Sjung aldrig denna sång för mej

[kjn]

thette and H complained about earworms at dinner yesterday. That led to me writing the following:

Sjung aldrig denna sång för mej
Den fastnar i min hjärna
Den tar sej in som glittersprej
Det finns ej sätt att värna
Och sjung sen ej en Argo-scen
Ej Rick, stor rymd, ej styrmannen
Nej sjung aldrig denna sång för mej

Och håll nu klaffen, lyss på vad jag säger dej
Och sjung aldrig denna sång för mej!

(Ttto "Never Set the Cat on Fire")

Hold the flap

I can't read Swedish, but this is what Google Translate gave:

Never sing this song to me
It gets stuck in my brain
It absorbs glitter
There is no way to protect
And then do not sing an Argo scene
Not Rick, big space, not the mate
No, never sing this song to me

And now hold the flap, listen to what I tell you
And never sing this song for me!

Interesting attempt…

It's supposed to be "it enters much like glitter spray".

It then refers to Banned from Argo (because obviously), Rickrolling, Space Is Big by Chris Malme, and a famous Swedish children's song.

"Hold the flap" is a Swedish colloquialism, meaning to hold your tongue.

German has the same expression, "Halt die Klappe!"
