“The singer with Behrang is RUINING this song!”

My forty years on this Earth can broadly be split into two eras: my bleak, colourless existence before I heard the key change in ‘Det rår vi inte för’ and the vibrant carnival of joy after.
This is another instance where I feel like I’m very much in the minority on Moopy. I fucking LOVE this whereas general consensus seems to be slightly more... muted. True, Behrang Miri and Bohring Vic are the least credible pop duo in history and have the bearing of a couple of biology teachers doing Wham Rap for Children in Need, but for me they made absolute MAGIC here.
Behrang’s rap-like verses with the operatic accompaniment are fun and already set Det rår vi inte för apart from standard Melodifestivalen fare, but it’s the choruses where this truly comes alive. Who’d have thought VICTOR CRONE was capable of delivering actual drama?
The chorus is a STUNNER, soaring, uplifting and anthemic – basically all of the food groups. I actually like it more on the second verse when it comes out of nowhere to slap you right across the tits. Then there’s THAT key change, very possibly my favourite on this entire list. Say what you want about dour old Vic, he absolutely SMASHES it. I’ll happily forgive him for all of his later trespasses for granting me that one moment of absolute gold; it literally bumped Det rår vi inte för a good few places up this ranking on its own, it’s that good. The heartbeat, the drums, then THAT
Behrang and Vic have notched up a few individual appearances at Melodifestivalen between them but it’s with this that they shared their finest hour. A brilliant song which won’t get me any likes or reacts when I post this because nobody but me gives a shit.
