New recording by Son of a Plumber
Written by tevensso on November 28, 2007 to Per Gessle.
STOCKHOLM (Updated) - 
Son of a Plumber has, together with Per Gessle, recorded the new theme song for Swedish TV program "Boston Tea Party." "Boston Tea Party" is a show about finding strange things out, like how human flesh tastes like… "Many will see this as a new chapter of Per Gessle's musical career. I can't place this tune in a genre, but it sounds like how it would look when riding a limo through New York way too fast," says Fredrik Wikingsson, one of the show's two hosts.
The tune is called "Shopping With Mother" and will be premiered in the season finale of the show at the end of November. What's even better is that the tune will be released as a double A-sided single together with two remixes by Voz Vibrante. Voz Vibrante is a pseudonym for Erik Hjärpe, from the band Damn!, you can find some of his work at MySpace. Voz has remixed "Shopping With Mother" in two different versions - the Voz Vibrante remix and the Mother's Dub by Voz Vibrante.
Voz's style of music is fast fusion and electric funk, while the tune itself can be described best as a cross between a '60s Bond theme with some Star Trek and general '60s pop in it. Does it sound crazy? It is.
The double A-sided single will be released November 28, with the slightly edited version of "Pratar med min müsli" from Per's hit album "En händig man" as the other A-side, a little later than expected, but now released to the public.
Update: Per tells us there will be a video for "Shopping with Mother," directed by Jens Jansson!

This is so fantanstic! Such a surprise. After the Release of “Jag skulle vilja...” as a digital release, i thought per won´t release CD-Singel´s anymore. But now everything has changed. Now I´m a really happy man, going straight to weekend.
Hey, what about a snippet?
Maybe TEV got something for us.
Cheers

WOW! How cool! Merging two parts of his career together!! YAY!!
Just had a thought - maybe this is the work which Per meant he was doing with SOAP, no new album, just this one song? I remember that when Per released SOAP he said that it would be very difficult to recreate the atmosphere again. Why would he try to recreate a whole album again? Just my thoughts!
Another comment - is this an instrumental? I’ve noticed on the picture that is says music by Per Gessle and no mention of lyrics??

I knew it...
though, I thought Per would say something like “hey here’s the theme song for Boston Tea Party. And btw... you’ll find it on my new album that’s out soon.” Or something like that anyway. But a single is always a single... and with “Musli” as the 2:nd A -side it’s really good. Just wich “Musli” would have gotten a single release of it’s own.

Promising... indeed! Another RoadTrip anthem, I can tell!

According to ’Att vara Per Gessle’ - ’Shopping with mother’ is one of left-overs from Have a nice day album, as far as I remember.

If you read the tracklist, “Pratar med min müsli” will be the first track on the CD, and “Shopping with mother” is the tracks 2 to 4. It will be sort of a B-side (in 3 versions), and it’s probably an instrumental. As someone stated above, there’s no credits for the lyrics.

And people will goes like: “Hey, Per recorded some new single with somebody called Son Of A Plumber. Do you know that guy someone?” :-D

Mmmmm sounds interesting if not a little confusing, but im not right bright to begin with lol.
daniel_alv said on November 9, 2007 18:02:
Really cool cover. One side so much SOAP and the other so much Per. Really great!
EDIT: Shopping with mother was a cool title that Per had in his list of cool titles that he wanted to make a song of. (Att Vara Per Gessle, page 220)

Hmmm, i don’t understand how it can be PG feat. SOAP, but it sounds very interesting.
I like your way of thinking Paul.

Rousseau said on November 11, 2007 11:51:
Hej RJ1976!
Instrumentals are a vaste of CD Space???? So guitar solos or intros are waste, too??? You must be kiddin´ ! You seem to me, like a blind man talking about coloures!
RJ1976 said on November 11, 2007 11:59:
@Rousseau... Hehh ? ... You can’t compare that ... Anyway. My oppinion. Go flame someone else :-) ... Im not going down to your level...
daniel_alv said on November 11, 2007 12:36:
Accually Per (Gyllene Tider) mixed swedish and english on “Halmstads Pärlor”.
ChrisWilliams said on November 11, 2007 17:45:
Rousseau wasn’t “flaming” (now there’s a word we need to see less of around here), he’s just saying he doesn’t agree with you.
CAN ALL ROXETTE FANS PLEASE CALM DOWN. BREATHE THE LOVE.

RJ1976 said on November 11, 2007 18:53:

I like the Per Gessle feat. SOAP.. it’s just so funny!
Per featuring himself, or a side of himself.. Per’s humour can be just great sometimes.
