Life Goes On… In a time of war and disheartening news, musical maestro Mutte Fjutt gives us a ray of sunshine, an instrumental with a crowd-pleasing, big band melody and a sweet refrain.

Who are these musicians? Music loops genius Mutte Fjutt in Uppsala, Sweden has teamed up with1980’s punk singer Clive Flatenbad to form the Swedish rap duo realPfft. Mutte is a shy guy while Clive is a performer. Mutte began his career as an audio engineer. Clive was a disc jockey who loves to sing. Both function as producers and songwriters.
Satirists, Mutte and Clive’s first two singles — Fake News and Fake News (Mutte’s illegal mix) — poked fun at America’s president. Seven years later, they have branched out, creating rap, hip hop, pop, rock, dance, disco, jazz, funk, fusion and classical tracks. They have never met a sound effect that they didn’t like. Drawing inspiration from 70 years of pop music, these musical dinosaurs call their oeuvre Dino Pop. They have released 140 singles and the album realPfft Does Jazz Funk.
Their female vocals come from girlfriends, loops from Ghosthack in Germany, Text-to-Speech software and nowadays even A.I.
Their cover art is produced by a geezer named Kuny who, fortunately, doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.
They release their music through the very adept people at TuneCore in Brooklyn, New York. TuneCore distributes realPfft’s tracks to YouTube, Spotify and iTunes plus 30 other online stores and five digital platforms. Thanks to them, realPfft’s music encircles the globe.
Clive’s rather nutty videos owe a great deal to his younger brother Tim who tries to squeeze a laugh out of even the lamest joke.
I am their music publisher, sometime manager and publicist.
Sommarlåt, A Summer Song. After three months of sunny days, music maestro Mutte Fjutt complements his artistic urges with AI tools. Lyrics by way of Gemini. The muscular melody, no-nonsense troubadour and the orchestration all come from riffusion.
The future we predicted on October 22, 2023 has already arrived, turning rappers realPfft into a production unit. With endless possibilities, they risk losing their souls.
“Some beach” is New Jersey slang for “Son of a bitch.”
Mutte Fjutt continues his experiments in A.I. He had Gemini write the lyrics, a lament over endless surf music. Then he had Suno create the country-western music and crooner Ricky Singer. With Clive producing and Mutte mixing, the peculiar bells and whistles of still another realPfft production remain front and center.

Some Beach
Woke up this morning, sun in the sky
Turnin’ on the radio, let out a sigh
Thought I’d get some rock, maybe some soul
But then I heard a falsetto, losing all control
No more Beach Boys, turn it down low
Sick of the surfing, sand and sun glow
Brian Wilson’s harmonies, they used to be grand
But now it’s just static, throughout the whole land
“Good Vibrations,” yeah, I used to agree
But now every time, it’s just torment to me
“Surfin’ U.S.A.,” I’ve heard it a million times
Can’t escape the doldrums or these tired old rhymes
No more Beach Boys, turn it down low
Sick of the surfing, sand and sun glow
Brian Wilson’s harmonies, they used to be grand
But now it’s just static, throughout the whole land
No more Beach Boys, turn it down low
Sick of the surfing, sand and sun glow
Brian Wilson’s harmonies, they used to be grand
But now it’s just static, throughout the whole land
I appreciate the classics, truly I do
But a modern rotation, that’s what I’m looking for, too
Give me something fresh, something new and profound
Not the same old surf anthems, all over town
No more Beach Boys, turn it down low
Sick of the surfing, sand and sun glow
Brian Wilson’s harmonies, they used to be grand
But now it’s just static, throughout the whole land
So if you’re a DJ, listening to my plea
Change up the playlist, set the airwaves free
No more Beach Boys, please, for the sake of my ear
