One thing strikes me. The Swedes are so incredibly professional. This was apparently an interlude number in the Swedish final of Eurovision Song Content, yet they bring out the whole artillery of comedians, musicians, dancers and songwriters. And everything served with a smile. They are only 10 million, yet they are always at the forefront when it comes to it. Impressive country.
The Russian ambassador make a statement about how they thought the entire performance was in bad taste and insulting to the Russian Federation on Swedish television. That just made it going from really funny to hilarious !
Typical Swede that undersells what happen! They literally said the comics should be admitted to a psych ward, and threatened actual (undisclosed ie military?) action because of it. And oh, they also did a response in music form about how they will invade and kill us 😂
I think it was swedish tv who went to moscow to conduct street interviews to ask people what they thought about the song and most liked it and considered it a compliment!
Not to mention that this ticked just about every box of the interlude performance presented by the Russian hosts in the ESC later that year... The Russians simply thought Grotesco had gotten inside information.
It was right before Putin stepped down as president, there for the lyrics Dasvidaniya Putin (Good bye Putin) And of course everyone knew he just stepped down on paper, and thus the lyric "was it only a fling, or you want a ring on your fingaling" 😂
Swedes go SO HARD with their parodies! 😂 The interlude in the ESC in sweden last time, with the hosts Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede ("peace peace love love" I think) was incredible and kind of managed to overshadow all the entries 😂😂😂😂😂
For every Semi up until the Final of Melodifestivaen in Stockholm Grotesco had sung different versions of this song. None were really that good. For the Final they wanted something special so they "went" to Russia and dealt with the Russian Mafia to get a famous Russian opera singer to sing this song . You missed that part of the sketch, it's just before this song in the longer clip of Tingeling. This had all the Russian stereotypes, if you don't count the lyrics of Da svidanja Putin (Bye Putin) and Na zdorovje Lenin (cheers Lenin) , you had a Russian military choir, Russian prostitutes, Cosack dansers, a dancing bear, babushka dolls, balalajkas, Tetris, the Tetris song and the Russian anthem.

There wasn't any serious discussion about sending it as representing sweden, it wasnt even competing to represent sweden. It was a comical intermission that some considered to be better than the acts actually competing. And it is really funny. 😂 and controversial enough to get a negative reaction from Russia. 😂😂 If I haven't misunderstood there are just some words that actually are Russian, l including part of their anthem. The rest is nothing but gibberish with a Russian sound to it. 😂
@@Rymdpandan This should be Ukraine's new National Anthem, Tingeling.....with the best sentence in the the song that is ""Tingeling, Tingeling, Dasvidaniya Putiin..." :-)
It makes this even more amusing. Just imagine the level of butthurt they had to be to give us, a country of 10 million people, that amount of time in one of the biggest shows in a country that has 173 million people and a sense of owning the whole world 😂
Not only that, Putin was stepping down then, thats why they sing Dasvidaniya Putin (Good bye Putin) and "was it only a fling or you want a ring on your fingaling" 😂 because everyone knew he would only step down on paper
They released a full-length album where every single track is Tingaling in different musical styles. Russia was at least bothered enough to have their ambassador make a statement about how they thought the entire performance was in bad taste and insulting to the Russian Federation on Swedish television.
I actually think even the Russian embassy was flabbergasted by how great of a song this was. If It would have entered Eurovision It would have been epic!
I have to admit... When I'm out jogging, that's the song that plays on repeat in my ears. It has a perfect beat/pace and I get a good steady stride. The text can be discussed, but the pace, 10 points out of 10. I once ran the mile (swedish mile, around 1 hour) with that song on repeat 😂😂😂

We Swedes don't get everything with Grotesco either. Nevertheless it's very funny and entertaining. This performance explains the reason why they called themselves Grotesco.😂
There is A LOT of comments, but I will try to set it right,(I am old enough to really remember this)😉 It was a INTERMEDIAT ACT, Grotesco NEVER wanted to join the Swedish enrty show (Melodifestivalen) AND they did NOT want to reach to ESC! As we are very sarcastic people (most of us) Grotesco just wanted to make a lot of fun of Russia, and it was holarious! Perhaps to close to the truth😉! That is why there was a formal complaint…. Putin have no self distance OR humor… that is the take away from this.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I remember when this first came out, pretty much everyone I talked to in school afterwards wanted this to be our actual entry for this year if it was an actual entry and not just a special interlude. It's way too good for what it is lol
It's also good to know that the title "Tingeling" in a not so cryptical way may refer to a swedish humorous but dirty song called "Min dingeling" (melodi: Den skrattande Polisen). Look it up.
When it comes to the dancing bear that was a part of entertainment in Europe until end of the 18 hundreds BUT the year Grotessco made this song it was a big news thing that they still had dancing bears in Russia
This was the voting-break entertainment, live, at one EuroVision. “Da svedanja, Putin” (Goodbye, Putin) is a line in the refrain… The Russians indeed showed no humour 😂
The song that caused a diplomatic issue with Russia (since they are singing "Goodbye Putin" in russian) and then when Russia hosted Eurovision they sort of did a copy of this number. :) So much fun!
This was an interval act 2009 in Swedish preselection to Eurovision song contest, since the ESC was going to be held in Russia they made this parody of Russia, which was well not taken that well by the Russian ambassador but think many Russians found it funny.
Oh No you missed the first part where they meet the Russian Mafia….. this is the full clip, but sadly there are no subtitles… th-cam.com/video/bRUX3nXahUg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VBn-LkLWUEpczBWp and if you enjoyed this one you would probably also enjoy the second part of Tingeling with Grotesco and DJ Trexx!! th-cam.com/video/YIF55SUOnn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C4nvdS5b-1pA6TJ7
3:50 Well, it kinda was in eurovision, but not competing. It was played as the middle act in Melodifestivalen (which is just swedish eurovision, to decide which song will be competing in eurovision). And that's probably why the embassy found this so offensive. Not only was this on public service tv, it was being sent on prime time tv, during the finals of THE MOST VIEWED PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY. Out of a population of 10 million, Melodifestivalen gets about 3 million views every time!
I know it's out of season, but since we're going down the Grotesco-hole, I'd like to suggest "Tomten är en kommunist" (Santa is a communist). You can find it live with english subs right here on youtube.
There is also a return of dj trexx. You should deffo look at it. Dj trexx-they will never stop the dance. Sooooo funny and one of the funniest thing of Grotescoo
This song wouldnt have been allowed in Eurovision do to that there are too many people on stage and you are only allowed the total of 6 people. But they could have used the others on a big screen on stage. I have this song in my playlist.
You saw his home from outside. On his "slow motion" section of this video. That's outside of the flat. About the windows... He mentioned there is a latch you have to lift to open your window all the way. If not lift you're only able to open like 3-4 inches. So they are safe for burglars and birds. You need more force to open your window frame then breaking the glass
Tingeling.. Its gibblish word for calling, like ring, ring.. They sing in English, some word in Russian, little swedish , but most are made up words to sound like Russian... But of course Russian took it bad, when they using Putin in it and have all kinda sterotype things like a brown bear.. Yes, it got really popular in sweden 😂
It was a pause act in Sweden. The European final was in Russia that had won the year before. And Russians were very upset. The opening act there was very much the same as this. How could we know in Sweden?...
1st there exists a short skit to this song where the two people in silver are talking to the Russian mob. 2nd Grotesco have made a sort of part two to Tingeling called: Grotesco - They will never stop the dance. 3rd Tingeling is what we call Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.
This was a major series of sketches leading up to this finalé. You're barely scrathcing the surface by just watching this. Rest is in swedish though so would hard for you to really get all of it.
A fun fact is also that EVERY comedic songs or extra plays for the last 10 years has been better than all the actual contribution for the Melodifestivalen. :D
The part w the dancing bear and how we should not fear the dancing bear is obviously a jibe at the “don’t poke the Russian bear” saying. The comedians are portraying the fearsome “Russian bear” as a rather tame and entertaining creature in reality. This of course pissed the Russians off something awful, which makes it all the more funny.
O, no !! You have to se the video from the start, or you will miss all the fun! It begins with a meeting between the men from Stockholm and russian maffia in Moskva!!
This performance should have been a valid contender for Sweden instead of the other crap artists LOL also it would give the russians the finger :). Ive heard though though that common russian people that seen it just laugh at it.
The bear is a symbol of Russia. Strong and terrifying. Grotesco brings it on stage in chains and makes it dance silly. Of course Russia will be angry. Dictatorships are not known for taking a joke.
Most of the chorus is fake Russian so Swedes don't understand more of it than your average English speaker. The parts that do matter are less fake and say "Nazdrovye, Lenin!" which translates to "Cheers Lenin!" (as in what you say before downing a drink), and "Dasvidanya, Putin!", which translates to "Goodbye Putin!" And yeah, it's a shameless parody of clichés/prejudice about Russia (the bear is the Russian Bear), some hailing back from Soviet times, like the military choir and the very much genuine first couple of lines of the Soviet national anthem in there. It also parodies Eurodisco in general and that blond guy in a weird haircut is clearly supposed to be German. As far as having this as our entry in the 2009 ESC? Too political I think with the mentions of Lenin and Putin, and taking those out would have diminished it. Although it would have been fun since the reason Grotesco created this (master)piece in the first place was that the ESC that year was to be held in Moscow. Grotesco is not a "he", by the way, it's a group consisting of about a dozen people and that number has been pretty stable over the years.
Much of the lyric is in Russian. They are singing "Dasvidaniya Putin" wich means Goodbye Putin. He didn´t take kindly to that and the use of Russian symbols and it caused a diplomatic incident.
2009 is imo actually interesting from a couple different views. Georgia's song was dq for being to political(what is wrong with 'we don't wanna put in'? With also song lyric we just wanna shoot him?) The opening music was t.a.t.u together with red army choir singing not gonna get us. With jetfighters and tanks on the stage.
Reading back, this is what I could find. It was meant as a stereotype of how Swedes see Russia by the comedy group Grotesco (at least that's what they SAID). The Russian ambassador in Sweden had a complete meltdown, said it was insanely stereotyping of Russia and Russians and that Grotesco should be in a mental facility, among other things. A reporter from Sweden asked/showed the clip to Russians in Russia and all of them thought it was really funny and that they liked the song. A producer apologized and sent flowers to the Russian embassy. In an absolutely hilarious move SVT, Swedish National Television then rescinded the apology. I remember a bunch of bonkers stuff like someone in the group being advised by the National Security Agency that there was a threat against them from Russia and their response was to go outside the Russian embassy to play the song. Unfortunately I couldn't find any evidence of that, so it could be be a false memory.
The whole song was ment as a way to laugh at how Putin gets angry about small thing. It all started in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia. Next year Georgia naturaly sent a anti Putin song to ESC which funny enough was supposed to be in Russia. Russia then disqualified Georgias entry. Russia made a answear to Grotescos song tingaling. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/cyPsqsH8I4M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4QD4OHXXf_FlZT5c
Given that 2009 ESC was held in russia (which is why they made a song about russia to begin with) I´m not sure they would have goten out alive considering how angry the russians were.

Dasvidaniya Putin! We all hoped it was forever! But the bastard came back (well actually he never left ofc, it was all for show)... When Ukraine (with western support ofc) takes back it's country from the clutches of Putin maybe this will be played at the discos!
It's mostly just english and the word Tingeling repeated all the time, at one point there is sometimes swedish aswell but sung in attemt of doing russian accent. It's not gibberish!

Tingeling (Hey!)
Thanks
✨🔥🥰🔥✨
We Swedes don't get everything with Grotesco either. Nevertheless it's very funny and entertaining. This performance explains the reason why they called themselves Grotesco.😂
There is A LOT of comments, but I will try to set it right,(I am old enough to really remember this)😉 It was a INTERMEDIAT ACT, Grotesco NEVER wanted to join the Swedish enrty show (Melodifestivalen) AND they did NOT want to reach to ESC! As we are very sarcastic people (most of us) Grotesco just wanted to make a lot of fun of Russia, and it was holarious! Perhaps to close to the truth😉! That is why there was a formal complaint…. Putin have no self distance OR humor… that is the take away from this.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I remember when this first came out, pretty much everyone I talked to in school afterwards wanted this to be our actual entry for this year if it was an actual entry and not just a special interlude. It's way too good for what it is lol
It's also good to know that the title "Tingeling" in a not so cryptical way may refer to a swedish humorous but dirty song called "Min dingeling" (melodi: Den skrattande Polisen). Look it up.
Yes the Russian ambasador in Sweden 🇸🇪 was made haha 😂
🤣😂🤣 Love that the bear is somewhat of a highlight in this one... It would be powerful - but was not at all... 😂
Now you just HAVE to do "Love love peace peace" from Eurovision 2016.
They were MAD, yes!
When it comes to the dancing bear that was a part of entertainment in Europe until end of the 18 hundreds BUT the year Grotessco made this song it was a big news thing that they still had dancing bears in Russia
This was the voting-break entertainment, live, at one EuroVision. “Da svedanja, Putin” (Goodbye, Putin) is a line in the refrain… The Russians indeed showed no humour 😂
The song that caused a diplomatic issue with Russia (since they are singing "Goodbye Putin" in russian) and then when Russia hosted Eurovision they sort of did a copy of this number. :) So much fun!
This was an interval act 2009 in Swedish preselection to Eurovision song contest, since the ESC was going to be held in Russia they made this parody of Russia, which was well not taken that well by the Russian ambassador but think many Russians found it funny.
The year Alexander Rybak won ESC for Norway with Fairytale, fitting that a belarussian Norwegian won in Russia
This is so fucking great. Best parodi ever.
Imagine if he try to invade sweden and we play this on every big screen and radio all over sweden 😂
”A union of peace love and bass” is also good😀
Oh No you missed the first part where they meet the Russian Mafia….. this is the full clip, but sadly there are no subtitles…

and if you enjoyed this one you would probably also enjoy the second part of Tingeling with Grotesco and DJ Trexx!!

3:50 Well, it kinda was in eurovision, but not competing. It was played as the middle act in Melodifestivalen (which is just swedish eurovision, to decide which song will be competing in eurovision). And that's probably why the embassy found this so offensive. Not only was this on public service tv, it was being sent on prime time tv, during the finals of THE MOST VIEWED PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY. Out of a population of 10 million, Melodifestivalen gets about 3 million views every time!
I know it's out of season, but since we're going down the Grotesco-hole, I'd like to suggest "Tomten är en kommunist" (Santa is a communist).
You can find it live with english subs right here on youtube.
There is also a return of dj trexx. You should deffo look at it. Dj trexx-they will never stop the dance. Sooooo funny and one of the funniest thing of Grotescoo
This song wouldnt have been allowed in Eurovision do to that there are too many people on stage and you are only allowed the total of 6 people. But they could have used the others on a big screen on stage.
I have this song in my playlist.
To political
@@stefangummesson8367 so was Croatias last year and Jamalas song 1944 for Ukraine in 2016. Just to name two that Eurovision accepted.
This was a inbetween comedy act in melodifestivalen.
Godmorgon kör massor med pure av Sweden grymt bra covers på heay metal 🎉😂😂😂😂 Mvh Stefan i Sweden skål.
You saw his home from outside. On his "slow motion" section of this video. That's outside of the flat.
About the windows... He mentioned there is a latch you have to lift to open your window all the way. If not lift you're only able to open like 3-4 inches. So they are safe for burglars and birds. You need more force to open your window frame then breaking the glass
Tingeling.. Its gibblish word for calling, like ring, ring..
They sing in English, some word in Russian, little swedish , but most are made up words to sound like Russian...
But of course Russian took it bad, when they using Putin in it and have all kinda sterotype things like a brown bear..
Yes, it got really popular in sweden 😂
Yes, but let's not forget. It's also the Swedish name for Tinkerbell.
It was a pause act in Sweden. The European final was in Russia that had won the year before. And Russians were very upset. The opening act there was very much the same as this. How could we know in Sweden?...
And ofc Russia answered with a parody as well that had a "threat" in it 😂🤣
1st there exists a short skit to this song where the two people in silver are talking to the Russian mob.
2nd Grotesco have made a sort of part two to Tingeling called: Grotesco - They will never stop the dance.
3rd Tingeling is what we call Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.
The song and Tinkerbell are probable not related.
Check out Love,love, peace, peace as well. it is another interval act by Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlö
Since ESC 2009 was hosted by Russia I don't think it would have won. They would probably have been arrested instead 😂.
This song makes a lot more sense if you watch the entire sketch, not just the song. there are like 2 minutes of buildup.
100%, I agree. The sketch was spot on.😂
"At least Norway won. And Norway's your neighbor, so-" HA... Don't... Don't even get us started.
This was a major series of sketches leading up to this finalé. You're barely scrathcing the surface by just watching this. Rest is in swedish though so would hard for you to really get all of it.
A fun fact is also that EVERY comedic songs or extra plays for the last 10 years has been better than all the actual contribution for the Melodifestivalen. :D
Please react to Petra Mede and Måns at ESC! Their middle act numbers were brilliant!
You need to watch the comback aswell 😂
Actually, the funniest thing is wathing this and then watching the actual russian middle act from the eurovision that year.
Our entery that year in Eurovision is a hardcore communist, so kinda funny that everyone wanted this song instead that's takin a piss out of them 😂
And the first 40% part is cut out, still fun
The part w the dancing bear and how we should not fear the dancing bear is obviously a jibe at the “don’t poke the Russian bear” saying. The comedians are portraying the fearsome “Russian bear” as a rather tame and entertaining creature in reality.
This of course pissed the Russians off something awful, which makes it all the more funny.
do loving and showing we in sweden have some small underestandig of jokes and we do love all to be sarkastics eaven russian will laught for this one
O, no !! You have to se the video from the start, or you will miss all the fun! It begins with a meeting between the men from Stockholm and russian maffia in Moskva!!
It was the interval act for Melodifestivalen, so it never was an entry.
It had'nt go to the ESC 2009 because of too many people! But it would have won the ESC 2009!
It's so iconic
This performance should have been a valid contender for Sweden instead of the other crap artists LOL also it would give the russians the finger :). Ive heard though though that common russian people that seen it just laugh at it.
You missed the context of ESC was hosted in Russia 2009 😅
No subtitles needed, cause they sing gibberish :D
Bro has good pause game
Fun fact: The singer of Sweden's entry in 2009, Malena Ernman, is Greta Thunberg's mother!
Damn, that song rocks.
The bear is a symbol of Russia. Strong and terrifying. Grotesco brings it on stage in chains and makes it dance silly. Of course Russia will be angry. Dictatorships are not known for taking a joke.
They used to keep bears and make them dance in Russia, that's what they're getting at.
Take a look at Grotescos
Blanda Upp. 😊
I knew Dwayne would pick up on the dissing 😅 I'll always love this song, despite the global political climate
Most of the chorus is fake Russian so Swedes don't understand more of it than your average English speaker. The parts that do matter are less fake and say "Nazdrovye, Lenin!" which translates to "Cheers Lenin!" (as in what you say before downing a drink), and "Dasvidanya, Putin!", which translates to "Goodbye Putin!"
And yeah, it's a shameless parody of clichés/prejudice about Russia (the bear is the Russian Bear), some hailing back from Soviet times, like the military choir and the very much genuine first couple of lines of the Soviet national anthem in there. It also parodies Eurodisco in general and that blond guy in a weird haircut is clearly supposed to be German.
As far as having this as our entry in the 2009 ESC? Too political I think with the mentions of Lenin and Putin, and taking those out would have diminished it. Although it would have been fun since the reason Grotesco created this (master)piece in the first place was that the ESC that year was to be held in Moscow.
Grotesco is not a "he", by the way, it's a group consisting of about a dozen people and that number has been pretty stable over the years.
När kommer du till Sverige? Ja. Jag vet att det skrivet på svenska.jobbet är ert att översätta 💖💖💖💖
Very soon, I’m hoping this year 😊
4:48 The Bear is a symbol of Russian identity and stoicism, at least in their own eyes.
It made the russians so upset that they did from what i have heard a similar thing about swedish stereotypes, no one saw it in Sweden 😆
Much of the lyric is in Russian. They are singing "Dasvidaniya Putin" wich means Goodbye Putin. He didn´t take kindly to that and the use of Russian symbols and it caused a diplomatic incident.
2009 is imo actually interesting from a couple different views.
Georgia's song was dq for being to political(what is wrong with 'we don't wanna put in'? With also song lyric we just wanna shoot him?)
The opening music was t.a.t.u together with red army choir singing not gonna get us. With jetfighters and tanks on the stage.
Eurovision was held in Russia 2009 😅 don’t think we would have won 🙈
Reading back, this is what I could find. It was meant as a stereotype of how Swedes see Russia by the comedy group Grotesco (at least that's what they SAID). The Russian ambassador in Sweden had a complete meltdown, said it was insanely stereotyping of Russia and Russians and that Grotesco should be in a mental facility, among other things. A reporter from Sweden asked/showed the clip to Russians in Russia and all of them thought it was really funny and that they liked the song. A producer apologized and sent flowers to the Russian embassy. In an absolutely hilarious move SVT, Swedish National Television then rescinded the apology.
I remember a bunch of bonkers stuff like someone in the group being advised by the National Security Agency that there was a threat against them from Russia and their response was to go outside the Russian embassy to play the song. Unfortunately I couldn't find any evidence of that, so it could be be a false memory.
The whole song was ment as a way to laugh at how Putin gets angry about small thing.
It all started in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia. Next year Georgia naturaly sent a anti Putin song to ESC which funny enough was supposed to be in Russia. Russia then disqualified Georgias entry.
Russia made a answear to Grotescos song tingaling. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/cyPsqsH8I4M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4QD4OHXXf_FlZT5c
Its the same guys who did "bögarnas fel"
Given that 2009 ESC was held in russia (which is why they made a song about russia to begin with) I´m not sure they would have goten out alive considering how angry the russians were.
The russian made a song back about sweden
you have a link of that one?
would be fun to see it

Tingeling (Hey!)
Sweden will host Eurovision this year. I wonder what they will entertain us with this year?
I’m looking forward to covering the Melodifestivalan and see who they will pick to represent 🎉
This should be Ukraine's new National Anthem, Tingeling.....with the best sentence in the the song that is ""Tingeling, Tingeling, Dasvidaniya Putiin..." :-)
in sweden this hapen. hahaha SWEDEN ROCK
this song was an act. Not a in the competiton. Its lot of diffrent styles for this song. He tried all typs to get the ultimate version for it.
Russia is big sceary bear and they have dancing bears in cirkus.
They should have entered in 2022.
🤣🤣remember that song 2009
Check out Swedishness next 👍
Dasvidaniya Putin! We all hoped it was forever! But the bastard came back (well actually he never left ofc, it was all for show)... When Ukraine (with western support ofc) takes back it's country from the clutches of Putin maybe this will be played at the discos!
I don’t know if it is accually russian or just gibberish they sing in but it is not Swedish for the most part😄
its a mix of both ;)
It's mostly just english and the word Tingeling repeated all the time, at one point there is sometimes swedish aswell but sung in attemt of doing russian accent. It's not gibberish!
dasvadania putin means goodbye putin. guess that was the reason for the complaints more thean the dancing bear :D
