At the gates, Entombed, Dismember, Edge Of Sanity, Tiamat, Unleashed, In Flames, Amon Amarth, The Haunted, Meshuggah are enough reasons to vote for "music". |

I voted films, because of Roy Andersson, mainly. And Körkarlen by Victor Sjöström, which is one of the greatest silent films of all time. Never been a big fan of Bergman except for a few films; Persona and Vargtimmen are the only ones I've really liked.
In the literature department like Inferno by August Strindberg, Aniara by Harry Martinson and Dvärgen by Pär Lagerkvist. Music is too much to even start talking about. |

I was aware of the first two lines - it was the "lalalala" children-chorus part I was curious about. Is it just nonsensical chant? |

Music. There isn't THAT much of movies, and there's really only a couple of famous directors.

I celebrate all the Scandinavian culture, but I think generally Swedish movies are generally better then Norwegian movies, I am not so knowledgable about Danish movies  , Swedes seems to be just more focused on the works they do and more more patient, and generally more professional, and self-ironic, have you seen a swedish comedy before Paravian, like Jalla Jalla or Kopps, or the dark comedy Smala Sussie, if you have not you should couse,,, they are just flat out hilarious and crazy, Hur gjer du meg som barn han var, verre en tenkes kan what you give me a child lik him, worse then thoughts can hanlde Ja Emil var det namn han bar, ja Emil hette han Yes Emil was the name he bore, yes Emil were his name and then lalalalalalal |

A Norwegian celebrating Swedish culture
 Anyway - I've always wondered what exactly it is we are invited to sing along to here, it still sounds like nonsense to my grown up ears - can someone please explain or transcribe? Edited by Paravion - July 07 2011 at 04:05 |

Several of my favorite bands are Swedish:
Beardfish Pain of Salvation Moon Safari Edge of Sanity Opeth I saw the The Seventh Seal which I didn't think lived up to the hype but is a good film nonetheless. Also, Let the Right One In and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are excellent. After seeing Let the Right One In, I really enjoyed it and read the book which was good too.

 because I did widen the debate to Scandinavia (instead of remaining solely Swedish) and even included Finland, which geographically isn't, but historically , this is a lot more debatable.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I think Astrid Lindgern alone movies or books is verry good, I would not mention all, and I can onl relate to the televised shows. but many of them are really good like Emil från lönnebergen, Vi på Saltkråkan, Ronja Röverdotter, Lövhjärte, Pippi, Mio min Mio ( one of the gratest fantasy novels ever), Marikken, mesterdetektiv blomkvist, Brödrana lövhjerta, and Barnan i Backebygeranden...

Well,if that's the case. I might as well say that you are right, since we both know way too little about Rautavaara to have an intelligent discussion about him.
Either way, my choice for music still stands.

I haven't got his biography at hand, but as far as I know he hasn't even lived in Sweden.

Yes. He's Finnish and therefore not Scandinavian.

Voted for Literature: I am not fond of most Swedish prog (although I realy like Anekdoten), but I like some of their detectives (Mankell, Sjöwall & Wahlöö).
