News, updates and all kind of goodies

Why are you sending me postcards?

Every now and then we stumble on little gems on Youtube that are somewhat related to postcards - some of them are so weird and funny we cannot resist sharing them with you!

Meet Claes Eriksson, Swedish actor and composer, who did this cute little sketch:

We don't quite know what to think about it, but the tune is quite catchy! :)

Really catchy! Humming the tune (can't remember all the words) all evening.
Especially love Morgan the dog...

Been thinking about it all morning! I think some one of us (who knows how?) should post a re-write to "So gald you folks are sending me these postcards!"

I had a dog called Morgan too, but I can't imagine me singing and playing a tune.

Wasn't that initially "My Bonnie is over the ocean, my Bonnie is over the sea..."? Just stucks in the head.

I heard it first one year ago. Got the link of a postcrossing friend and gave me a big laugh. He should give the cards to us instead to his dog Morgan. I think he never heard about postcrossing. Maybe we should tell him about our wonderful community.

I have had a link to that youtube-clip on my profile for like a year :) I'm so glad the postcrossing team decided to share it with all of you. Claes Eriksson is a member of a Swedish comedian group called Galenskaparna & After Shave. They are great! Claes writes most of their material, but (unfortunately) almost everything is in Swedish. This song is a great exception! If someone wants to send him a card, I think I can find an address.
