Some go to utterly ridiculous lengths.
This is mainly a pictorial answer, but I'll post links rather than the images themselves.

Here we have the first of a series of examples of how hard the Swedish tried to fit in with the rest of the Golden Age of Disco- right down to the muppet hairdos and the puffy shirts.

This is what happens when you let the professional from the smorgasbord restaurant join in with his glowing mane.

I think that even the Bee Gees would have rejected these outfits.

I suspect that they took the Osmonds just a bit too seriously.

The guy on the left here was so desperate to fit in that he adopted the girl's hair style for his mustache.

I hope that someone can translate the title of this and tell me that it's not really "Three Boys And A Girl", as that would be just a bit too frightening for words.

Hmmm. Not sure, but I think I used to see these guys at carnivals, waiting to be knocked over with baseballs.

Ummmm... no.

And finally: I've never seen an accordion look so frightened in all my life.

In conclusion: nothing personal, Sweden, but really, trying to fit into the Dance Music scene with things like this just isn't going to win you any points. Trust me on this.

EDIT: Credit (or perhaps blame) where it's due: the pics were swiped from here. And oh god, the beat goes on...

Brilliant. ^^
The 70s - a time when ugly people could be pop stars.


Of sorts.

Yo loon!
The translation is "Three blues and a yellow" or words to that effect.

The pics were truly the exemplars of the phrase "The 70's, the decade that style forgot".

Give my love to BGB.*





*Vigorously yet tenderly.

Ah. Thank you.
I was afraid that it might be something like "Three Boys and One Cup."

Just seeing those pictures brings back a flood of bad memories, of Swedish furniture and long sideburns and gold chains and polyester outfits and pornstar wannabees and smorgasbord restaurants and... well, a lot of other things that I'd rather stay forgotten.

In the words of Strong Bad- you guessed it, it give-a me the jibblies.

God!
I loved the 70's!

Every day, something or someone new to laugh at!

There will never be a decade like it again.

But did anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance... Simon Pegg/the middle barracuda

Shame!
That you can't have a click for each picky...

:-) because it's 3 blues.. didn't know that was yellow though! (thanks captain)

I also liked that everyone is a bit... "Homely"

The horror
The pics look uncannily like the showbands who toured the dancehalls of rural Ireland in the 70's.

And not in a good way.
