A number of other noted Swedish musicians and singers were rumoured to have taken part in the Caramba recordings, but Tretow confirmed in an interview in 2015 that he and Gärdestad were the primary artists. Roger Palm, the drummer for ABBA, played drums on "Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot" and , a Swedish comedian known for his prank calls, was involved on the track "Ahllo", according to Tretow.
