73. "Det Är Inte Lätt Att Vara Ödmjuk" by Johnny Andersson
After nearly two years of living in Sweden, there are only two songs other than hymns that I can sing parts of in Swedish by heart. I can sing the first verse of the Swedish version of "The Bare Necessities" from the Jungle Book. I listened to that tape quite a bit, and it actually helped me learn a lot of Swedish phrases. I can also sing the chorus to the Swedish equivalent of "Oh, Lord It's Hard to Be Humble" by Mac Davis. The second song makes this list because it's a favorite sing-along memory of walking and/or biking the streets of Sweden while singing this with my companions--at least the fun ones.
Here's the music and lyrics in case you'd like to sing along too.
And now, because I know the only Swedish words you know are "Frusen Glädje!"--which is pretty much all the Swedish anyone really needs to know--here are a few visual treats left over from the 80s.

Who eats ice cream with a strawberry?!

I just can't help myself either. Let's have some more of that frozen 80s commercial goodness!
Yes. The penguin works here.
Finally! A REAL COMPUTER KEYBOARD!
He sure likes to polish/fondle that heater! Better back it up some more, Randy!
