Blue Swede was a Swedish rock band active from 1973 to 1975, noted for their rock covers of pop and soul songs. The band's distinctive sound, characterized by the prominent use of the vocal "ooga chaka" chant, gained international recognition with their version of B.J. Thomas's "Hooked on a Feeling". Björn Skifs, the band's lead vocalist, was a significant element in their success, contributing to their unique musical style. Despite their short tenure, Blue Swede's contributions remain significant in the music history, particularly in the realm of pop-rock fusion.
