Let’s sing the most popular drinking songs in Sweden!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been to many Swedish student parties, (too many, some might even say \ud83d\ude09 ).
One thing I really learned to enjoy, is collectively singing Swedish drinking songs – snapsvisor – not only at student parties but also traditional Swedish celebrations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu ska vi sjunga en snapsvisa<\/em> <\/p>\nNow we’ll sing a snaps song<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The first time I experienced Swedish snapsvisa-traditions<\/strong> at a crowded party – being placed at long dinner tables – I found a it a little awkward not being able to neither know the lyrics nor hum the melody. But luckily, none really cared. It’s not about showing off with your most ear-pleasing singing-voice, singing a snapsvisa at a Swedish party is solely about having maximum fun, together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more drinking songs we sang, the more snaps we drank. The more cheerful the party became, … and the louder the drinking songs. ;)<\/p>

I collected the most common Swedish drinking songs that I heard (and tried to sing myself) at these parties and got some inspirations from Swedish websites that collect all kinds of Swedish snaps songs (links in the bottom of this page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a party with Swedish drinking songs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use this list if you are planning a Sweden-party and want to make a s\u00e5ngh\u00e4fte<\/em>, a song booklet, for each participant. These song booklets are very popular at many Swedish midsummer [midsommar<\/em>)<\/a> or crayfish-party (kr\u00e4ftskiva<\/em>)<\/a> celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
