In 2010 Bobbysocks celebrated their 25th anniversary by released a compilation album and performing several concerts.
La De Swinge
Bobbysocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Og jeg våkner opp og spör meg hva som skjer
Er det bare dröm og fantasier
Når jeg föler at det swinger mer og mer
La det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Åh hi åh la det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La musikken gå la rytmen aldri stanse
Kan du kjenne at du lever her og nå
Föler du hvor gjerne du vil danse
Å å å og hörer du at hjertet slår og slår
La det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Åh hi åh la det swinge la det rock'n'roll
Duran du duran du duran du duran
Du duran du duran du duran duran
Föler du hvor gjerne du vil danse
Hörer du at hjertet slår og slår og slår
La det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Åh hi åh la det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La det swinge la det rock'n'roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Åh hi åh la det swinge la det rock'n
Swinge la det rolling
Swinge la det rock'n'roll
The lyrics of Bobbysocks’s “La De Swinge” describe the feeling of being transported back to a bygone era by the sound of old melodies on the radio. The singer wonders if what they’re experiencing is just a dream, but they can’t deny the irresistible swing in the music that makes them want to dance and lose all control. The repeated refrain urges listeners to let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll, and let the rhythm never stop.
The song is a celebration of the joy of dance and the thrill of being swept away by music. It encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and surrender to the beat, allowing themselves to feel truly alive in the moment. The use of the phrase “la de swinge” and the nonsensical lyrics like “duran du duran” add to the playful, carefree tone of the song.
Overall, “La De Swinge” is a tribute to the vintage sounds of swing and rock ‘n’ roll, and a reminder of the timeless power of music to move and inspire us.
