The girl group sound was going out of fashion due to the British Invasion style, so the guys decided to form an own beat group. Before forming The Strangeloves, the 3 guys were writing songs for other artists, girl group acts included. He produced Blondie’s first album and Marshall Crenshaw’s debut album too. Richard Gottehrer, who was part of the band formed Sire Records together with Seymour Stein. Per thinks The Strangeloves was a great band, they had several good songs, e.g. Among others, it was also covered by Bow Wow Wow in 1982. 5 is a real dynamite hit, I Want Candy from The Strangeloves from 1965. There are several live versions released of it, but the original is on the album, Loaded. Sweet Jane is a phenomenal song according to Per. The guys agree that at the age of 13 they were not matured enough for that. Sven says they were style makers and went their own way. The Velvet Underground was present in the arty New York scene during the Andy Warhol era. Sven laughs and says they had pirate radio. Per is kidding Sven and acts like he is surprised that they had radio in Växjö. Lindström didn’t have it, but he heard it on the radio. Per says Sven probably heard Walk On The Wild Side from the Transfomers album. Until Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal Lou Reed was just a name for him, but he was fascinated by that album. G says he discovered Lou Reed on his live album, Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal. It was a very strange album with very good songs. Per tells he had an album, he can’t remember which one it was, it had a black & white cover and Pale Blue Eyes was one of the songs on it. Sven asks Per if he listened to The Velvet Underground back in the days. Sweet Jane from 1970, from The Velvet Underground’s fourth album, Loaded comes next. Technology advanced and it sounded different, but Sex And Candy is still a very good song. G says there was a natural development of pop music. Sven says he likes a lot of ’90s songs and it was a phenomenal decade. The song has a psychedelic aura which Per thinks is appealing. Marcy Playground is a band from Minneapolis that was at the same record company as Roxette. Per picks Sex And Candy from Marcy Playground from the ’90s (1997), to have a modern song on the list too. Per tells the guys who wrote this song wrote another awesome hit, Nothing But A Heartache for The Flirtations in 1968. 6 million copies were sold of the single. Everyone told the songwriter it won’t work to sing ”Bop-shu-waddy” for 3 minutes, but the more people said that to him, the more convinced he was doing it that way. Sven tells ”Bop-shu-waddy” is being sung over the whole song and Per presents it by singing it two times. G has the single, he bought it in 1974 when it was released. Per thinks it’s a guilty pleasure song, a one hit wonder, but it’s damn good. Sugar Baby Love from The Rubettes is next. It stays a mystery why it wasn’t clear who played the harmonica. Per says it was Rod Stewart as Millie also told about it in an interview, but Sven says it was Pete Hogman. After playing the song, Per and Sven are discussing who played the harmonica on this one. When Millie came into sight, he found the recording of the original version of MBL and that’s what they recorded in Millie’s version. ![]() Sven adds that Blackwell bought records in New York and sold them to DJs in Jamaica after he recorded them on tape. MBL was the first hit for Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records. As penalty, John recorded three songs from Levy’s publishing catalogue for his Rock ‘n’ Roll LP. When John Lennon did Come Together, Morris Levy sued him because of using a line, ”Here come old flattop” from Chuck Berry’s You Can’t Catch Me. ![]() The original version was recorded in New York in 1956 and record company executive Morris Levy purchased it and listed himself as one of the authors of the song. Sven mentions she didn’t receive royalties for this song which he can’t understand. Per remembers he saw Millie on Swedish TV, maybe on Hylands hörna and Swedish radio also played MBL. My Boy Lollipop from Millie Small was a mono release in 1964 when Mr. The Archies – Sugar, Sugar (medley with Wilson Pickett’s version of Sugar, Sugar) Per rather chose old songs from the ’60s and ’70s.ġ. Honey from Bobby Goldsboro is also not bad, there was a Swedish version of it, Raring by Björn Ulvaeus, but it’s not on the list either. Per grabs his list and says he can’t even see that song on it. 1 on the list, but rumor has it, there is something else on the top. Sven says Sweets for My Sweet from The Searchers should have been No. In the latest episode of Gessles nio i topp, Per Gessle and Sven Lindström are talking about sweet songs.
