A while ago, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
asg_qa_s7 asked me if I had filked Bellman's song Liksom en herdinna (or to give its formal name: "Fredmans epistel n:o 80. Angående Ulla Winblads Lustresa til Första Torpet, utom Kattrumps Tullen."). I hadn't at the time.
Epistle 80 is another popular tune over here. I can recommend the versions by Hootenanny Singers (including Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA fame) and Brett Umlauf (highly operatic and theatrical version).
A while after that, I realised the perfect piece of Swedish fan history that could go with the song: Höstcon 1985, one of the legendarily disastrous cons that were organised during the 80's. Included hardly any planning but jokes, the fifteen-year-old fan GoH being plied drunk (until unconsciousness), and the entire con being evicted from its premises. The committee had anticipated for that, booked a reserve location, and the entire con migrated to the reserve spot in the middle of the night.
Of course, getting it written turned problematic, since I hadn't attended, so I had to do quite a bit of research. But in the end I managed to finish the song.
