"Hand i hand" is a song written by Magnus Uggla, and performed by him on his 1983 album Välkommen till folkhemmet. The chorus are taken from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's violin concert.[1] The song's lyrics reflect upon the hippie movement during the political left-wave in the Western World during the years around 1970. Living for 10 years inside a flat at Västerlånggatan in Gamla stan, Uggla would sometimes be awakened by songs like El Cóndor Pasa. He would sometimes reply by playing heavy metal.[2]

Other version[]

In 1998, a new version was released, together with Dogge Doggelito, peaking at number 47 on the Swedish Singles Chart.

  • Heja X-lag, tillsammans skall vi kämpa på. Krossa Y-lag. Vi älskar X-lag.

meaning:

  • Go X-team, together, we'll fight. Crush Y team. We love X team.
