A major Swede Festival...it's a little off the beam, but I thought this could be a good spot to say goodbye to a guy who was the favorite kid's show host in Seattle when I was little. He moved on to that great fjord in the sky this year. All the funny songs I learned from tv and sang as a kid, were about Swedes and Scandihoovians. It was a better time then. ...Thanks Stan. *In* *the* *KZread* *Search* *bar* *type:* *"I* *Enjoy* *Being* *A* *Swede"...* *That's* *Stan* *Boreson* *his* *own'sef.*
Midsommar takes 3 weekends of festivals, music, and dancing here in Seattle. The food is always good, and the music. Mange Tack!
I know a frog song in Slovak with a very similar melody to the frog song at 3:33. Maybe it is a transition, who knows.

It's probably one of those familiar melodies.
I've never thoguht of it as being upsidedown... I can probably never see it in another way in the future though... Thought the horizontal bar came from Christianity to conquer the event. No idea about the rings. There's another pole as well with a bunch of rings around it instead of the horizontal bar, which I've thought of as being the original one. And there I suppose the rings sort of shows... yeah... something.
Glad Midsommar!
Penisdancingfrogs, is not the oddest thing in the world. I really was interested why do you dance like frogs. And you know what? - Your video helped me a lot. You don't know "why?" yourself. You just do it like many people all over the world do things and and don't really know why. But they always say "you should do it because everybody did, do and will do". Thanks. It's just ignorant's world fun. PS. its not penis its womb or symbole of fertilité.
Soo why do you dance like frogs, it seems you missed that part
Okay, but why frogs in particular? Just because??
Glad midsommar
