The Swedish Frog Dance

The Swedes decided to teach some of the Americans a traditional dance/song that translates to "The Frog Dance". This is done at the yearly gathering to celebrate the summer solstice. After many attempts at the words, most were still clueless. And should you try this at home, watch out - these steps are tricky and tend to "trip" people up... :D

My dad spent 2 years in Sweden in his early 20's. He learned swedish beforehand and learned more when he was there. He taught me this song when I was 6 and a few other words in swedish. He taught me to sing it "ej svansar ej oron hava de" instead of the other way around though. I can still to this day sing it. :)

lyrics to the song:

Små groderna små groderna är lustiga att se små groderna små groderna är lustiga att se. ej öron ej öron ej svansar hava de ej öron ej öron ej svansar havar de o akakakakakakakaakaka

När vi var i usa lärde vi våran ingifta farbror små grodorna!! det var askul och han har helt klart blivit märkt för livet.

Han har oxå sjungit snapsvisor och dansat kring julgranen med "tomten".

Jag älskar verkligen de svenska traditionerna! Tänker aldrig flytta från detta underbara land<3

Hur man får utlänningar att rulla sig i gräset av skratt, visa dem små grodorna... xP

random utlänning: "Hey, Swede's 'ave got folk dance too, right?"

random svensk: "Yeeeaaah... We're... sort of... you know... imitating frogs..."

random utlänning: "o.o"

Den mest udda dansen ever ^^ Go Sverige<3 :)
