    • 1993, Magnus Uggla, Anders Henriksson (lyrics and music), “Trubaduren [The troubadour]”, in Alla får påsar [Everyone gets bags], performed by Magnus Uggla:
      Då kom han, grabben med G, ja, en riktig gitarrknäppare. En rågblond nordisk prins, två dagars skäggstubb, t-shirt och avklippta jeans. Slog sig ner vid vår plats, presenterade sig såsom Mats. Så slog han an en ton, och började sjunga, mitt i vår konversation. Den tjej jag skulle ha i säng, föll genast in i hans refräng.
      Then he came, the guy with a G, yes, a real guitar plucker. A wheat-haired [rye-blonde] Nordic prince, two-day stubble, T-shirt and cut-off jeans. Sat down at our place, introduced himself as Mats. Then he struck a note, and started singing, right in the middle of our conversation. The girl I was going to get in bed, immediately fell into his chorus.
