My debut as vocalist songstar in Swedish dansband

I have debuted as vocalist on national broadcast television.

In the latest Kometkameratene episode, the Agent is sent to earth to do research on age and wrinkles. Why do humans grow old? He is beamed down to a home for the elderly, where they are dancing and having a great time. The Agent boldly checks for wrinkles everywhere, as illustrated.

The producers had originally synced the scene with some great Swedish Dansband music, but shit happened and it turned out problematic to clear sync rights. So they asked me to write something to replace it on short notice, and happily I wrote my very first Swedish Dansband track, and for the first time in my life, performed vocals.

You can watch the episode here (music in the background starts around 05:40), but the music is faint in the background. Luckily, enjoy high definition embed:

My swedish is kind of crap. But thankfully, my singing is worse. I did some Melodyne formant edits to make it deeper and less geek-squeaky. 

I also wrote some other instrumental music for various other dance scenes throughout the episode. The Kometkameratene main theme is ghosted in all of them.

My debut as a singer is as a Swedish Dansband lead singer at a home for the elderly in a sci-fi puppet show where they research wrinkles. Awesome.

Haha supergreat. I very mutch loled! I think you hae nailed the almost old guy sitting there with a rolandkeyboard with his midiaccokomp. Only thing really missing from that sound was that you drums was to good, but the organ really really made up for it :D
