Miss Decibel (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss Decibel, written by Lasse Holm and Gert Lengstrand, is a song in Swedish, which finished 2nd at the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1978. It was performed by the Swedish "dansband" Wizex, back then including Kikki Danielsson as lead vocal singer, together with Lasse Holm.
Björn Skifs won that year's Melodifestivalen with the song "Det blir alltid värre framåt natten".
The single peaked at #10 at the Swedish singles chart. The song was also at Svensktoppen for eleven weeks during the period April 16-June 25, 1978, peaking at #2.
The song was covered by Eva Rydberg later in 1978, on her album "Sång á la Rydberg". In 1979, musician Nils Dacke recorded the song for his album "Nils Dacke spelar partyorgel".
[edit] Trivia
- The song text is about a little singing/screaming child. Instead of being angry, the parents see the child's screaming abilities as an opportunity to become a pop/rock star in the future.
- The song ends with English, repeating the words "Decibel, you gonna be a star".
