Allsång på Skansen = Sing-a-Long at Skansen

Benny Anderssons Orkester appeared in the sixth episode of that year's Allsång på Skansen hosted by Anders Lundin.

They performed/accompanied:

  1. Helen Sjöholm - Du är min man 
  2. Helen Sjöholm - Det är vi ändå (It's Still Us)
  3. Kalle Moraeus - Tangokavalieren - in a sing-a-long
  4. Tommy Körberg - Drommen om Elin - in a sing-a-long
  5. Bättre och bättre dag för dag

Benny and Helen were interviewed by the host Anders and Benny revealed he was a regular listener of Svensktoppen. Benny was also asked about plans for Kristina från Duvemåla. When asked if they would call it Kristina From Sweden he replied they would simply call it Kristina. He also said that they were looking for somebody really good to take the part of Kristina (with Helen Sjöholm standing right next to him!).

After the cameras stopped rolling, they also performed Med käckhet fräckhet och täckhet (with Benny singing a line) and Why Did It Have To Be Me? with Tommy Körberg and Helen Sjöholm on vocals. Fans in the audience filmed rehearsals and post-broadcast footage.

Also, on the same show was The Real Group, who recorded Dancing Queen with Frida and performed it with her on Ja må hon leva in 1993.

Det är vi ändå was a new song for 2005 written by Benny and Björn.

Tangokavalieren was one of the songs performed by Björn in Räkna de lyckliga stunderna ... Jules Sylvain berättar om sin musik in 1969.
