Modern Talking on ZTV-Nytt (2)

1 April 1999, MT were in Sweden promoting "Alone - The 8th Album" and came up with an April Fool's joke when being interviewed for ZTV-Nytt (entertainment news). Why not release "Brother Louie" in Swedish? ;)

TRANSCRIPT (with translations):

Presenter: [voiceover, trailer] In ZTV News Thursday: Modern Talking sing a classic in Swedish.

Presenter: ZTV News can reveal today that the legendary 80:es band Modern Talking will do yet another version of their old hit "Brother Louie". As a tribute to all their Swedish fans, this song will be released in Swedish in about a month's time.

Thomas: This is, you know, was very special, because its not so easy to sing in Swedish. Umm ... but we were in the studio and we did a special version ... for ... Sweden. And, umm...

Dieter: For all the reindeer.

[they laugh]

Thomas: They have people here living here! [laugh] So we are very ... umm ... you know, were looking forward, and hopefully you'll like it, and we will be number one with the Swedish version. Its the first, er, song ever which comes from Modern Talking not in English.

Kajsa: And I heard it's "Brother Louie Louie Louie" which is "Broder Louie Louie Louie" in Swedish.

[they laugh]

Thomas: Yeah, this was the easy part! To sing "Broder Louie Louie Louie", you know, but the rest, oh my God! It was difficult!
