Universal Poplab ft. Håkan Hellström - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful
As well as being the greatest-named band in pop, Universal Poplab are also Swedish and fantastically ace. This is the mainstream-electropop version of a Morrissey hit that has got them noticed most so far, but they have many other equally fabulous songs, my personal favourites being Bedhead and Dice Roller from their self-titled debut album. The band is made up of flamboyant singer Christer (of Swedish radio P3 fame) and beautiful producer Paul (long-haired one in the photo), and this song features the gorgeous Swedish pop star and Christer's childhood friend Håkan Hellström.
