Avicii - Hey Brother 2013

"Hey Brother" is a dance song by Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii from his debut studio album, True (2013). American bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski provides vocals for the track. Tyminski did the vocals for "A Man of Constant Sorrow" (poll #26) from the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

"Hey Brother" was written by Avicii, Ash Pournouri, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare and Veronica Maggio. The song, which serves as the album's third single, was solicited to Australian radio on 9 October 2013 and later released on 28 October 2013 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. In March 2014, a version of the track remixed by Avicii himself was released on his remix album True (Avicii by Avicii), this time featuring new vocals from singer Salem Al Fakir.

In the UK, after climbing for several weeks, "Hey Brother" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart on 15 December 2013. In addition, "Hey Brother" peaked at the top of the UK Dance Chart. Including previous releases "I Could Be the One", "Wake Me Up" and "You Make Me", Avicii therefore reached the summit of the UK Dance Chart four times in 2013 alone.

In the US, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 77 in December 2013, and rose to number 16 in March 2014. After Clear Channel personnel noticed the song's success at pop and adult pop radio, they asked Island Def Jam to craft a remix that showcases the song's instruments more prominently. Support for this remix enabled "Hey Brother" to debut, and peak, at number 59 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart in March 2014. The song would become Avicii's final song to hit the top 40 before his death in 2018.

"Hey Brother" received a total of 67% yes votes!

I really fucking love the Swedish expression "intelligensbefriad" = "freed from intelligence"

Like, you've left that intelligence behind, you're free to be an idiot now

One Swedish expression that I enjoy is "käpprätt åt helvete", meaning straight as a kane to hell. Not only did the thing go bad, it went as bad as it could in the least amount of time, there was not even a grain of success made. It went to jail without passing "go".

Okay guys, I know we all love arson, but this year, we're not burning Gävlebocken.

Why?

Well, this year was a pretty shitty harvest in Sweden, and it turns out that the kernels are still in the hay Gävlebocken is made out of.

How do we know this?

Birds are eating them

Gävlebocken is a giant birdfeeder, and I think that we should let it be eaten by birds* instead of burning it down this year

Source (it's in Swedish, but I'm Swedish and read it just fine)

*yes, the birds eating it isn't actually a threat to Gävlebocken but let's be real it's very funny

A Swedish gårdstomte I drew yesterday. Trying to connect to the style of the late 1800 when artists like Jenny Nyström, Carl Larsson and John Bauer shaped the collective image of our fairytales and myths.

I was inspired to do this when I found two 120 year old original pen and ink fairytale illustrations at the secondhand the other day. A real find! And I even managed to find what books they originally were published in. More about that some other day.

Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling 1973

"Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1968 pop song, written by Mark James and originally performed by B.J. Thomas. Thomas's version featured the sound of the electric sitar (played by Reggie Young) and reached No. 5 in 1969 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1973, the Swedish poprock group Blue Swede did a cover version, which included the ooga chaka introduction from a 1971 cover by Jonathan King. King had heard Johnny Preston's "Running Bear", which was the inspiration for the ooga chaka chant. This version reached number one in the US in 1974.

In 1992, Blue Swede's recording was featured on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's debut feature Reservoir Dogs.

In the mid-90's, the Dancing Baby "sk_baby.max" model became one of the first viral memes. The animation was also shown on several episodes of the 1998 legal comedy-drama series Ally McBeal as a recurring hallucination, suggesting a metaphor for the ticking of Ally's biological clock, and was accompanied by Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling". Various commercial advertisements presented the Dancing Baby animation to international markets continuing the mainstream media attention. This particular manifestation of the video, bound to the song, is widely distributed and referred to as the "Ooga Chaka Baby", further cementing the scene in pop culture history.

The 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy, which featured the brass fanfare and title lyrics of the Blue Swede cover version prominently in its trailers and theatrical release, resulted in a significant spike in sales for the recording; the film's soundtrack reached the top of the Billboard 200 chart in August 2014. The song was also featured in the teaser trailer for the 2017 sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.

Blue Swede's frontman is singer/actor Björn Skifs. He did the Swedish dub of Woody in the first two Toy Story movies, as well as singing in stead of Phil Collins in the Swedish dub of Brother Bear.

SVERIGEVÄNNER

Eller ja, ni svenskar som har en relation till Eurovision.

Här är dina stolpar för vad du ska skriva i ditt mejl:

Namn, ålder och ort

Ditt ärende (be SVT sätta tryck på EBU att stänga av Israel från Eurovision 2024)

Hänvisa till NGOs som Amnesty, Läkare Utan Gränser, etc., och deras uttalande om den humanitära katastrofen som just nu utspelar sig i Gaza (du kan länka till SVTs egna artiklar om detta)

Påtala tävlingens syfte (att främja fred och internationell gemenskap)

Påtala hur tävlingens trovärdighet och Sveriges värdskap kommer komma att ifrågasättas om Israel deltar

Påtala Sveriges ansvar som värdland och vår makt inom Eurovisionsammanhang

Påtala att Ryssland uteslöts just för att TV-bolagen utmanade EBUs beslut och fortfarande är uteslutna

Skriv något om din relation till tävlingen (hur länge du kollat, eventuella ritualer och traditioner, något kort bara)

Var tydlig i att du kommer delta i en bojkott mot Eurovision om EBU tillåter Israel att delta (det är också okej att vara tydlig med att du kommer vara ledsen över om så sker)

Var artig och vänlig men tydlig och bestämd

Undvik radikal politik - målet är inte att övertyga någon tjomme på SVT om att imperialism och nationalism är fel, målet är att övertyga dem om att det är en JÄTTEDÅLIG idé att låta Israel tävla och att vi är många som bryr oss om detta.

Här är mejladressen för kontakt med SVT: [email protected]

Här är en länk till EBUs uttalande om avstängningen av Ryssland 2022: https://web.archive.org/web/20220313071630/https://eurovision.tv/mediacentre/release/ebu-statement-russia-2022
