NAR: Is 'Sluta aldrig gå' the GREATEST SONG EVER?

[Penelope]

The CASE FOR THE PROSECUTION

1. "DU..."

2. The PLAINLY FUCKING SUBLIME 'do-DO-DOO-do-doo-DOO-DOO' bit in the chorus by an INDETERMINATE INSTRUMENT that Pingu is about to embarrass me in front of everyone over in three posts by pointing out it's obviously a harpsichord or something

3. The LUDICROUS FINAL SHOT of SONJA, SAVIOUR OF MANKIND

OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE WON THE ROTTERDAM EUROVISION (semi final jury vote)

Bit slow though.

Bit slow though.

DANCEABLE EVEN IN OLD AGE

 

[Madison]

No.

It’s not even as good as 50th greatest song ever (Hot Pantz’s “(I'd Like To) Give You One 4 Christmas”).

It’s no Etymon.

I do agree. Very classy, very timeless, full of hope. The performance is Christ on Earth and I feel so moved. I am praying on the floor.

The song is beautiful but Sonja's intruding old aunt persona dispels all magic.

I am praying on the floor.

She gives me severe “Swedish church fika” chills.

One must also appreciate the effort Sonja has put into the performance. Cleaning out her grandma’s closet for dress and jewelry then practicing standing still for 3 minutes. Quite fitting for a song called 'Never stop walking'.
