Comment:
Sator's first single. It was more or less meant as a joke, since the original is a eurodisco song by the Swedish dance-dou Lili & Sussi. Many record chains refused to sell the single because of the "offensive" cover. This was solved by printing another neutral front cover on the other side and just flipping them over. The original version of "Pigvalley Beach" was released on the "Slammer!" album. Both tracks turned up on the reissue of this album.

Lyrics:

Oh Mama
(Norell/Oson)

Chorus:
Oh mama can't you tell
Oh mama can't you tell
If you want my love will you ring my bell

Oh mama can't you tell
Oh mama can't you tell
If you want my love will you ring my bell

I know it's written in my face
It's time for us to find a secret place
I've got things to tell
If you ring my bell

Forget your sorrows and lonely nights
What time tomorrow will be alright?
I hope you feel the same
I wanna call your name

Chorus

? I'm longing (looking?) for
I kiss (kick?) your face and close the door
I've got things to tell
If you ring my bell

Forget your sorrows and lonely nights
What time tomorrow will be alright?
I hope you feel the same
I wanna call your name

Chorus x6

If you want my love, want my love
Ring my bell

Ring my bell x6

Pigvalley Beach
(Chips Kiesbye/Kent Norberg/Michael Olsson/Hans Gäfvert)

I'm going to the sun, gonna have a lot of fun,
got some money in my pocket and some music on the radio
Get ready to go!
I press the pedal to the metal I'm welded to the wheel,
do you wanna come along baby?
I've got a week to kill
down at Pigvalley Beach
That's where I get my thrills
and I get them cheap,

Down on the Beach
Wild on the beach

There's a party in the valley, lot's of beer and rock'n roll
All the surfers gonna be there and some honeys will be coming along
Let's get real gone!
We're gonna have a groovy time in the broiling summer sun
It's gonna be the best party that you've ever heard about,
we're gonna scream and shout
Go out of reach
We're gonna do it loud

Down on the beach
Wild on the beach
Sick city here I come

There was a party in the valley, lot's of beer and rock'n roll
I had some money in my pocket and some music on the radio
And I got real gone
I've been drinking for a week and I haven't been to sleep,
my feet no longer seem to be connected to my head at all
My mind's a black hole
What about the big party?
Did it happen at all?

Down on the beach
Wild on the beach
Down on the beach
Sick city here I come!
