Eurovision Song Contest 2013 Grand Final Interval Act: 'Swedish Smörgåsbord' performed by Petra Mede

Our host of the ESC 2013 leads us through a brilliant medly “Swedish Smörgåsbord”, music by Jan Lundkvist, lyrics by Matheson Bayley, Edward af Sillén and Daniel Réhn, performed by Petra Mede. Poking fun at ourselves, I feature it as follows, which rings all too true.

We have the Swedish Chef, and as dutifully noted if someone smiles or talks to you on the Tunnelbanna, they are either drunk or insane!

We dance around the Midsommarstång (Maypole) like frogs in a fun way, and some of us even pole-dance the stång. We also support gay marriage, and another gay kiss on TV. The East is reeling with our tolerance and display of *gasp* homosexuality!

We eat kötbullar (meatballs) that are typical Scandinavian with (jest) a hint of horse meat, and we most certainly struggle digesting our dairy! Our men nurse the children, a change from the vikings and all those crazy things they did!

Carola never turns down an opportunity to show her face to the world, even if she falls off the stage and then we all gather on the stage to celebrate our crazy culture and the tolerance of our people!

We gather to celebrate our awesomeness, and even Petra disguises herself to be a member of ABBA!

The final camera position with Petra raising up her hands in the air is part of the logo for our ESC Radio station:

Since I watched this, I love Sweden even more than ever before!❤❤... A super LGBT-friendly, pro feminism, eco-friendly and pet friendly country that I wish I could travel to someday in the future ..

Swedes should and must be really proud of their land and culture 🎉
