Get it right in the heat of the night!

BWO – Temple Of Love
Yesterday’s Melodifestivalen was a bit of a disaster, wasn’t it? The Jessica’s were robbed! Well at least the supreme BWO went through to the finale with the absolute pop stomper ‘Temple Of Love’. It seems like the BWO’s new sound is a bit more euro-trash and 90’s-influed, which is a good thing. We simply can’t wait for the video! And the remixes! And the new album! Out of all the songs that has made it to the finale this far, this is our favourite, so BWO FOR VICTORY!

Bimbo Boy – Drama Queen
If you’ve read Catchy Tunes of Sweden from the very beginning, way back when we did the ‘A-Z’-thingy, you might remember this guy who was featured with the poptastic song ‘Earthquake’. Well since I first wrote about him he’s landed a record deal, and this is his debut single! I love Bimbo Boy for several reasons. Before he got signed he used to put pictures of himself sucking bananas taken with his webcam on his website, he has songs about how good he is at giving blowjobs and making Marilyn Monroe in heaven proud, he has a blog in which he reveals things about his sex life and he used to be my neighbour on Last FM which proves he has quite good taste in music. ‘Drama Queen’ is the campest song you’ve heard this year. Even camper than Queentastic on Melodi Grand Prix. Seriously! Have you ever heard of any gayer artist, like ever!? (Or at least since Alexander Bard used to be Barbie back in the 80’s.)

CTOS Classic: Camilla Brinck – Heaven (2001)
Ballads and mid-tempos are a bit of a rarity in my posts, so here is one of the loveliest songs from the past decade. It’s a simple acoustic pop song with a killer chorus, and it sounds like something off the Alexis Strum-album. You might recognize Camilla from competing in Melodifestivalen last year with the song ‘Jenny’.
