Bollibompa

 

Bollibompa! Bolli-bomp-bomp-a! It is a tune that will haunt Swedish children forever. At 6 PM (or was it 6.15? Damn, I am getting old) the classic intro of the country’s oldest children’s programming starts. Since it is on public television, it is super educational and features things like Claymation from Eastern Europe and series based on special needs kids or feminists with pink hair. It made us all better people. Look up Björne on Youtube if you want a real trip. I grew up with him, a bear living in a strange shed whose best friend is a snail.
