TJEJERNAS FULA VISOR BUM 505 (-78) SWEDEN

After the unexpected domestic success for Swedish artist/songwriter Johnny Bode's "genital schlager" albums, issued 1968-73, many others tried to repeat the concept and cash in on songs describing more or less odd sexual activities by using an array of four letter words. I've already posted trials from The Moolighters singer Lasse Holm and the more disturbing attempt made by Tom Zacharias and his blues/rock band Levande Livet (for more on all those check this link - https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=+(%C3%84X%C3%85H*) . Problem was they did showel lots of dirty stuff over the listener, but lacked both the songwriting skill and sincere puerile humor of Bode's songs. He'd been in the music business since the twenties and sure knew how get through, while most imitations just came out filthy without anything to back it up. Here's the concept all over again, this time from a female perspective (eng. title "The Chick's Naughty Songs"). Most of the cuts have traditional melodies re-worked with lyrics by Malin Rask (of which I know nothing else) and Peter Himmelstrand (one of the most successful Swedish songwriters in the sixties and seventies), who also produced. Vocals by danceband singer Rosa Gröning, pop artist Gilla Rydén and Liza Öhman, who apart from having a pop singer carreer also worked with ABBA in studio and on tours. In comparison to the others this was rather cute...or as cute it could be with titles like (my translations) - "When the C*ck and C*nt Played Ball", The D*ck is great", "F*ck is a Beautiful Word", "The P*ssy and Me", "Come and Watch the Pr*ck" and "The C*ck Played the Tuba". Probably a good plan to begin with, but to my ears it didn't work out. Most of it sounding like more or less cheeky ideas that could have lead to something striking, but then not fully realized and leaving very little impact. Maybe there was someone out there who got off by hearing women singing dirty words, but then again both Lillemor Dahlquist and Lena Junoff did that a lot more convincing on the Bode albums. I admit such stuff still can make me smile if done with quality, but the work here sounds too unfinished for my taste. This was the only issue. It came with label as shown here and thin glossy cover.
