An utterly lovable video of one of my favourite synth pop songs with images from Stockholm in 1979.

Great song! Whether it's synth-pop is debatable: the prominent and heavily processed electric guitar over a synthetic rhythm section places it firmly with ABBA's later style. Wouldn't surprise me if the two bands shared studio personnel.
Thomas diLeva copied the tune for his song "Magisk Snövit" on 1991's Noll.
Cool video. Amusing to see the camera man focusing shamelessly on undulating asses and jiggling braless tits.
alas, that's probably why "video removed by user"
