    • 1968, Sven Lindahl (lyrics and music), “Mälarö kyrka [Mälarö church]”, in Magnus Uggla Band sjunger schlagers [Magnus Uggla Band sings schlagers]‎[1], performed by Magnus Uggla:
      Det strömmar skön musik från en Mälarökyrka. En pojke spelar Bach en kväll när inte nån hör på. Och orgeln är hans liv och musiken hans styrka. Han önskar att bli kantor, vill i pappas fotspår gå.
      Beautiful music flows from a Mälarö church. A boy is playing Bach one evening when no one is listening. And the organ is his life and the music his strength. He wishes to become a cantor, wants to follow in his dad's footsteps.
