Here's a regrettable relic from 2001 which utilizes a digital voice-changer box and a cassette deck with the ability to play backwards.

Since Sven's part is played in reverse, I realize it may be incomprehensible to some (all?) so here's the lyrics.

Sven:  Your love is like a flower blooming in the sun.  It's colorful and smells quite nice, and looks like lots of fun - but your roots are in the dirt nevertheless, so I must confess:  I don't think you're worth it.

Delilah:  Your love is like a burger cooking on a grill.  It's hot and juicy, appetizing, seems like quite a thrill.  But your buns are stale; the meat is mostly fat.  So, because of that, I don't think you're worth it.

Sven:  You could try to stoke the flame.

Delilah:  You could water my flower.

Both:  The passion would resume for maybe an hour.  We've gone beyond the stage where we can fool ourselves, or even care, because we're just not worth it.

I never knew I had a secret desire to hear touching, retro paeans to feelings long past, sung by the Svinnish cousin of David Lynch's Man From Another Place. But apparently I did, and you have provided admirably for this unvoiced, unrealized desire of mine. Bless you.

We're all full of mysterious yearnings. Just a few days ago I was walking past the derelict garment factory here in town - I've passed it dozens of times but this time the sunlight or the temperature or something was just right, and I was overwhelmed by a wave of nostalgia for a day long past, which I barely even remember: Just a feeling of being small, dusty, and quietly bored near a cinder block wall with ramshackle tin siding, a gravel parking lot with a few sparse weeds, and the smell of engine fluids. It's an indescribable emotion; I almost cried, but it would have seemed crazy to stand there weeping next to an ugly industrial building, so I kept moving.
