“Müsli” next single
Written by tevensso on September 21, 2007 to Per Gessle and Releases.
From "En händig man" there will be a third single release. This time around it will be "Pratar med min müsli (hur det än verkar)" in a slightly edited version. Sadly it will only be another radio release, hence no b-side.
The single will be out in the beginning of October.
