I know he sings in Swedish... but the language barrier didn't stop Bertrand Burgulat coming over earlier in the year...

Have you heard of Serge Gainsbourg or Sigur Ros? They're both from a country called "foreign", but quite big in their respective eras.

yes.... but do they sing in a language spoken by only 8 million people?

Icelandic is spoken by less than eight million.

How have you heard Håkan btw?

I picked up his album when I was in Sweden in the summer... His new single is a cross between Town Called Malice, Come On Eileen and Its The End Of The World As We Know It. Agree?

Plus the vid has a shameless homeage to Subterranean Homesick Blues..

Yeah something like that. It's called "Kom igen Lena"

He has stolen many things from other songs. Like direct translation of the Smiths for example.

Which Smiths lyrics has he stolen?

Some of the guitar parts from the first album are very Marr-eseque too..

Uppsnärjd i det blå / Morrissey - "Disappointed"
"En dag kommer jag och du att verkligen bli gamla. Men jag älskar dig nu."
"Young girl one day we really will be old. But the thing is I love you now."

"Atombomb" / The Smiths - William it was really nothing
"Dom har gått för att leva sina liv och Gud vet att jag måste leva mitt"
"And everybody"s got to live their lives and God knows I"ve got to live mine."

Just some examples from the Smiths. I read in some magazine that listed what they found. He has stolen a lot.
