Scuzzlebutt - Hårgalåten (Nordic Folk Song) [HD Music Video]
Legend tells of a demon who lures peasants out from their chapels, only to dance them to death beneath the light of the full moon. Thus, Hårgalåten was written in their memory, and as a warning to those who might be tempted to stray from their faith and give in to sin.
But that’s just one side of the story.
Glad midsommar. Keep your wits about you when the veil is thin.

Lyrics:
Spelmannen drog fiol ur lådan
och lyfte stråken högt mot söndagssolens kula.
Då blev det fart på Horgafolket,
de glömde Gud och hela världen
Dansen gick på äng och backar,
högt uppå Horgaåsens topp.
Man slet ut båd’ skor och klackar,
aldrig fick man på dansen sto
