"This is our second Christmas show of 2025. We are giving more trivia and history for many of your favorite songs. It is quite a list."
"NOTE. This show is being posted a week early due to our Holiday travel. Enjoy two shows this week. This is our traditional end-of-year show were we give one last tip of the hat to the musicians who passed in 2025. "
Det går ett rykte på stan. Det sägs att alla balla svenska översättningar av utländska hitlåtar redan är hittade. Att jakten är över och kartans sista vita fläckar är ifyllda. Men när du lyssnar på detta sjunde FÖRSVENSKAT!-avsnitt, märker du snart att det där är rent nys. Desinformation, till och med. För det finns alltid mer. Och än mer. Som vanligt försöker Martin Alarik och DJ 50 Spänn att bräcka varandra med ohörda och oerhörda svenska versioner av musik från andra språkområden. I år är menyn extra utbroderad. Här finns göteborgsk punk, östgötsk reggae, skånsk dub, entonig samba, andlig pop, varnande protestsång, ett Gainsbourg-experiment med helt nya svenska ord och ett exotiskt körarrangemang sjunget av barn från Södertälje. Och det fiffiga är att du slipper höra sång på trista språk som engelska, franska, portugisiska och annat onödigt. Det blir ju, som bekant, goare på svenska. Välkomna in! Avsnittets försvenskningar: Peps Persson vs Jah Sparring – Peps in Dub [12″, 2025] Låt: Ronny Dub Peps Persson vs Jah Sparring – Ronny Dub Våren 2025 släpptes white label-tolvan Peps in Dub av Jah Sparring, en skånsk DJ och producent som vet hur man hanterar en ekomaskin. Och eftersom vi alltid har älskat Ronny du e rå, alltså Peps Perssons försvenskning av The Slickers klassiker Johnny Too Bad, var det självklart att dubversionen fick sig en tur under nålen. Steampacket – En värld av visioner [7″, 1967] Mikael Ramel och medarbetarna i Steampacket gör en sofistikerad svensk version av The Turtles Happy Together. Kanske är En värld av visioner till och med bättre än originalet? Outsiders – S/T [LP, 2022] Låt: Valium (I Wanna Be Sedated) Ramones på äkta göteborgska! I Wanna Be Sedated översätts givetvis till Valium och det tackar vi Thomas, Stefan, Crippa och Paul i Outsiders för. Grästrot – Marley [LP, 2015] Låt: Asfaltsdjungel (Bob Marley – Concrete Jungle) Skärblacka-bandet Gräsrot släppte 2015 ett helt album med svenska Bob Marley-tolkningar, givetvis med baktakten intakt. Vårt val föll på Asfaltsdjungel, den östgöstska transponeringen av Concrete Jungle. Pippis – När tankarna kommer [LP, 1987] Låt: Ingenting kan hända nu (Starship – Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now) Ingen försvenskningsfest utan dansband! 1987 gjorde härjedalska Pippis Ingenting kan hända nu, en härligt synthig och svulstig försvenskning av Starships Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now. Björn Afzelius – En man, en röst, en gitarr [LP, 1988] Låt: Valet (Peggy Seeger – Song of Choice) Valet är en allvarsam översättning av Peggy Seegers Song of Choice, spelad från den lite mindre vanliga Björn Afzelius-plattan En man, en röst, en gitarr som släpptes på egna bolaget Rebelle 1988. Diverse artister – Musiknätet Waxholm 10 år [2xLP, 1979] Låt: KSMB – Torbjörns horor (The Who – My Generation) KSMB:s ursinniga Torbjörns horor snor riffen och energin från The Who-klassikern My Generation och lägger en egen och ursinnig svensk text ovanpå. Ni hittar den på proggbolaget MNW:s jubileumsdubbel från 1979. Bubs – Vinden ger svar / Midnight Special [7″, 1973] Låt: Vinden ger svar (Bob Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind) Bob Dylans Blowin’ in the Wind blir Vinden ger svar på svenska, här i en oförglömlig version av Bubs, vinnarna i Södertälje Barnens Dags talangjakt 1973. Otrolig. Östen Warnerbring – S/T [LP, 1966] Låt: Yeah Yeah (Georgie Fame – Yeh Yeh) Yeah Yeah! Östen Warnerbring tar Georgie Fames Yeh Yeh och försvenskar den till en svängfest utan dess like. Ett måste i varje skivhylla. OBS! finns även på singel! Alf Robertson – Polarnas platta! [7″, 1979] Låt: Polarna, ett härligt lag (Kris Kristofferson – Me and Bobby McGee) Under Alf Robertsons wilderness years hände det att han gjorde peppiga låtöversättningar till svenska idrottsföreningar. Här förvandlas Kris Kristoffersons Me and Bobby McGee till ångermanländsk hockey-country. Jan Malmsjö – Jag söker ord / Du mitt liv [7″, 1971] Låt: Du mitt liv (George Harrison – My Sweet Lord) Det finns måhända tuffare försvenskningar av George Harrisons andliga popsång My Sweet Lord, men Jan Malmsjös Du mitt liv är förmodligen den mest dynamiska. Den går från viskning till orkan på bara en sextondels taktslag. Janne gör alltid sin grej till 100 procent. Respekt. Samuelsons – Vilken dag! [LP, 1978] Låt: Det är Jesus (Bonnie Tyler – It’s a Heartache) Bonnie Tylers världshit It’s a Heartache blir i frikyrklig svensk skrud Det är Jesus. Bröderna Samuelson kan få vilken låt som helst att handla om vår frälsare. Magnus – Brustanta (Dom bästa bitarna 2) [LP, 1977] Låt: Har vi glömt (Jimmy Cliff – You Can Get it If You Really Want) Magnus Orkester drabbades också av reggaefeber 1977. Här har de inspirerats av filmen The Harder They Come och försvenskar salig Jimmy Cliffs You Can Get it If You Really Want, som på svenska blir Har vi glömt. Carl-Henrik Norins Orkester – Carl-Henrik Bossa Novar! [7″, 1962] Låt: Liksom i min bossa nova (Antonio Carlos Jobim – One Note Samba) Sensationell försvenskning av Antonio Carlos Jobim-skapelsen One Note Samba av Carl-Henrik Norin med orkester. Årets fynd? Mira Ray – Sanndrömar [LP, 2025] Låt: Kontakt (Brigitte Bardot – Contact) Ytterligare en busfärsk och otippad försvenskning – Mira Ray sätter svensk text på Brigitte Bardots Contact, skriven av (vem annars?) Serge Gainsbourg. Kon-TAKT! Sky High – Säj nej … till kärnkraft / Säj ja … till livet [7″, 1980] Låt: Säg nej … till kärnkraft (Earl King – Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)) Earl Kings Come On (Let the Good Times Roll) plockades upp av Jimi Hendrix och långt senare förvandlades den till svenskspråkig anti-kärnkraft-rökare av Claes Yngström och Sky High. Gitarrstärkaren är farligt nära härdsmälta. Mia Alasjö – The Old River / Förlåt mig min vän [7″, 1978] Låt: Förlåt mig min vän (The Searchers – Needles and Pins) The Searchers (och många andras) klassiker Needles and Pins i svensk version av Mia Alasjö och Staffan Runius: Förlåt mig min vän. Ttevligt släpp på legendariska etiketten Efel. Dan Hylander & Raj Montana Band – … Om änglar o sjakaler [LP, 1984] Låt: Fjärran står hjulen stilla (Beatles – Across the Universe) Dan Hylander och Raj Montana Band under deras imperial phase. The Beatles Across the Universe, försvenskad till Fjärran står hjulen stilla. Kosmisk och skånsk på samma gång. GILLAR DU VAD HÖR? DJ 50 Spänn är en fri och oberoende podd. Här finns ingen reklam.

"This is the first show of our annual Christmas double header. We did a show years back that looked at the history and trivia of classic Christmas Carols.

Celebrate the December birthday of the late, great jazz organist Jimmy Smith by listening to his recordings with the Avenue jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Jimmy Smith was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in 1928. He began his career on piano before switching to the organ in the early 1950s, developing a revolutionary sound that blended bebop and blues with deep gospel roots. In 1956, Smith signed with Blue Note Records, where he quickly became a sensation with groundbreaking albums like The Sermon, Back at the Chicken Shack, and Midnight Special. Today, Jimmy Smith is recognized as one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz—and the most important figure in establishing the Hammond B-3 organ as a leading instrument in the genre. Jimmy Smith performed on Indiana Avenue in 1961 at the Pink Poodle nightclub. But his strongest connection to Naptown came in 1966, when he entered the studio with guitarist Wes Montgomery. Those sessions produced two albums: Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo and The Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes. At the time, Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery were two of the most recognizable instrumental voices in jazz, each with a massive audience of devoted listeners. Expectations were high for their collaboration. Jazz fans were not disappointed. Jimmy and Wes shared a rare chemistry in the studio, and critics have since cited these sessions as some of the finest recordings of Jimmy Smith's career.

Gäst Roger Nilsson Året är 1975 och en ostoppbar kraft är i rörelse. Medan musikvärlden sover, plöjer fyra sminkade demoner från New York genom ett USA som ännu inte förstår vad som håller på att hända.

"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions. This week back in 1990, the first rap song topped the chart. That got me wondering how many other firsts and other interesting facts surround the top spot. Here is a list."
"The NOW CDs, as they are often called, started in the UK in 1998 with Richard Branson. They were a hit out of the gate, each crafted to a specific formula. They are a professionally made mix tape. We have the full history and a good bit of trivia about the series."
In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence-Brown from White Lies to discuss their electrifying seventh album "Night Light". This bold, live-driven reinvention captures the band at their most instinctive and free-flowing. Recorded live in the room for the first time, Night Light sees White Lies embracing spontaneity and creative risk — from the motorik rush of “Nothing On Me” and the 70s-inspired swagger of “Going Nowhere”, to the sweeping ambition of “All The Best” and the hypnotic finale “In The Middle.” Charles and Jack take us inside the fearless process behind the record — how rehearsing and performing songs before recording transformed the sound, how the influence of The Midnight Special inspired their approach, and how working with longtime collaborator Seth Evans unlocked a new sense of chemistry and space within the band. They also reflect on 16 years of White Lies — from their debut To Lose My Life… to the creative confidence of Night Light — exploring what keeps their partnership strong, how they've continued to evolve, and the joy of still finding new ground to explore together. “This record felt like freedom — the sound of a band who finally know exactly who they are.” — Charles Cave “It's amazing what happens when you stop chasing perfection and just play.” — Jack Lawrence-Brown White Lies' seventh album "Night Light" arrives November 7 via Play It Again Sam — a bold new chapter in the band's sixteen-year journey.

"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster. Maybe people really do think it exists or maybe it was invented to scare children at Halloween. We built up a list along with songs about candy. It is Halloween 2025."
"Many music outlets noticed there was no traditional Summer Song this year. No poppy dance tune that rose to the top of the charts. The Billboard Summer Song chart claimed a number one but it was a down tempo ballad. We will explore what happened and why."

"A band named The Velvet Sundown had a hit a short while ago. The concern was that the band and the music were all fake. They were both fully AI generated. It is easier than you think. We have the story and some examples of when I did the same thing for an audience just to prove how easy it is to do."
"The Rock School show is now a part of the Library of Congress through their American Archive of Public Broadcasting. I know. I can barely believe it myself. Here is the story of the Library of Congress and how this all came to be. Check the calendar. It is not April and I am not fooling."
"This is a fun parlor game. Name a band, a song by that band and then an album from that band that are all named exactly the same. Here is an example. Bad Company by Bad Company on the album Bad Company. There are many that are close but a true Trilogy is all three exactly the same."
"Naming a band can be quite difficult. The list of bands we will discuss today went back into history to grab a name or an event to come up with a moniker. You know a good many of them. "
"The K Pop band EXO claimed that one of their concerts in South Korea sold out in less than two seconds. It sounds impossible because you are not being told the entire story.

Preferences that go beyond just the note list. We also discuss dabbers and our best approach at maximizing their wear in response to a listener message.

This week we are doing something a little different. We are watching and reviewing Episode 71 of “The Midnight Special” that aired June 7, 1974. This episode had a couple of artists that are favorites of Mark and Pete.Link to the video of the MidnightSpecial episode: https://youtu.be/yxgut9pmopU?si=gPBU40PEt-xxhZys Some links to things we discussed in this episode:The Midnight Special Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themidnightspecialtvshowThe Official Scott Haskin Page: https://www.scotthaskin.com/The Haskin Cast: https://www.scotthaskin.com/home-page/podcast/The Haskin Cast Rory Gallagher Part 1 of 3: https://shows.acast.com/64ec548b7e4b9200119ff2a0/67d9c247f48da98092205b77Deep Purple – Smoke On The Podcast: https://www.scotthaskin.com/home-page/deep-purple-smoke-on-the-podcast/The Deep Purple Podcast: https://deeppurplepodcast.com/The Deep Purple Podcast: Episode 318 – Rory Gallagher –Calling Card: https://deeppurplepodcast.com/2025/05/19/episode-318-rory-gallagher-calling-card/Album Art: Blueprint- Rory Gallagher: https://www.discogs.com/release/1359210-Rory-Gallagher-Blueprint/image/SW1hZ2U6MTkxNDc5Mg==?srsltid=AfmBOorzuV7B_Eo-4sBABxSekoTYZ12Fu00cjURlD-gQgC6GtEfSAXCa
"Last week we spoke of Dockery Farms which the birthplace of The Blues. As all music does it was expanded and taken to different places by the musicians who played it. Here is a run down and description of the most popular forms of The Blues."
"Back in March of 1979 the movie The China Syndrome came out. Weeks later the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurred. This lead to musicians setting up MUSE and holding the NO Nukes concerts, albums and film. We have the entire story including the first time Bruce Springsteen was recorded live."
"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."
"If you have an extra 12495 dollars lying around then you can be a roadie for Gene Simmons on his solo tour. We will discuss what you must do and if the money is worth it. We will also talk about the average monies paid to real roadies."
"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."
Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
Bryce Eller, the man behind all the Darth Vader TV appearances and the official Vader meet and greets at local department stores, gives us exclusive stories of his time on many TV variety shows and live meet and greet engagements. As a companion piece to my article, Star Wars x 1970's Variety TV, I talk with Bryce to fill in details you won't find anywhere else. Bryce appeared on Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack, Donny and Marie, The Wacko Saturday Preview and Other Good Stuff Special, and Kaptain Kool and the Kongs Present ABC All-Star Saturday! We also go into voicing Darth Vader for these shows, perfecting the Vader walk, and the time he was hit on at a wrap party by a woman who wanted to turn Darth Vader to the deep dark side. Bryce made his Skywalking debut on the two part episodes - 236 and 237. But little did we know then, there were even more stories to tell.
