Midsummer's eve motherfuckers! "In modern Sweden, Midsummer's Eve and Midsummer's Day (Midsommarafton and Midsommardagen) are celebrated from the eve of the Friday between June 19 - 25. It is arguably the most important holiday of the year, and one of the most uniquely Swedish in the way it is celebrated, even if it has been influenced by other countries long ago. The main celebrations take place on the Friday, and the traditional events include raising and dancing around a huge maypole. One typical dance is the frog dance. Before the maypole is raised, greens and flowers are collected and used to cover the entire pole. Raising and dancing around a maypole (majstången or midsommarstången) is an activity that attracts families and many others. People dancing around the pole listen to traditional music and many wear traditional folk costumes. The year's first potatoes, pickled herring, sour cream, and possibly the first strawberries of the season are on the menu. Drinking songs are also important at this feast, and many drink heavily." Maypole = Pagan ritual = Big penis impregnating the earth = good harvest If you ever visit sweden you should come this wekend and witness a real midsummers eve party . Other countries celebrate this event too , but swedes do it proper!! Fuck christmas and New Years eve , bring on the beer and schnaps!! |

The frog song. ruffly translated. "Little frogs , little frogs are funny to watch. Little frogs , little frogs are funny to watch. No tails , no tails , no ears they have No tails , no tails , no ears they have Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack ack kaa. Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack ack kaa. " You can hear the song in the movie Minority Report sung in swedish by Peter Stormare when performing eye surgery on Tom Cruise . But he replaces the word ears with eyes. |

Now there's a culture with their act together and a nice mix of arbitrary nonsense rituals. |
