I know there have been a few dance versions of GT and Gessle solo songs out there. I’m not sure if I’ve got them all, can someone please to see if the list is missing some version?
Also what du you think of these versions? In general I’m positive to new version, but they can ruin the song in some ways, but other can enchance the positive energy in a song.
HKAK - by A. Melin feat. Frida
HKAK - by FC Mania vs Maria (Don’t know where it’s from really, but it is absolutely AWSOME!)
Det Är Över Nu - Vasco Millboy feat. Emilia
Sommartider - Vasco & Millboy feat. Marbella
Sommartider - 2002 (DJ Uman Remix)
Sommartider - mix ??? (not GT for sure) 3:06 long
Sommartider 101 ??? (a girl singing) 3:29 long
När Vi Två Blir En - Giggi Barone feat. Sandra F
När Vi Två Blir En - Miio feat Daddy Boastin
När Alla Vännerna Gått Hem - Miio
Det Hjärta Som Brinner - Miio

First of all everybody has got their own taste and opinion. I never claimed that these dance version are better than the orginal GT/Gessle version. The only one of the listed songs I really love is the HKAK by FC Mania vs Maria, and I really enjoy the acoustic guitar in Det Hjärta Som Brinner - Miio, Besides that it’s just sort of cool the remixes are done, it proves that the music is loved. Also it can open the doors to this fantastic music of mr Gessle to other audience than the true GT/Gessle fans.
I love GT/Gessle songs, and listen to it almost all the time. Than I feel that a tiny change to the song, can give it a bit of a new life, instead of getting tired of a song for short period of time. In the same way I love hearing new Gessle version of his own song, like HKAK in the all acoustic version during the GT25 tour this summer of the superb version of Flickan I En Cole Porter-sång under Summer Mazarin tour in 2003. Tiny change in arrangement, gives the song a reinforced life.
But I also mean that some of these version are totally bad, like HKAK by A. Melin feat. Frida. Who could they mess up the simple lyrics like that, and there no rythm to the song.
If one doesn’t like the dance versions of GT/Gessle song, maybe one doesn’t like the remixes/ dance versions on the official Roxette singels either, or is that okay because Per okay it, or?

This is a band called 101 (sometimes referred as Yxnollaykkönen which is “101” in Finnish slang). The cover of “Sommartider” was released on their album “Aamuyö” in 1995. The release number was YX-8218. The length of the song as stated on the album cover was 3:31.
Another Finnish dance version of a Gyllene Tider song was Mascara’s “När vi två blir en”. It was released in 1998 on Radio X3M’s “eXtrem:a Sommarhits vol 1” compilation, release number POP-555. TDR gave a couple of these away in a competition in 1998. This album is probably quite impossible to get from anywhere else.

Hmm.. didnt
Brinkenstierna release a remixed cover of Sommartider in the early 90´s?
(I belive it was as a DJ-promo/copy on 12”)

When it comes to songs of GT or Per Gessle, I am more then 100% sure that the song IS being ruined, especially if they make some kind of dance-version of it.
” but other can enchance the positive energy in a song.”
I don’t agree, the GT-versions are perfect.
