Wow... i had no idea. I'm gonna  hafta fact check this with Melvis Pretzel. He is more Elvis than not, if you catch my drift.

I have realized that the great Swedish poet Evert Taube was my main source of inspiration. After appearing at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, he presented his dear wife with a bunch of roses.
Baggensfjärden is a beautiful part of the Stockholm archipelago and we sailed there many years ago with my sister and her family.
This song is one of his most beautiful and I played and sang it for my children when they were little. Maybe I'm not doing the song real justice!
The song is in Swedish, and I am not sure if I may present the lyrics!?

Morgonsång på Baggensfjärden (by Evert Taube)

You are one in a million
But that's no thing to boast
The horns proclaim my brilliance
But I proclaim it the most

CHORUS
I don't want to stick around with you
I'm inclined to reach out for the skies
All the time we wasted as the world went and flew by
[Its painful but its true]
I don't want to hear more words from you
I don't want to listen to your lies
All the time we wasted as the world went and flew by
[I'm sure I'm over you]

Guess I'm really an accident
A germ against the swarm
Get your protective clothing and
Then shelter from the storm

CHORUS

Listen To Your Lies

I do not want more
Fake friendships
What you give me
No longer funny

Rich solitude
I don't want your kisses
Only the truth
Lying eyes

Cotton rich
Hugs trash
Love scams
Fake hearts

Of the tongue
Of the soul
From the bottom
Give Your Heart
From the shadows
What's in you

Of the life
What has he given me
I don't want your farce anymore
I sweat it forever
And for you

Recording: Elvis Presley's TBC band

This concert, recorded April 19th 1972 in Albuquerque at the Tingley coliseum, was meant, in part, to be a warm up for the upcoming four sold out dates at Madison Garden in New York. Elvis’ intention was for the band to play a bit more loose and have some fun. They were hoping to capture a more relaxed mood for the live album. In the interest of achieving that, wine was served to the band during a mid-concert intermission. Unbeknownst to most of the members of the band the wine served was spiked with LSD. Teedy Turney a roadie and guitar tech, who had previously worked for the Grateful Dead, had picked up the homemade wine from a hippie commune out in the New Mexico desert. Elvis had been interested in doing a version of I’ll Take Romance ever since seeing Eydie Gorme perform it on the Seventh Allen show in 1957. He had also appeared on the Steve Allen show as well in 1957, around the last time he had appeared in New York City. The second half of the show got understandably odder and odder and the recorded version heard here was one of two songs preformed as an encore. Elvis allegedly requested I’ll Take Romance but “overwhelmed by the moment” he, reportedly, laid down on the stage and ate brownies. Only part of the full band came out. Elvis thought this recording was worth keeping anyway even though he had the rest of the concert’s recordings erased.

Wiggle Dance
Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

Wiggle wiggle wiggle
Wiggle wiggle, wiggle 
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance. 

See the shy girl,
Who’s never danced before,
Take her sister’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
All around the room,
And they keep on wiggling,
In the light of the moon. 

Chorus

See the shy boy,
Who’s never danced before,
Take his brother’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
all around the room,
Until they trip over these girls,
And not a moment too soon. 

Chorus

See these shy kids,
Who’ve never danced before,
Pick each other up,
And wiggle around the floor,
They do the wiggle dance
Like it’s never been done,
And they keep on wiggling,
Until the light of the sun. 

Chorus

Wiggle Dance

This is a remake of the traditional Christmas Hymn done in a very different folk style, including some of our own lyrics mixed in with the original verse. The melody is quite different but still, we felt, in line with the original feel. As she often does (and so well), Nat has orchestrated some lovely highlights to bring a touch of heaven to this lovely Christmas standard. 
Jesus Christ is born! Merry Christmas to all....

Silent Night (Daniels, Durgy & Gruber)

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Silent Revery ..at the sight.
Glory graces from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!...
Christ our Savior is born!
Christ our Savior is born
 
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
