Finland, but a tiny part of it. Ultra regional metal band from Närpes, singing in local dialect (archaic swedish with finnish influence), 1G3B. I think this is extremely obscure band not known outside the swedish region in ostrobothnia, Finland. Often their songs are covers on bigger hits, often times if there is a message I am not sure what it is. Often it's humor and being mentally unhinged. Uhm something about playing in the local soccer team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLC6sK7kvU&t=5s This one apparently was successful enough that swedish group Knogjärn made a cover of it called gulligull: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nipUQJJBARA Cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt8e5gxarOU I'd say 1G3B are extremely local and impenetrable, probably mostly interesting for swedes who want to hear how much understanding they can gleam from the songs. They have songs with themes like, if I owned cows, sausage rules, the joys of wrestling in Kaustinen. Then there are also these guys, KAJ, another very local band but which have had a lot more success (by our standards), doing all kinds of songs in dialect and singing/parodying smalltown / rural life in ostrobothnia mostly. Kom ti byin (come to the village) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDWuhjKO8nI About the small town life basically. Rap song. Jåo nåo e ja jåo YOLO ja nåo (yes, I am still yolo yes!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UPv4Bh0bxk An old man is feeling his 50th birthday so he sneaks out to a night club to try and relive his youth, his impenetrable dialect is part of the humor, some ripping on the whole YOLO stuff. Pa to ta na kako (Take some cake?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FgCNV2yYOk About your stereotypical grandmother who keeps wanting to feed you. K-pop style, and of course dialectal humor.

More local singers. Månskensbonden, another guy from a small ostrobothnian village singing in dialect. He does more slow ballads kind of music. Stormin (the storm) a duet with Iiris Viljanen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ2WNtF2cV8 Döpt i Kyrö älv (baptized in kyrö river) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQJcf-sIFbs Hanna Lagerström from Närpes too (Närpes has a lot of bands), she raps in dialect. Min tur ti ga (My turn to go) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9kM42uxUAM She has more songs than this but I only found this one on youtube. Alfred Backa, he's more a comedian than a musician but he's made shitloads of parodies on popular songs, usually he takes english songs and turns them swedish with local references and culture. Du får int naa (you aren't allowed to!) parody on euphoria by Loreen, a granddad only tells his grandson that he can't do X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-vka3CsVVE He Va Na! (That so?!), based on Tacabro - Tacatá. Parody on the local saying "he va na" which means roughly "is that so!?" works as an exclamation, a nod of understanding, a question) which is particularly inked to old folks talking about local gossip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjY8NMLoyLk Vetjahe! A local equivalent to "whatever", though more flexible I think. It's a parody on united states of whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsADpD5I5Zs As you might notice, people in swedish ostrobothnia are extremely proud of their dialects as well as of the large variation that exists in such a small region. Might be a backlash from earlier times when a dialect was something ugly and we were supposed to speak "high swedish" (högsvenska).

Listened to an old cassette tape I found and it had this song on it, kinda catchy. Finnish 80s band called Dingo (still going actually). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_-3wwFLroY Nahkatakkinen tyttö = leather jacket wearing girl And also this one was nice, Autiotalo (Deserted house, that was my translation, had a real english name apparently: "The House without a Name") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEl_AG16IrI His Divine Shadow has a new favorite as of 19:43 on Sep 21, 2021 |

More swedish classics in the same style Du får göra som du vill (you can do whatever you want) by Patrik Isaksson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JdnG6y6UWI Oh Kent... Kent! I forgot Kent. Actually one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are in swedish and sorta incomprehensible even to those who speak it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FuL-YmPFYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NRCR1QIhB4 Kent has a lot of good stuff IMO so hard to not link everything. ... EDIT: Well gotta add this one too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkhCH5I7e94 I noticed the spanish speaking world seem to like Kent, which remind me Eddie Meduza seems to be popular in Mexico for some reason. Who was Eddie Meduza? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Meduza quote:He was also a popular performer of so called Raggarmusic. Norstedt's other persona was the far more vulgar E. Hitler.[1] In this guise he generally recorded more offbeat or even puerile recordings like "E.Hitler skiter" (a recording of his own bowel movements) to sexually explicit material. The E. Hitler recordings were only available on tape, that customers would order by mail directly from Norstedt. He did, however, have a certain deeper humorous line as well. On tour (as Eddie Meduza) he urged his audience to drink vodka, and become just as drunk as he usually was himself during his performances, to the tunes of his "Mera brännvin" ("More booze!").[2] More booze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW8IiNrfVLA In this video he sings about how booze is actually good for you. Eddie meduza died unrelatedly of liver failure. His Divine Shadow has a new favorite as of 19:43 on Oct 25, 2021 |

A local staple, Traktor Alban (finnish swedish dialect, puns and the like) by Sås & Kopp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nEkxgOSdJA Som en gummiboll kommer jag tillbaks till dig (like a rubber ball I come back to you) by M.A. Numminen, a finn who decided to sing in swedish as well. Also called the human auto-tuner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy7FxPJca-4 His Divine Shadow has a new favorite as of 16:09 on Jan 29, 2022 |

Here's a music video done by the finnish-swedish radio X3m morning crew (at that time) teaming up with more known artist Pandora to make a humoristic song where they argue that Pandora should be made the queen of Åland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XlKJ8DCH6U Radio x3m does a lot of parody songs... Grani Style (riffing on Grankulla, it's our rich people place) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7B-Y2RndZY Gung i Kajutan, this one's not an actual parody but an original tune (afaik), about summer and boating, again it's the radio hosts who are doing the singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD6zWVhMJds I can't find the one where they ripped on Eric Amarillos song "Om sanningen ska fram" I remember it was probably a bit too offensive to remain up, lyrics went something like "if your mother smells like butt sex, who will want you sleep with you?"

Here's one I like. There's something surreal and powerful about this song. "Jag mötte Lassie" (I met Lassie) AInbusk Singers from 1990. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcKFA9dl2hw Lyrics original quote:Det var en dag när jag var fyra år Translated: quote:There was a day when I was four years old His Divine Shadow has a new favorite as of 11:40 on Jan 17, 2023 |

Trollvinter i mumindalen (troll winter in moomin valley), this song was made for the new moomin movie that came out in eatly 2022. It's sung in swedish by a swedish speaking finn. It gives me frozen vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQuuvvTWxok

It's soon july and vacation time, the blueberries will be ready to pick in the forest in a few weeks. It's time to start filling your buckets with the gifts of the forest. Hence this song. Bäriking (king of berries) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo3LgQaYCjU

Deep Glove Bruno posted:it's cool that the cover has kept up the tradition of identical plaid/contrast-trim pastel suits of swedish cheese records from decades past. a worthy torch bearer too as the song seems like what all those 60s and 70s swedish boners would've been in the modern era They do genre hopping all the time, that was one of their phases. Anyway, where did my sweet little girl go? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OEWwZqqBps Just D - Vart tog den söta lilla flickan vägen?

I remember it was pretty big when it came out, I wasn't very old then, 12 maybe and it was one of those tunes that got stuck. I still sometimes find those lyrics bubbling into my head at 40+ (var tog den söta lilla flickan vägen...) just coming and going like a drive by.

Local band KAJ released another single after like 10 years or something. "Firmans man" = Company man, about being a company man, work ethic like a lutheran and burning out. Unfortunately no music video for this, just a still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dzE4VBIoFI
