(1) Rally was a Swedish humor radio show, aired on Sveriges Radio P3.
The show consisted of comic remixes of various famous songs, some dialogues and such.
Frequently occurring episodes were, among others, various parodies of the gaming show "Bingolotto", "Gundeman & Pekka" which is a parody of Swedish skiing champion Gunde Svan and a Finnish-Swedish friend of his, "Doggy Bag" - a parody of rappers (Swedish in perticular),
Stefan Livh was the show host, but lots of people were involved.
Rally was cancelled in late 2004 simply because all good things must come to an end, gathered again in early 2005 to do a "best of"-show, and has since not been heard from.
(2) Rally is a newly formed Japanese rock band from Japan. It features members and former members from 3 of the country's biggest rock bands: GLAY, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant and The Mad Capsule Markets. So far they have only recorded and released one song (a cover of BUCK-TICK's song "悪の華" to a tribute album "PARADE ~RESPECTIVE TRACKS OF BUCK-TICK~" that was released in 2005). The exact aim and future of the band is unclear.
(3) Rally's Bio
Formed in a damp walled cellar under a disused flower mill in Carluke, South Lanarkshire. Four degenerates regresed into the power trio that became RALLY. A string of sucessive hits from the debut album "A Long Way To Go" seen them rise high on the alternative MP3.COM charts with several back to back number 1's and a string of top 10 hits for the latter part of the '90s.
Almost 10 years later, through the miracles of modern technology,RALLY have reformed into a killer 4 piece band. Stay tuned for the overly awaited and soon to be released second, and aptly titled album "From The Ashes".

The song ABC by Rally is a playful exploration of various acronyms, with each line featuring a different set of initials and a brief description of their meaning. Some of the acronyms are associated with Swedish political parties or organizations, such as ABF (the education association affiliated with the Social Democrats) and CUF (the youth organization of the Center Party), while others are more international, such as WHO (the World Health Organization) and the KGB (the Soviet Union's secret police). Several lines feature acronyms associated with particular geographical regions, such as PKK (a Kurdish political organization) and the NHL (National Hockey League, where Foppa - likely a reference to Swedish hockey player Peter Forsberg - is the king).
It's difficult to discern any particular overarching narrative or message in the song, as it seems to be more a collection of random associations than anything else. That being said, it's clear that the song is intended to be light-hearted and humorous, with some of the acronyms skewing towards the absurd (such as LSD, which is described as "dangerous to swallow") or the risqué (such as VVS, which is defined as "cleaning out the anal area"). The final line, "Ska vi ta och kanske sluta nu då? Jävla skit!" (Should we go ahead and stop now then? Damn it!), adds to the overall air of irreverence and playfulness.
