Posted by http://www.nostalgoteket.se The Hootenanny Singers (for a couple of weeks originally called the Westbay Singers, Westbay being english for Västervik) were a popular folk group from Sweden, founded in 1961, and continuing into the 1970s. The group included Björn Ulvaeus, who later became a member of ABBA. Other bandmembers were Johan Karlberg, Tony Roth and Hansi Schwarz. The group was named "The Northern Lights" for an American-released LP in 1966. They debuted on the Swedish TV-show Hylands hörna with locally famous Swedish poet Dan Andersson's Jag väntar vid min mila. Baby those are the rules is one of Björn's first songs. And those lyrics... oh my.

The clip is from the movie Boccaccio '70 fom 1962. It's a movie in four parts, this one is called Le Tentazioni del Dottor Antonio and is directed by Federico Fellini. The gorgeous blonde is of course Anita Ekberg, truly larger than life in this clip.
