OK, would one of you care to shed some light on this:

[From a list I'm on]

Not that I can remember at this point ;-)

Hmm.... I have no idea.

I don't remember all of it. And I'm not sure on which out of
25 CDs with MP3s I have it on.

The chorus goes something like this:

Älgarna demostrerar, älgarna har fått nog
De vill ha frid och frihet, här i sin egen skog

The elks are protesting, the elks have had enough
They want peace and freedom, here in there own wood

I assume that it's the hunt they don't like, but it was a really long time
since I listened to it, can just as well be the right for anyone to visit
whereever she/he wants in the forest.

BTW: German tourists aren't like other tourists that steal ashtrays and
towels <g>, they steal elk warning signs from the roads ;-)
