Lasse Holm & Monica Törnell

In 1986, Sweden's most prolific Eurovision composer Lasse Holm joined forces with very-serious-and-too-good-for-Melodifestivalen singer Monica Törnell and surprised both the swedish audience and the rest of Europe when they dropped any inhibitions to perform a happy-go-lucky song with a video where they threw paint at each other, and a stage show where we got to see Lasse climb on top of a grand piano, backup singers dressed like a wrestler, a maid and a gentleman, topped off with a shirtless head of delegation playing the electric guitar. Lasse has of course had several more songs in the Eurovision and too many to count in Melodifestivalen as a composer, but did you know that both of them have made further attempts to reach the contest? We get to hear those songs!Legends: Lasse Holm & Monica TörnellSongs: E' de' det här du kallar kärlek (Sweden 1986)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: emil@schlagervannerna.seInstagram Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
