I can't decide whether I like this better than Evert's own rendition, but her crooning certainly adds a certain je ne sais quois

I find it very beautiful, definitely added. And I agree that her singing renders well the melancholy of this song.

However, I cannot find Evert Taube's version on Youtube. And my knowledge of Evert Taube is very, very thin.

How much Bellman do you know, Drakken?

Should you venture boldly forth into the unknown, make sure you get his early works, as the stuff produced in the winter of his years may be quaint but is generally of low standard music-wise.

Edit: I constantly get Sven-Bertil and Evert confused. Embarrassing.

Nigga's a giant (as you know). Study his work.

Although to be entirely fair, he does have character.

And for the grand finale, one of my favourite walzes. "Sjösala vals" performed by his son, Sven-Bertil.

Never fails to put a smile to my face.

Sven-Bertil is a great guy.

Sven-Bertil is a great guy.

I am confident that, like all of his ilk, when you meet him he turns out to be a real asshole and a pedofile.

Sorry, any guy who's played a German paratrooper in a major movie is OK.

A drunkard and a whoremonger, Cornelis is my kind of guy.
