Is said to have been published by the theologian and superintendent "Israel Kolmodin" in 1695, though some argue that its origins are older.
It's got five verses, though in modern times only the first is played as it's got no religious undertones.
Traditionally, it's a psalm to be played during summertime, and is always played when schools close for the summer.

A very well known song said to originally be from Peru.
Often played on the Zampona (also known as pan flute, panpipes, syrinx, or quills), an ancient musical instrument based on the principle of the stopped pipe consisting usually of ten or more pipes of gradually increasing length (and, at times, girth), aswell as the charango, which is a small South American stringed instrument of the lute family (about 66 cm long, traditionally made with the shell of the back of an armadillo and not to be confused with a Cuban style of music called "charanga").

Thanks to Aguas Calientes for the info on the musical instruments.

Inspired by the the tale of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Raoul Wallenberg worked to save the lives of Hungarian Jews in the later stages of World War II by issuing them protective passports from the Swedish embassy. These documents identified the bearers as Swedish nationals awaiting repatriation.
It is impossible to determine exactly how many Jews were rescued by his actions.

This is a song about a folk musician who makes people dance until they drop dead.

It's saturday evening in the village and the youth have, as usual, come to dance upon the village ridge(?)...
When suddenly the music stops and a new folk musician appears out of the darkness, wearing a dark hat and sporting two fiery eyes...
He begins playing, and the youth start dancing more wildly as he plays, and it soon dawns on them that it's the evil one himself who's leading the dance...
