Wannadies – You And Me Song

More about Wannadies

The Wannadies, a Swedish alternative rock band, formed in the small town of Skellefteå in 1988. Initially comprised of Pär Wiksten (vocals, guitar), Christina Bergmark (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Schönfeldt (guitar) along with his brother Fredrik Schönfeldt (bass), and Gunnar Karlsson (drums), the band quickly made a name for themselves with their catchy melodies and sharp lyrics. Their early work, characterized by a raw and energetic sound, caught the attention of indie music fans across Sweden. The release of their self-titled debut album in 1990 and its follow-up, 'Aquanautic', helped solidify their presence in the Swedish music scene. However, it was their third album, 'Be a Girl' (1994), featuring the hit single 'You and Me Song', that catapulted The Wannadies to international fame. This track, with its infectious chorus and upbeat tempo, became a staple of 1990s pop music, featuring in films, commercials, and radio playlists around the globe. The band continued to release successful albums, including 'Bagsy Me' (1996) and 'Yeah' (1999), which saw them experimenting with their sound while maintaining their pop sensibilities. Despite changes in the music industry and shifts in popular taste, The Wannadies maintained a loyal fan base and continued to tour and record into the early 2000s. Their influence on the indie pop/rock scene, particularly during the 1990s, remains undeniable, with 'You and Me Song' enduring as a beloved classic.
