Army of Lovers featured
Alexander Bard (1987-2001, 2013), Jean-Pierre Barda (1987-2001, 2013), La Camilla (1987-1991, 1996, 2001, Jan-March 2013), Michaela Dornonville De La Cour (1991-1995),
Dominika Peczynski (1992-1996, 2001, March 2013).
Debut single 'When The Night Is Cold' was released in 1988. This song was not to be on debut album 'Disco Extravaganza' released in 1990 (re-named 'Army of Lovers when released in USA & UK in 1991). This was followed by the album 'Massive Luxury Overdose' (1991). La Camilla left the band and released a single 'I Am Not In The Mood For Lovers'. The Group replaced La Camilla with Michaela De La Cour, they re-released 'Massive Luxury Overdose' with extra tracks & with De La Cour on the new album artwork.
In 1992 the band came a four piece when Dominika joined the group and they recorded 'Hasta Manana' for the Abba tribute album.
Albums 'The Gods of Earth and Heaven' (1993) and 'Glory, Glamour & Gold'(1994) followed. The group dis-banded at the end of 1995. They re-formed to release 'Les Greatest Hits' in 1996, De La Cour did not want to be in the group anymore so original member La Camilla was asked back and she returned to record 4 new songs with the group. The Group split again in 1996.
In 2001 Army of Lovers reformed again (again with La Camilla) to release another Greatest Hits album (this time with 3 new tracks - all cover versions of other artist songs). The 2001 album was called 'Le Grand Docu-soap'.
Alexander Bard went on to be in BWO (Bodies Without Organs) and later in Gravitonas
In 2013 Army of Lovers was reformed once again in Melodifestivalen. The Swedish pre selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Rockin’ the ride"
12 years after their last compilation album "Le Grand Docu-Soap", the reunited Swedish theatro-pop group releases a brand new greatest hits collection, plus 4 brand new songs ("Rockin' the ride", "Crashing down", "Signed on my tattoo" and "Tragedy"). Army of Lovers have always been special, controversial, colourful and creative, mainly due to their image and witty pop songs.
Their name alludes to a documentary Armee der Liebenden oder Revolte der Perversen (Army of Lovers or Revolution of the Perverts) about Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Theban Band.

The Ballad Of Marie Curie
Army of Lovers Lyrics
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
The year 1903 in late September
A pavilion in Peczynska province
Let's prepare a voyage for December
We read the chemistry like poems
Sound of the atoms cracking
Signs in the radium tracking
Our goddess Marie Curie
Marie Curie
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
In June the 12th 1911
My children radium and polonium
I have dinner with Strindberg in blue heaven
Pierre's gone to x-ray pandemonium
From the laboratory of Eden
To the monarchy of Sweden
The laureate Marie Curie
Marie Curie
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
Sound of the atoms cracking
Signs in the radium tracking
Our goddess Marie Curie
Marie Curie
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
A pavilion in Peczynska province
Let's prepare a voyage for December
We read the chemistry like poems
Sound of the atoms cracking
Signs in the radium tracking
Our goddess Marie Curie
Marie Curie
A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor

“We read the chemistry like poems”.. So much romantic!.. I love it..
Alexander Persch
She truly is now where the gods live, in 1995 her remains where buried at the Pantheon in Paris, along with her beloved husband Pierre. And her remains are still radioactive ☢. Sad but in a way fitting.
Max Midas
Прекрасная анимация!
Chris Ritter
Why doesn't anyone comment on this beatiful song? Maybe because it's radioactive??
