Swedish Viking Dance Band

Movie pitch: Swedish dance band travels back in time to confront their own ancestors (it could happen). Despite the polyester bell-bottoms and flashy rhinestones, the band members befriend a gang of blood-thirsty, axe-wielding Vikings. This newly-formed extended family sails far and wide in the North Sea of the 10th century, looting and harmonizing as they go. It's "New York, New York" meets "The Seventh Seal." I'm thinking of naming it, "No One Plunders Solo." Part two involves a freak time travel accident of some sort in which the Vikings return to the present and do a show at a swap meet in Southern California (or, Copenhagen, if you prefer). No one in the audience notices anything unusual and our intrepid gang finds fame and fortune in the new, new world. The former band members, meanwhile, are very cold and confused and tired of drinking mead, but, they will survive (possible Gloria Gaynor cover here). To be continued . . .
