Are anyone familiar with the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), that song was Swedens contender two years ago if memory does not fail me. The thing about Roger Pontare is the he really stood out visually against the other contenders.
Since ESC is shown on TV across the world most participants are (or at least try to be) fairly telegenic, Pontare was somewhat overweight with heavy stubble and wearing what looks like some kind of Indian costume with a Pom-Pom on top of his head, to be frank he looked ridiculus.
Also at about the same time he was accused of being a rascist in swedish newspapers.
This page got a picture, it's in swedish but if you can read it it's about Pontares response when a swedish rascist party praised the song:
