From the information I've received (not from my regular source) that's the song she'll be singing.

My guess is its a spoiler. But again, who knows!

Nadine did say the spoiler could change since the scene is yet to be shot.

I love it! I was so depressed that it wasn't in "Mamma Mia" when I went to go see it, but this might be better. Or at least tie.

I feel like Lorelai losing the dollhouse is like Luke getting rid of the boat. Things change...

"There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, FER-NAN-DO!"

Why?

Mhm I fear it has something to do with the E/L relationship.

Maybe she's trying to take down that stupid plasma tv (it was still on the wall when I went on the tour a few weeks ago) and it slips and crushes the doll house. Maybe?

Oh, and I LOVE Fernando! My roommates and I in college used to dress up and sing this song at the top of our lungs...yes, we were dorks.

Do you know which ep they were shooting then, was it after the baby shower one?

And welcome to

What if the dollhouse gets distroyed by accident, Lorelai gets upset when it happens, she has an argument with the person who causes the trouble, Luke happens to be there as well and he stands by her side solacing her.

lancer1993 · 03-08-2007, 06:23 PM

I have not doubt it an accident, I don't see Lorelai, rory or anyone close to her wrecking the doll house.

Anita Love the idea of Luke standing by Lorelai to comfort her, maybe offer to fix it.

Gilmoregirl82 · 03-08-2007, 07:55 PM

oh well guess we'll have to see in about 5 weeks or more! *blah*

**perrygraham** · 03-09-2007, 03:24 AM

I don't understand why Lorelai chooses Fernando, except she's only doing it for fun. The refrain could fit L/L but that's all. I thought it was a song about war but wasn't sure so I googled it.

Quote:

"Fernando" is the Swedish band ABBA's first non-album single. The song appeared on the 1975 ABBA release Greatest Hits in some countries, and it was included on Arrival in Australia and New Zealand.

"Fernando" was originally not an ABBA song but written for ABBA member Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It appeared in 1975 on her Swedish solo album Frida ensam. The song was written by Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Stig Anderson. The song carried the working title "Tango" and preparations for recording began in August 1975.

The Swedish language version is about a man named Fernando, and his former girlfriend who left him. The song was very successful in Scandinavia (it topped the Swedish hitlist Svensktoppen for ten weeks) so ABBA decided to re-record the song in English, so ABBA's version of the song can be regarded as a cover version.

The lyrics present a vision of nostalgia for presumably two soldiers reminiscing in old age about some unspecified war of liberation or national defense they participated in during their younger days.

While the composers claim that they did not mean to reference any specific war or period, the reference to the Rio Grande seems to tie the setting to Mexico – possibly in the time of the Mexican Revolution – or possibly Texas. Alternatively, it has been speculated that this song refers to the role of the International Brigade volunteers in the Spanish Civil War (though the former is most likely).

Maybe Lorelai sings the swedish version.
