Background[edit | edit source]
On July 5th, 2008, the song was first uploaded by YouTube user Slymukk, who claims it was recorded on April 5th, 1980, most likely off the Swedish radio station P3.[1] The description also includes the tape's tracklist, which consists mostly of UK-based bands with songs from 1979-1980, but the song is still assumed to be Swedish based on the singer's accent.[2]
On August 17th, 2024, Reddit user pnwmkkkkkBRASIL discovered that a full recording of the April 5th, 1980 broadcast of P3 exists in the National Library of Sweden.[3][4]
