We're going along just fine being happy Americans, and then BOOM...some damn foriegner sneaks onto the radio and proves once again why America is hated so much. Or something.
No one is more guilty of this than the Swedes. Or at least it just seems that way. So I'm going with this for the sake of argument.
The latest, and arguably most....huh?..of the Swedish invasion is the whistletastic stylings of Peter, Bjorn, and John and their song Young Folks. Hey, even Kanye West digs this tune, so you know it's....well, you know an overrated rapper digs the tune, that's what you know.
I used to be really annoyed by this song. Now I just merely dislike it. Listen pal, unless your name is an anagram for oral sex, I don't want to hear no damn whistle solos!
This video has some neat-ass animation. Or, it would except for the fact that it's CREEPY AS HELL NIGHTMARE FUEL!!!!
The best part here, of course, is the one dude on bongos in the Hulk t-shirt (Clearly, Swedes have no regard for copyrights) that appears to be STONED OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND!!! Quite a feat for a cartoon character, mind you.

Carol, Bobby's gotten into the LSD again!
One thing that sticks out about Young Folks is it's credited as "featuring Vicoria Bergsman". Is it possible for a song to be "featuring" an artist if the featired artist is someone we've never heard of? Methinks that's abuse of the "Featuring" credit. Damn credit bogarting Swedes.
In conclusion, I'd like to directly address Peter, Bjorn, and if he's paying attention, that douchebag John. I hope the one fat dude from the Hives sits on all of you.
If you enjoy watching creepy Swedish cartoon people throwing creepy Swedish cartoon parties, then by all means, go nuts!

I watched this video a few weeks ago on You Tube. I liked it, but I'm not rushing to download the album. I think I liked the animation the most.
