Details

Description

Du kan få bli min kamrat (You can be my comrade) by Lazze Ohlyz is a funny Swedish communist love song about the difficulties of finding a partner when you love your party so much. A little treat to all of you for Valentine's Day!

The band Lazze Ohlyz plays dansband, a hard-to-define Swedish genre that can sound a bit like country music, but is played by live bands to an audience dancing foxtrot, bugg or other social dances. The band themselves call their genre "prugg", a combination of the left-wing music genre progg and bugg.

The band name is taken from Lars "Lasse" Ohly, leader of the Left Party 2004-2012. The Zs were added as a reference to a habit among "real" dansbands to add Zs to their names to spice them up a bit.

"Du kan få bli min kamrat" was included on the album Dans och klasskamp i parken from 2006 as well as on the compilation album Samma gamla goa låtar released in 2010.
