Hawk!! Hawk!! Very entertaining, as always.
It amazes me that when you sing, you're able to drop
the Swedish accent (not that it's a bad thing) and
"Americanize" the lyrics.

Great job as always Hakan! You're voice is good. You should sing more often.

Thank you!

FMWoodeye: I think many people in my country talks americanized english because of the impact of the american culture. My old english teacher back in the 80s didn't allow people to talk american english during lessons unless you had lived in USA and could talk it 100% correctly. Otherwise you had to talk british. But he is retired now. Another thing I noticed when I was in USA 10 years ago was that it seemed to be easier for people to understand what I said if I adjusted small things. For example ordering a hamburger, when I used the more dry british "a" and "r" I had to say it many times. But when I fattened a,r up a little I got my burger!

I can't really sing but it's fun to try. For this song I tried to find versions of the text with as little text as possible. I have tried to sing other songs with longer lines but it does not sound good at all.

Well, your singing sounds fine to me throughout all your videos. Perhaps you've taken great care in what you choose to sing and pick out pieces you can execute successfully.
