Främling (song)

"Främling" ("Stranger"), written by Lasse Holm and Monica Forsberg and arranged by Lennart Sjöholm, was the song performed by the 16-year-old Carola Häggkvist which won the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1983.

At the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 in Munich in the former West Germany the song finished third. It was performed fourth on the night, after the United Kingdom's song "I'm Never Giving Up" by Sweet Dreams, and before Italy's entry "Per Lucia" by Riccardo Fogli.

Främling as best reached a 5th place at the Swedish singles charts.

Trivia

Kikki Danielsson was first asked to sing "Främling", but instead she chose "Varför är kärleken röd?", which finished second in the Swedish Melodifestivalen that year.

Främling was also written with text versions in German, Dutch and English as, respectively, "Fremder", "Je ogen hebben geen geheimen" and "Love isn't Love".

Cover versions

The Swedish heavy metal group Black Ingvars covered "Främling" on their 1998 album Schlager Metal.

Finnish singer Meiju Suvas covered the song in Finnish, called "Muukalainen" (like Främling, also translates as "stranger").

Twin

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they can develop from just one zygote that will then split and form two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal"), meaning that they can develop from two different eggs; each are fertilized by separate sperm cells.

In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.

Statistics

The twin birth rate in the United States rose 76% from 1980 through 2009, from 18.9 to 33.3 per 1,000 births. The Yoruba have the highest rate of twinning in the world, at 45–50 twin sets (or 90–100 twins) per 1,000 live births, possibly because of high consumption of a specific type of yam containing a natural phytoestrogen which may stimulate the ovaries to release an egg from each side.

In Central Africa there are 18–30 twin sets (or 36–60 twins) per 1,000 live births. In Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, the lowest rates are found; only 6 to 9 twin sets per 1,000 live births. North America and Europe have intermediate rates of 9 to 16 twin sets per 1,000 live births.

Twin (production team)

Twin (sometimes written as TWIN) is a Swedish record production and songwriting team, consisting of Niclas Molinder and Joacim Persson, who are working in the genres of pop, R&B and rock.
