What a surprise....Well, i LIKE the song, the music, but... to be a single i thought it be included a Pers voice...
PD:Shooping with mother? Or maybe shoping with DUMBER??

Roxrider_USA said on :

Nothing out of the ordinary, though.

Take care!

Hmmm..........

whateveriam said on :

I’m having the same difficulties. I don’t have Quicktime, so installed it, and it still isn’t working. Damnit

From the comments though, I take it I haven’t missed much?

I didn’t like it that much and I don’t like the song either, but it was kind of funny moments in the video.

7-Twenty-7 said on :

The song is nice, I like it. Much better than some instrumentals we can find on the SOAP album. But the video... there is not much there. Just assorted images all glued together, with a music background. I was waiting for something crazy, but with some plot or idea behind it. This is totally random.

RJ1976 said on :

I hate instrumentals ... But kind of like this one ...

At minute 1.38 where the old man walks up to the house... That’s
from Poltergeist II :-O ... Love those movies *Grin*

Other style of music but I like this song. Nice work, Per!!

abysmo said on :

The song is really old fashioned, mix between 007 themes and some 70’s psychedelia. Sounds good. And video fits its atmosphere, together it has meaning.I like it. Nice b-side (or a-side) surprise. BTW: Can anybody upload video for download? Thanks.

I do like the video; Helena looks as great as ever… loving Per with the tape over his mouth! However cannot help thinking what is the point of a song without lyrics let alone a video with it… still I like the music! It’s catchy!

madmoosegirl said on :

@ RJ1976 – I think you will find it’s not actually from Poltergeist II I can tell from the background but it’s made to look like it…. There isn’t much I don’t know about the Poltergeist films!

Inga said on :

Well, I am sure many will call me a philistine, but I don’t like it. I actually also never really liked SOAP. The song sounded quite interesting at the beginning but I didn’t like this voice in the strange singsong.
What I enjoy about Per’s music is that it always reminds me of Sweden. So I really enjoy the stuff he does with Gyllene Tider and the solo albums “Mazarin” and “En händig man”. I don’t think that Per is in need of using strange and indefinable sounds to make good and valuable music.

randall said on :

7-Twenty-7: thank you for uploading the video

Who said Helena was pretty as always? I didn’t see her, Per with that tape on his mouth: fanny, the rest of the video: it doesn’t impresses me much, some funny shots but lack of structure, no story behind
the song: I do really like it...

7-Twenty-7 said on :

You are welcome :)

Some people should remember he composed this song exclusively to be used as the theme-song of a TV-show. It had to be a funny song, mostly instrumental, and that’s what we got. He had no intention to join the ’Hall of Fame’ or hit any charts by doing this.

abysmo said on :

Regarding chart positions... “Pratar Med Min Müsli (Hur Det Än Verkar)” / “Shopping With Mother” was released Nov. 28th, but didn’t entry to Swedish Top 60 single chart. I hope it will change next week, both a-sided songs sounds good, no hits but they deserves to hit at least Top 60.

madmoosegirl said on :

@ randall - You missed Helena... she looks great in that video, she is sat at the mirror doing her hair and then walking down the stairs holding the candles!

crashroxer said on :

Haha...that’s crazy - but cool :)

Gessle Rules!!!

RJ1976 said on :

@Madmoosegirl ... Are you sure ? Well just had a look and the background really doesnt fit 100% :-) ... But you must admit it’s quite similar... Love those films. Well 1 & 2 I like ... 3 is bad, but only the ending because they hat to rewrite it, because of the death of Heather O’Rourke (Carol Anne)

christian said on :

I really love music from Per, Marie, Gyllene Tider and so on, but “Shopping with mother” ist really “waste”, sorry Per!!! It ist my objective opinion.

Christian

whateveriam said on :

@RJ1976 - Yep, she’s in it. She’s in one of those repetitive shots looking behind her whilst seated for example.

KixGuy said on :

Great song! Good video!

madmoosegirl said on :

@ RJ1976

P3 was one of my fave but you could tell Heather was really ill in filming that, it was such a shame she died..... now I have the urge to go watch P 1 & 2 & 3!!!!

ket-ket said on :

i did not liked not song and nor video,i always expect from Per something spetiall,and unfortunatelly its not as should be.

wonderful_balloon said on :

You have to get used to the video but the song is the best thing Ive heard for months!! :-)
MORE OF IT MR. GESSLE!

Kathrin said on :

Somehow I’m having Problems with watching this Video, it does not play!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Have Fun!!!

abysmo said on :

The problem with SWM is that it’s not Gessle, but SOAP. And SOAP is a little bit different story.

oasissupersonic said on :

It’s definitely a creative video; for some reason reminds me of “Kix” vid; plus, I can totally hear this tune on a 70’s tv show etc... For me, the best part of the vid is with Per and the masking tape over his mouth as obviously used as a metaphor towards the non-existing vocals. Either way, it’s not the worst thing that’s come out of Per (or his non-existing mouth!) :o) Cheers and Peace, Will.

rossyrox said on :

Hmmm it looks like a clip I made at college 12 years ago when I was poorly trying to be artistic.

animalkingdom said on :

I so loved son of a plumber! Not anymore though. Awful track, awful clip!

Rox_Nox2003 said on :

Nothing impressive for me here ,,, nor video nor song itself ... it remembers me The Dorrs but not Per Gessle as I am used to knowing him musicallywise... Maybe he is becoming to attach to this Son of The Plumer/En Handig Man 60 rock and roll sound too much. Anyway I must congrats because I feel is really bringin that sound back reproducing it perfectly in all details. But this is not the Gessle I grew up with once... not the “roxettish” Gessle I onced really liked... oh well! Anyway I hope this new project of his goes well...

RJ1976 said on :

@Madmoosegirl ...

Sad story with Heather O Rourke and the “big sister” from P1... I saw them all yesterday :-)

Baby-C said on :

Sorry.... I don’t like this at all.
Could be because I generally don’t like instrumental songs... I don’t know. It just seems strange to me.

nereida said on :

an instrumental song???mmmm....

Som i en dröm en ängel passerade genom mitt rum

PiR_GeSSLe said on :

I totally agree with oasissupersonic. The video reminds me of “Kix” because of the short clips repeating. Is this one by Jonas Åkerlund as well?

I also agree it has a Son of a Plumber-typical retro sound “featuring” James Bond 007.

The theme is great for a TV-show. I’ve heard it for the first time 10 minutes ago only one single time and the tune is still echoing in my head! I think that’s what theme’s are all about: with a little piece of music you remember what is it about.

I wonder about a who the baby in the video is. And I loved when Helena walks holding the candles down the stairs and the picture of Per with her mom at the end.

Way to go, Per!

PS: And that one laughing in the end must be Christoffer! I can’t help laughing out loud whenever I see Mazarin’s making-of. He rules!

whateveriam said on :

Nope, it’s by Jens Jansson

AURYTE said on :

I love both the song and the video. Yes, it’s not Per Gessle, we are used to listen to. But isn’t it great to get something different once in a while? Something fresh and unusual?

Oh, that part with Per with a tape on is a killer :P Thumbs up, Per!

PS I can’t help but I just wish it was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. But Jans did a fantastic job anyway :)

jude77 said on :

hm... seriously, what’s this?
I liked SOAP, but I don’t think we can compare it SWM. It looks like spending free time with composing something.It must have taken 2 hours to do it, I guess.
I didn’t expect it from Per.:(
Sorry if you feel I’m negative.
