MP3: Parken - Jag har varit vilsen, Lisa
I wasn't all that impressed by Parken's first single "Åt helvete med himlen", though I understand it was considered to be somewhat of an indie club hit earlier this year. I don't doubt its appeal among that particular social subset, I'm just not feeling it. Parken's new single "Jag har varit vilsen, Lisa" however, is great and totally justifies all hype. It's got bounce! And a far, far catchier refrain. I'd even say it's good enough to forgive a lapfull of beer. It's even more impressive when you consider that this came from someone in The Chrysler. Who knew he had it in him?
