So what the actual FUCK has won? There are some BIG songs yet to appear in the rate - have I gone with one of them or have I just gone 'lol rockin the ride was quite good let's go with that'?
I've checked the tarot cards and there's simply no other choice than SIGRID BERNSON - PATRICK SWAYZE.So what the actual FUCK has won?
WITH ALL MY LURVIN TUNIIIIGHTI've checked the tarot cards and there's simply no other choice than SIGRID BERNSON - PATRICK SWAYZE.
This is what I mean - there are so many different elements to itI stand with you. I mean, it wouldn’t be in my top 50, but I get it.
The post chorus has the makings of a really great separate song of its own

It would be even now. Maybe in 2046 when Charlotte is #StillYoung years old it would have got the respect it deserves.It was too ahead of its time

Sean den förste Banan
HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA
Look, I know you’re very upset with me right now and I appreciate how cruel it was for me to tag the people who are likely to be the most enraged about this, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to insist.
You see, I love ‘Sean den förste Banan’. I love it to the point that it’s legitimately one of my favourite songs of all time. I love it so much that I started this rate fully prepared to crown it the winner; I’m still in shock that another song turned my head to the point that THIS had to settle for silver.
Every single aspect of this feels like it was engineered to appeal specifically to me. It’s a Europop song with an incredible, disgustingly catchy chorus. It’s a comedy song about an Iranian immigrant who wants to be king of Sweden. It boasts my favourite Melodifestivalen performance of all time. It slags off Carola. If you took all of my wants, hopes and ambitions and shaped them into a three minute bop, it would sound like this.
‘Sean den förste Banan’ is designed to clamp itself to your brain after one listen and never release its grip, a function it accomplishes flawlessly. Like it or not, the ‘Diggi Diggi Diggi’ chorus is an absolute masterstroke; even if you hate this song and haven’t listened to it in bare time fam, I bet you still remember EXACTLY how it goes. Musically and lyrically, ‘Sean den förste Banan’ is packed to the rafters with little moments and details, from the line where he introduces himself as being from a country made of beards and sand, to the sort-of-middle-8 where he announces that meatballs and Ikea (but NOT Carola) are fucking good, to that genuinely fucking brilliant spoken word challenge to the actual reigning monarch. This is why I love it so much, it’s just so FULL. I don’t think a single idea was left in the editing room; Sean fires moment after moment at us for three minutes and, for me at least, every one of them lands
As I mentioned before, I truly ADORE the performance – it was one of the first Melodifestivalen songs I ever took notice of and I don’t think it’s been bettered since. Sean has BAGS of charisma and delivers this with matchless enthusiasm. He’s a born performer. The choreography during the chorus is fun and ridiculously slick, but again it’s the level of DETAIL which properly sells ‘Sean den förste Banan’. Every lyric seems to have a corresponding visual, every second commands attention – this is a three-act play in a three-minute song, evolving and building in a genuine effort to steal the entire show despite being the first song of the first heat. Whether in studio or live form, everything from 2:19 in the video is – hands down – my favourite thing ever to have happened at Mello. It’s JUST. SO. GOOD. The spoken word threat to Carl Gustav is delivered with such manic energy it feels massive, like a winner’s reprise (especially juxtaposed with the cut to the audience looking thoroughly nonplussed straight after), and he follows this by IMMEDIATELY dropping into a key change, somersaulting across the stage under a blizzard of confetti and then dances in front of his golden throne while being flanked by showgirls. It’s more akin to an interval act than a competitor in scale, a masterclass in making your moment count. You’ve got three minutes to sell the living cunt out of your product, Gunilla, THIS IS HOW YOU FUCKING DO IT.
I’m shaking and crying just describing this, to be honest. I love the very bones of it. From the comments at the time, only @Apoca and @Suomi don’t think me a raging cunt for alleging that this is the second best song ever sent to Melodifestivalen. Even so, this is my rate; there is not - nor will there ever be – any situation where ‘Sean den förste Banan’ wouldn’t achieve a podium placing.
