I like the way they pronounce anything! And remember, it's not easy singing those catchy lyrics in a very difficult foreign language...

All kidding aside, when I found out back in the day that they were Swedish, I really had to give some one credit for writing pop songs in a (to him or her) foreign language. I can't do that.

Ah, but most Swedes speak very good English. When I was in Sweden back in the '80s, I asked how everyone knew English so well and was told that it was mostly because of TV. They got most of their shows from the U.S. and didn't have the money to overdub them in Swedish. Sure enough, a lot of the programming was in English.
Still, it's probably a different thing to write songs, even if you know a language well. Heck, I can't write songs in any language...

they speak 8 languages due to the surrounding countries. european people are open to learning many different tongues than the americans are.
