Karl/Anton -- ok, fine. So I looked up Peps Persson ... First thing that popped up was
THIS ...
Words utterly fail me. WHAT ... IN .... THE .... (heck) .... WAS .... THAT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Anton .... Karl has an excuse -- he had poor schooling. You, however .... have MUCH to explain.
My mother threatened me with lutefisk. I think I will threaten my grandchildren with that video.
My great Grandpa Carl from Marstrand.
Well... What to say... Peps is basically a swedish redneck (southerner) hippie musician who helped introduce reggae/RnB to Sweden. I'm from the south of Sweden, so I was introduced to Peps at an early age. He's actually very well known and loved, partly due to his prominent southern swedish accent. And yes, he did a lot of drugs... The song "oh boy" you heard in that clip is pretty much describing how life is wonderful, amazing and all in all enjoyable. if I were to give you a rough translation/description, the first verses go something like this:
"Oh boy!
What a lovely weather. The sun is shining today.
Oh boy!
No protective clothing needed,
that's what I enjoy.
Get up, come on, the sun is out.
No time to lay about.
Leave your hideout and come with me,
winter's gone, summer's here!
Oh boy!
Listen to the birds singing,
they sing a dizzying tune.
Oh boy!
Running through the garden,
is the road to a new adventure!"
Something like that... Hope that's sufficient as far as explanations go.
If you want to scare your children, lutefisk is not the way to go. That stuff is just slimy tasteless dried and rehydrated fish, tastes of nothing (which is why you eat it with mustard gravy, it tastes of nothing by itself). Wanna scar people for life, surströmming is your bet. That **** will send grown men running all kinds of directions while puking violently. No, but seriously. It can be enjoyable eaten the right way (which is not by eating whole pieces at a time, as shown in most "surströmming challenge" videos online). It's basically a spice and should be treated as such. A big piece of surströmming is about as pleasant as a mouthful of salt, because that's pretty much what it is. Chopped up and eaten in small doses together with other ingredients, it's just a condiment, a spice, a taste enhancer, and quite enjoyable. It is however quite pungent and will send people running away from the smell lol
