“Django guitar, windy street swing; music for both art directors and your mom” is how MOVITS! describe their sound. Well-known in Sweden but unheard of elsewhere, they fold together elements of 1930s big band swing, roma swing and rhythm & blues, then drop hiphop vocals on top for some serious energetic firepower. -Aurgasm
Fast tvärtom
Movits! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eller frеn att rцsta pе det blе partiet
Дr dдremot sе clean nдr ja' dricker mitt vin
Att Stureplanskidsen vill kцpa min stil
Dom sдger det дr inte sant
Tvдrtom, ja' tycker det дr intressant
Att ni vill va' som mig men inte kan
Och ja' vill va' som er, fast inte alls
Har varken pappas bцrs eller herrgеrd
Men din mamma hon vill ha mig som svдrson
Fцr att ja' gillar Lasse Dahlqvist o skдrgеrn
Sjunger Bellman ute in trдdgеrn
Fцr gammelmormor inne pе еlderdomshem
Fцr uteliggare som jag kдnner igen
Pе krogrundan fцr mig sjдlv nдr ja' vinglar hem
Dе дr det tvдrtemot
Jeb eller brorsan eller George Bush
Дr typ som Errol Flynn I en ny version
Och din moster vill betala mig med kontokort
Det дr inte klokt!
Hur det kan gе sе snabbt
Det borde vara tvдrtom men fцr en tusenlapp
Sе blir ja' kanske din, fцrusatt
Att du har pеsen pе huvudet och betalar svart
Ja nunnorna vill ha mig
Trots att ja' missa' nattvarden
Kors I taket, hцr du Gud fader
Det mеste vara min lekamen
Som attraherar dessa damer
Och fеr dem att vilja byta partner
Pе en gеng
Ja det дr galet
Det hдr bцrjan pе lеten fast tvдrtom
The lyrics to Movits!'s song Fast tvärtom are a commentary on the ironic nature of life, where things often turn out opposite of what we expect. The song opens with a reference to Kristina Lugn, a Swedish author known for her dark humor, who is either high on morphine or has just voted for a conservative political party. However, the singer is "so clean" when he drinks his wine that the wealthy kids of Stureplan (a posh Stockholm neighborhood) want to emulate him.
The singer goes on to say that he finds it interesting that people want to be like him, but he also wants to be like them, just in the opposite way. He then talks about how he doesn't have his dad's money or a mansion, but still manages to attract attention from women who want him as a son-in-law because he likes Lasse Dahlqvist (a Swedish country singer) and the archipelago.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of things being opposite of what we expect, as the singer comments on how Jeb Bush or his brother George, and even Errol Flynn (an old Hollywood actor) are like ordinary people in a new version of reality. The most absurd example of this idea is when the singer says that someone's aunt wants to pay him with her credit card.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a playful take on the idea that life is often ironic, and things don't always turn out the way we expect.
