devilcake wrote: Helan går is a popular Swedishdrinking song, or snapsvisa. Helan ("the whole" is an expression signifying the first (small) glass of spirit (commonly akvavit or vodka) in a series, and går means "goes (down)"; loosely translated as, "Bottoms up!" Thus, it is commonly sung as a toast, typically for the first glass of spirit at a seated dinner. The song has also become quite common in Finland, especially at academic dinners.
im glad i wasnt talking out of nattmössan about the pretentious academia people
