Un-official anthem?[edit]

The last paragraph of the article states "In the recent years, the song "Ein Student Aus Uppsala" (written originally in German), has become the un-official anthem of students at Uppsala University, in Sweden, giving new popularity to Kirsti Sparboe.". I am from Germany and spend over a year in Uppsala participating in all kind of student events and activities. Most of student culture takes place in student organisations called "Nations" (same for Lund in south Sweden). As a matter of fact the song was never played at any event of the described Nations that I was attending for a whole year. Even though there is a swedish version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvdK4_8jcKs&feature=related) of "Ein Student aus Uppsala", my impression is, that the song is well known (I asked swedish students about it occasionally) but far away from being anything like an "un-official anthem". 130.243.155.171 (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's true. If you spent a year at Uppsala University, you will know that her pronunciation of U. ist totally wrong. Nobody from Sweden would consider that shlager anything else but a joke. The last paragraph should be eliminated, and I shall try to do it. However, I wonder how long the censor will tolerate it before he restores that nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD7:C25F:0:55B7:2687:37F3:7895 (talk) 17:19, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
