Johan Johansson, Mats Nilsson and Pekka Kangas had a band called "Ingenting" (Swedish for "nothing"). Their first and only gig was at Österholmsskolan in Skärholmen. The autumn -77 most of the band members went to Skärholmens Gymnasium and if you worked with a project, you wouldn't have to go to all the lessons, like a band. "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was started and due to that a lot of people didn't want to go to the lessons, the band got a lot of members. After a chaotic gig in the aula in Skärholmens Gymnasium with 15 band members, of which 5 were singers, the project "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was over, but the singers Steppan and Alonzo, drummer Johan Johansson and bassist Matte Nilsson liked playing in a band and the became the only constant members of "KSMB". Now also a new band name was taken, "Kurt-Sunes med Berit".
Esteban Guiance [aka Steppan] (vocals, 1978-82), Mikael Alonzo (vocals, 1978-81), Johan Johansson (drums, guitar, 1978-81), Mats Nilsson (bass, 1978-80), Jonny Sylvan (guitar, 1978-80), Peter Sjölander [aka Ampull] (guitar, 1980-82), Lars Jonson [aka Guld-Lars] (guitar, 1980-82), Stefan Sundström (guitar, 1980), Lasse Carlsson (bass, 1980-81), Magnus Ulvesjö (bass, 1981-82), Juan Moya Avila (vocals, 1978), Pekka Kangas (vocals, 1978), Leif Liljegren [aka Lillen] (guitar, 1978), Mikael Damicolas (guitar, 1978), Jonny Sylvan (guitar, 1978), Seppi (drums, 1978), Lasse Lundbom (drums, 1978), Ulf Broxvall (drums, 1978)

Nдr jag gеr ner fцr trottoaren
Jag har sцkt hela veckan ut, och nu e veckan nдstan slut
Och jag har hittat alla svaren
Allting verkar sе sjдlvklart, det finns ju bara lycka
Jag gеr in I den дndlцsa glдdjen ikvдll
Glдdjen den sprudlarе vдggarna tycks jubla I min nattliga vandring
Har med en gеng fеtt en handling
Att rgnet strilar ner I gatan rцr mig inte I ryggen
Jag gеr in I den дndlцsa glдdjen ikvдll
Alla grubblerier och sorger som jag hade dе
Dom e borta, dom e borta!
Tankar som jag tдnkte dе, avstеnd som jag skulle gе
Dom e korta, dom e korta!
Nu ska jag hitta dig jag letat efter hela mitt liv
Jag gеr in I den дndlцsa glдdjen ikvдll
Men dagarna дr lеnga och nдtterna tar slut
Och nдr jag vaknar upp pе morron dе дr allting som fцrut
Pе vдg till jobet, fast fцrsenad, gеr jag lеngsamt nedfцr gatan
Ooch alla hus I staden, dom stеr I min vдg
Och alla stenarna pе gatan verkar hata mina steg
Tдnk om man vore lеngt, lеngt borta - lеngt, lеngt borta
Mеnen den lyser е stjдrnorna dom glittrar sе
Nдr jag gеr ner fцr trottoaren
Jag har sцkt hela veckan ut, och nu e veckan nдstan slut
Och jag har hittat alla svaren
Allting verkar sе sjдlvklart, det finns ju bara lycka
Jag gеr in I den дndlцsa glдdjen ikvдll
The lyrics to KSMB's song "Polsk zchlager" describe the feeling of being consumed by joy and elation, to the point where all worries and troubles seem to have disappeared. The singer describes walking down the street at night, searching for something, possibly love or happiness, and feeling like they have found all the answers they were looking for. The joy they feel is so overwhelming that they are not even nervous or anxious, and even the rain does not bother them. They feel like everything is clear and simple, and they are consumed by a "boundless joy."
However, the lyrics also suggest that this feeling of joy is fleeting and temporary. The next day, when the singer wakes up and goes to work, everything seems to have gone back to normal. The buildings and streets of the city feel like they are standing in their way, and even the stones on the ground seem to hate their steps. The singer longs to be far away, to escape the mundane realities of everyday life and return to the "boundless joy" they felt the previous night.
Overall, the lyrics to "Polsk zchlager" capture the fleeting nature of happiness, and the way in which we can sometimes be consumed by joy one moment, only to have it slip away the next.

Blir så glad när jag hör denna låten. Var min o min BBF s favolåt när den kom❤️🙏❤️
Vi gick på Lundsbergs internat i I Värmland och musiken och KSMB var en underbar kontrast till skoluniform och morgonbön och strikta rutiner.
Sorgligt nog dog hon av en överdos bara några år senare.. RIP Sabina ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😢❤️❤️❤️😢 Saknar dig enormt…

Älskar den här gamla klassikern med KSMB från 1981. Får mig på gott humör. ;)
@andersmberg9183
Gott humör??? Och du har hört texten???
@joakimandersson5932
Underbara och härliga låtar från min ungdom får mig alltid på gott humör. Tror att det kallas nostalgi. ;)
@andersmberg9183
Ja ,det gör väl det..... :-) För mig är låten en svår påminnelse om tillvarons värsta omständigheter....
Tänk så olika man kan minnas skeenden i livet.....
@joakimandersson5932
Tror nog att det beror på att vi helt enkelt inte har samma minnen. Inte att vi minns dom olika. Har också låtar som jag förknippar med tråkiga minnen i mitt liv. Men den här låten är inte en av dom.
