I’m obsessed with this song really catchy song called “Längst Fram I Taxin” by Swedish rap group Snook. One of my friends who spent a semester in Sweden at Uppsala Universitet introduced me to it.
I have no idea what the song is about, what it means, just that it has something to do with a taxi. Listening to music in other languages is great because you can just concentrate on the sounds. I think the way that these guys dress and dance is so awesome - especially when all three are just chilling on top of the building. I also like the way that certain clips are played backward and forward a few times in a row, like a visual record scratching.
Here’s the music video, courtesy of YouTube (skip the first 30 seconds):
dude the song rocks.
The lyrics is about the sexroles. Guys are supposed to be beefy, charming and only thinking about sex. Well none of the guys in Snook is like that. I’m not going to try and interpret all of them since like in most interpretations one lose a lot of the humor :o)
In Sweden the person that sits in front beside the driver pays the taxi. I the lyrics the girl is told to sit in front seat of the taxi (”längst fram i taxin”) so she’s the one who pays :o)
Pretty big hit here in Sweden. These guys are way better then most of the crap they reel on MTV!
Baby du knullar bra - baby you f*ck well

Spent about 15 minutes searching for a “swedish rap song” I remember watching the video for while on vacation in Sweden last summer. Finally, I found your page.
