Fear the musician who makes you dance until you drop

submitted by Kreegath

1 decade 7 years 1 month ago

This is a song about a folk musician who makes people dance until they drop dead.

It's saturday evening in the village and the youth have, as usual, come to dance upon the village ridge(?)...
When suddenly the music stops and a new folk musician appears out of the darkness, wearing a dark hat and sporting two fiery eyes...
He begins playing, and the youth start dancing more wildly as he plays, and it soon dawns on them that it's the evil one himself who's leading the dance...

where's this from, sweden, norway?

you can vote on your own vid

I think the song was created sometime during the period when Sweden and Norway were part of the union, can't find a closer approximation than 100-300 years ago, taken from sites when googling for the title of the song (Hårgalåten). But the song is definately from the middle parts of modern day Sweden.

Thanks for the reminder, Thylan. I usually take so long to come up with a title, tags and a summary that I sometimes forget to give it a vote after posting it.
