I Love Those Fancy Ladies

Viking Truckers
The scene: My friend Avi is in Stockholm, in a record shop, flipping through the dusty old vinyl. He pulls out a mysterious record and his face lights up. Avi, as many people know, is wild about Scandinavian music (he runs the website ItsATrap.Com, after all). But what most people don’t know is that Avi is also nuts for Trucker Country from the ’70s. So when he found this record — Viking Truckers’ Love On The Road, you know his life suddenly felt complete.

It really is insane, btw. It’s like “Eastbound and Down” covered by Abba, while a kidnapped Scotsman nervously plays along on his bagpipes because a wild-eyed faux-hillbilly Nordic in a satin cowboy shirt has a Winchester pointed at his temple.
