“Sunny Girl” by the Hep Stars
The Hep Stars were a Swedish pop group formed in 1963. Like a lot of bands they figured out that you have to sing in English to get international attention. Here they are performing “Sunny Girl”. The song sounds perfectly pleasant and pop chart friendly, but if you pay attention to the lyrics you realize that most of them are totally ridiculous. Seems the guys didn’t quite grasp the English language as well as they thought they did. My favorite line is “She’s domestic, she is property”.
The most famous member of the Hep Stars was Benny Andersson, who went on to become one of the two B’s in ABBA.
