It’s Franska flickan. The french girl. The band quit 2016 but just announced that they will play another 6 concerts in march next year and they sold 230 000 tickets in like 30 min. They could have sold so much more. We love them here in the nordics
I'm a big fan of a-ha, and after rediscovering them a few years ago I had a hard time finding other artists who gave me some of the same enthusiasm. It didn't happen until Kent was recommended to me in a comment by another a-ha fan. I started listening to them and was not disappointed. They have something about them that hits me at home, not only in the music, but also in the lyrics. I like them very much, but of course not as much as a-ha.
Some years ago Kent won the band of the year award like 10 years straight. They stopped playing together a couple of years ago. But have a 4 stop reunion tour this spring. Of course sold out in minutes
In sweden, FF gererally mean FörädraFritt (No Parents). When young people have the house to themselves without their parents, it's FF. But I don't think that is what the FF in the song means.
Not that it is the reason for Kent to colab with a French artist but one correlation between Sweden and France is that our current royal family was recruited from France. When the then King of Sweden, Karl August, died in 1810 there where no viable heir to the throne and since Napoleon I was very popular among Swedish military his most famous Marshal, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, was offered the throne of Sweden. He was crowned in 1818 as Karl XIV Johan and since then house Bernadotte has been the royal line in Sweden.
What FF means seems a bit mysterious, I did some searches, in an interview they answered that it is related to French-something (perhaps Franska Flickan = French girl). Though, the female is singing in Basque which is technically not French - I guess. If someone else found what FF actually means with their song title, let us know.
Scandinavias biggest rock band easily. So sad they have quit, this song is OK, but there are a lot better ones than this 😍👌 please do more 😊 I have always thought FF means "Fy faen" as in god d** it. Huge fan here, as most people my age 😍 Väpen och ammunisjon means weapon and ammunition 🔫
Love Kent. Been to concert in Trondheim, Norway back in 2001-2004(cant remember the year), and to be honest it was so disappointing. Not because of Kent and their performance, they were great, but because of the venue they played in. New arena at the time that didnt suit any good live bands except for parties like «i love the 90s, 80s» that were all playback. . But the Kent concert was one of many that gave the indoor arena a bad rep. Didnt do them justice at all.

When did they reveal that? I know that jocke said on the kent forum like 20 years ago that it stood for "french fuckers"

Its my fav band. Seen them live 14 times since i got their first album when i was 12.
What is sung in French in this song has been interpreted by many Swedes as "Where the walrus lives" (Där valrossen bor) 🤣
Norwegian and seen them 4 times included there farewell concert together with wife🇳🇴😄

Ive always thought it means Fast Forward, and is a song about the society getting faster and we dont take time to enjoy it anymore.
This is the worst Kent song of all time.
