Lost In Translation: Forbes sing ‘Beatles’
I don’t speak Swedish. Sometimes I wish I did. Now is one of those times, as I’d like to know exactly what the lyrics to Forbes’ Eurovision flop, ‘Beatles’ are. You can only assume it’s something like “The Beatles are really good. They’ve sold a lot of records. They had great facial hair toward the end of their career. Yeah yeah yeah.” Either way, this was the Swedish entry in ‘77 and mustered up a weedy deux points. Have a listen to discover why.

Beatles gave us their music
Oh, how swell “Yesterday” was
Everyone loved that melody
Yeah yeah yeah…
When records arrived we were alerted
The Gramophone was going so fast, it heated up
Everybody fell for the charm of The Beatles
Yeah yeah yeah…
A lot of people went about humming
“A Hard Day’s Night” even though they were young
Granddad’s dad can give you an answer to who they were
Beatles, Beatles
The wolrd was a huge highway
where we were all standing, row after row
Enjoying every nice ballad
Yeah yeah yeah…
Beatles gave us their music
Girls were screaming wild
We still have all the records
We’ll remember Ringo Starr
And George and Paul and John
(several verses are then repeated)
