They are reasons enough to go for music.
 
is not Swedish

I mistaked this for scandinavian, in that case... Einojuhani, is not swedish either.
And not Scandinavian either.

You were fast with google, however, wikipedia has failed you this time.
Are you referring to the article that clearly states that Finland is NOT a part of Scandinavia?
Yeah!! Sorry guys, it's a bit my fault,Embarrassed 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

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.

A Norwegian celebrating Swedish cultureConfused 

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?

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 Embarrassed,
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

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

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

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.

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