Avenue Q, I wish I could go back to college - in swedish

[yaosio]

In the US there is no consistent way of saying university or college. Some refer to their selves as a college, others are universities and contain colleges within for each area of study.

[PernilleBorup]

Denmark should have this as well. But I guess this is the closest to Avenue Q we'll get.

In sweden we use allot of english words thou everyone understands english here, so we often speak something called "swinglish" a mix of swedish and english

[12rawr24]

he said "shit" lol even though i don't understand a word they're singing, they're pretty good lol

[loveurdx]

in holland shit means oops too..

i love this, though i don't understand a word. (except for college;))

[PatrikMidelf]

Det här är så otroligt bra! Jag kan bara inte sluta titta. Vill så gärna se hela showen igen!

Tack för att du la upp den här, den förgyller ofta min dag!^^

In English, this song expresses how I feel word for word. I wish I could understand the Swedish translation, and I wish this song were translated into Spanish and Italian, the only foreign languages I speak. In fact, I'll take a look now....!

Good Job, Swedes!!

[234sirhc]

@larrynod If you listened to the song in english. You should be able to understand it in swedish

[Rastlink]

That this show has been translated to Swedish and not danish, shows a part of the swedish mentality that sometimes makes me wanna move there. Sad that I really suck at understanding you sweets :( As soon as I'm speaking to someone living more than 100km from Øresund, I don't get a thing...

[lpedy]

Jag kommer att få see domma LIVE

[unpaidpiper]

Lyllo, där har du verkligen nåt att se fram emot. Det är en toppenshow!

[lpedy]

hehe XD

[Casacda]

Ja ska med se dom live nu på fredag i linköping =D

[dragoncat]

So, since there are no colleges in Sweden, they just used the English word--I guess that's fine since the thing is set in NY after all, though I'm wondering if the average Swedish audience knows the word?

Anyway, these guys seems to be doing a good job--so they're not a carbon copy of the original, so what? They singing's great!!

Sweden (like so many countries) has become very Americanized. We have American shows on tv and we go to see American movies. Everyone in Sweden have heard about college and knows the word. :)

[barney0503]

Start at 0:40, it's proper funny

[Szaron]

The word "shit" doesn't actually mean the same thing in Sweden as it does everywhere else. In Sweden it means closer to "oops". XD

[KaixRei24]

Dang! That was good!

[Lickmytoe]

Swedish is such a random language

[aegelko]

Svenksa ar bäst

(swedish is the best)

[ayeshashasha]

[Chrislee89]

She's different to the other versions I've seen of her. Does anyone know if Rick Lyon did these puppets again?

Anyway, great cast! Hope you guys enjoy it in Sweden!

[unpaidpiper]

All the swedish puppet designs were personally approved by Rick Lyon, but the actual puppets were built by Petter Lennstrand, who has been doing the show "Allram Eest" on Swedish tv. There´s loads of his stuff on YouTube.

[youhgurt]
