YMMV / Agnetha Fältskog

Go To

  • Signature Song: To Swedes of a certain age, it’s "Jag var så kär".
  • Values Dissonance:
    • In 1969, she released a single entitled "Zigenarvän" ("Romani Friend") about attending a Romani wedding and falling in love with the bride's brother. Unfortunately, the single's release was right in the middle of a heated, nationwide debate about Romani and many people saw it as capitalising on the controversy. Also, the song title actually doesn't mean "Romani Wedding", but actually a word seen by Romani as a serious racial slur. Starts with "G".
    • Then there's "Gulleplutt". While the Swedish title of the song is not problematic (basically a pet name), its English title, "Golliwog", certainly is.
