Frankie Goes to Stockholm

Back to the Future

Sweden's Elias and the Wizzkids get all retro in sound and vision (shot in glorious VHS) on this bizarrely compelling video. Which raises the question -- if you were a mad Swedish genius who could build a time machine and go back into the past... shouldn't you come back with something a little more than this?


Wouldn't you at least want to go run around in the 70s?

Compelling? I beg to differ...

Where DO you find all these Scandihoovian gems?

I really dig the first song which is very upbeat for a stalker song!

Anon, :)

Holly, not compelling?! I hope I didn't give you an early MTV flashback. :) (Most of them come from either the Swedesplease blog or the It's a Trap Scandinavian music import newsletter.)

Ag, "stalker" makes the whole thing creepier than the lead singer's mustache!

The singer in the "Waste of Time" video bears a slight facial resemblance to Phil Lynott. And yes, I fall into the "it IS compelling" camp.
