Got the third edition of Made in France today and was amused by the bandname of Nedra, which sounds pretty lame from a Swedish point of view. The Swedish word "nedra" could be translated to "darn" (not the heaviest of swear words) or if you like "nether".
That's an excellent name, really hilarious. "Svart skalle" could seem to mean "Black Skull" if you translate it "liberally", but in reality it's a derogatory term for any foreigner of darker complexion than your average Scandinavian pale-face.
I know I ain't doing much,
doing nothing means a lot to me.
