It's all so very exciting. Today is the day! I'm not only referring to the Eurovision semi-final tonight, but also today is Kikki Danielsson's birthday. Hurrah for Kikki!
Kikki is 55 today and, bless her, she doesn't look a day over 50. Poor Kikki's been in the spotlight more for her eating and drinking habits recently than her fab schlager credentials.
So let's redress that with some Kikki facts.

So let's redress that with some Kikki facts.
- Kikki has been in Melodifestivalen 9 times, and has gone to Eurovision twice, in 1982 and 1985 when she finished 3rd.
- She's been a proper schlager pop singer since 1973.
- Her Bra Vibrationer is not only schlager brilliance, but also a hilarious song title.
- In her latest Melodifestivalen appearance, Kikki came last in the final. Poor Kikki! But! I dag & I Morgan was pure schlager brilliance, with bongs and a whopping key change.
- Kikki wore a big pink kaftan or muu-muu or something. What's not to love?
- Kikki was very big in the 80s, rocking a big hair and shoulder-pads look.
For your download pleasure, here are I Dag & I Morgan from Melodifestivalen 2006, and the very ace Varför är kärleken röd? which came in 2nd place in 1983's Melodifestivalen.
