenne & Lotta (she is originally from the US), who were popular in the 70s and are still performing. Here they are with Benny Andersson from ABBA on the piano, doing a cutesy rom-com number to the tune of Martha My Dear: "Lotta My Friend". Pretty shameless though, how they rip off Mitch & Mickey at the end.
