Dancing deoderants

In Sweden the "Eurovision song contest" is as big as "X factor" or "American Idol", or no actually it is the lead up TO the Eurovision that is big. Who will represent Sweden this year?
When I lived in Sweden this competition was a Saturday night in February (normally) 10-12 songs and then a jury voted for the songs they liked the most.
Things have however changed, and nowadays it consists of competitions all over Sweden and I THINK the people will phone in and vote for their favourite...But don't quote me on that..I might be wrong.
This year Sweden is being represented by a profesional opera singer, who sings a song with a "rock beat" but still in her "opera voice".
It sounds better than how Im describing it...

Every Monday for the next four weeks leading up to Eurovision they are showing all the songs from the countries and at some point there will be a semi finale (I don't know how this all works..) to decide who will actually compete in the big Eurovision songcontest finale. (Since Europe now is so big, with countries within countries, that used to be one country but are now devided into 14 countries...every country in Europe cant compete, hence the quater finale and semi finale...)

So tonight was the second "show" or "episode" whatever you want to call it and they finished off with playing the song that represented (and WON!!) Sweden in 1982.
The presenter said: "Ok so here they are the dancing deoderants"
Dancing deoderants?
Must remember to tell my dad that...bet he will find it just as funny as "Break your foot you Danish bastard"

I will leave you with the dancing deoderants, judge for yourself...
And sorry, could only find the Swedish version, so if you dont speak Swedish, just watch them dance and listen to the music, dont concentrate on the fact that you cant understand what they are singing.
