Damn you Ace of Base!!!
Okay, so I'm a shamefaced Ace of Base fan. I can't help it. The music is just so damn catchy.
So the album "The Bridge" came out when I was maybe a senior in high school. And there was one song, one song on that damn album, that has been stuck in my head for years.
I'm talking about a song called "Lucky Love".
After nearly 10 years of listening to this damn song...it still makes no sense to me. So, I know that you, my dear sports fans, will be able to give me your personal interpretations of the songs lyrics.
Here they are:
Life is a paradise
Woah yeah
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
I believe life could be paradise once again (once again...)
And the love we thought we lost is sleeping within
Close your eyes
It's something for you
Lucky Love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
"Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
I'm a prisoner of hope I know
We are young and we are old we're falling like leaves (like leaves...)
And your heart's so full of soul it makes me believe
Once again
It's something for you
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight
A bridge over time it what you need to see the light
To see the light
Woah yeah
Lucky love
Lucky love
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
Lucky love
Lucky love
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven (I know I know)
Lucky love belong in teenage heaven
I know I know
'Cause I've been there with you tonight (rocket there with you)
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I know I know
I'm a prisoner of hope I know.

Why is this so pressing at nearly 10:30 when Underling should already be in bed? Because I had to run out to the corner store (aka Crackhead Central) to get OJ and the damn song came up on my CD player before I knew what happened.
I know you all will try to help me out here. Don't leave OCD boy in the dark alone, thinking about these damnable transliterated lyrics all night.
I mean...for example...is the there a term in Sweden that means "teenage heaven"? Is this a colloquialism that only translates into English in form but not concept?
You don't have to have all the answers, just an interp. I would appreciate your comments.
And if any of you happen to be acquainted with the hot guy from Ace of Base, Ulf Ekberg, send him a link to this page. Maybe he can help explain it.
Later, Sports fans...

Sweedish pop is highly addictive --- so you should not feel bad. Embrace your love of Ace of Base and fly that pop flag high!!!!
I think Sweeden is still waiting for the next ABBA --- thus far, it hasn't happened. However, I remember that there were thoughts that AOB might have been contenders.
I am sooooooo old --- every bar/club I went to played Ace of Base, Basia and Army of Lovers. You were probably still in grade school! LOL!

maybe it isn't made to make sense, maybe they just put it in there because it fit the melody? hard to say, i listened to nirvana forever and i'll honestly say that there might be poetry in there but it's to personal for anyone else to truly understand.

Maybe it's just the way my sordid mind works but as I read the lyrics of that song all I hear is UNDER AGE SEX, UNDER AGE SEX !
Sorry you did ask ! ;)
