In trying to find an audio copy of the Swedish lullaby about trolls (where the mother trolls curls up her babies in her tail and sings to them) I ended up instead with some sort of melodramatic gothy thing. It was named "Troll's Lullaby, " so I assumed I was getting the genuine article, but instead it was about what you'd expect; endless repetitive echo-y rattles and hollow effects, dirgelike female vocals in monotone, etc. I can almost hear the band members chortling about how clever they are to call their song a lullaby and give it "scary" lyrics about having one's head eaten. Yippy skippy, I'm *so* impressed. The Pogues did that ages ago, with amusing lyrics and melody and a decided lack of a single-note percussion system. This was not interesting, clever, or amusing. Get back in your bus.
Meanwhile, I still haven't found the *actual* troll song #grumbles#
