Thanks for the link, Night. Now I don't know if I want to visit Sweden or avoid it like the plague. LOL

Looks like I would fit right in in Sweden, except I would prefer sushi to surströmming.

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

I found a few of the items that don't apply to me, thus I know I haven't been in Sweden too long so far.

Swedish customs. I guess our two countries are not so different after all...at least in some things...Well...you decide. :)

Wikipedia article in English about the song

And, yes, I do know the words...

Thanks, that is a pretty funny history for your frog song. :)

Yes, I didn't know the french connection myself.

I've known the song since I was very little, I guess all Swedish children come across it. It's one of those thing you take for granted.
