Favourite Fucking Åmål non-BD song? *POLL*

What is your fave non-Broder Daniel song from Fucking Åmål?

You may choose one song in this poll.

There are of course other songs on the FÅ soundtrack, but most of them are not heard very clearly, some 90s pop songs just playing in the background etc.

I also didn't include the classical piece Adagio.

I think all the FÅ songs are great and very well chosen for the scenes in the film, this poll is mostly just for fun.

Anyway, here are som YT clips to freshen up your memories :D

Når vi två blir en by Gyllna Tider.
Just takes me back to my early teens. Never liked the band though, but that song was just to catchy *:)*

Before FÅ I hated Foreigner's "I want to know what love is", now it's my favourite.
Can't imagine why. :? :roll: :lol:

I would also give IWTKWLI but Drifter is so striking, so right rebellious, youthful and outrageous that I just can not resist the beat. While the Foreigner song I already knew a bit again, so Drifter is ''new'' for me and it's liked me immediately, but is still IWTKWLI older and also like typical lovesong and without this link with FA I would be hardly so in love. Show me love is a typical 90's hit song, upbeat, encouraging, funny .... it was really difficult decision. :roll:

I voted for ''Drifter'' although on the CD I prefer ''Simplicity'' by Souls, which can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HrPRQSySCM with a background of intercut stills from the film, although only a short segment is used in the film.

I voted IWTKWLI, simply the best song on the soundtrack apart from Broder Daniel's songs. I loved the fact that moodysson didn't chose a really cool 90's song for this scene but a 80's power ballad as uncool as it gets for the most important scene in this and amazingly it works so well.

The music did its job of scenesetting for me, but none of it made as deep an impression as any least glance or expression of the leads, particularly Rebecka.
