    • 1998, “Jag ska bli en byråkrat [I will [shall] be a bureaucrat]”, in Lasse Åberg (lyrics), Janne Schaffer (music), Electric Banana Tajm [Electric Banana Time [with jocular Swedification of "time"]], performed by Electric Banana Band:
      De sitter där vid varsitt bord och skriver sina svåra ord, som "avdragsgill" och "synergi". Så duktig vill jag också bli.
      They each sit there at their own table [as a fairly literal translation – literally, word for word, "They sit there at one-for-each table" – "separate" sounds a bit different] and type [or write] their difficult words, like "deductible" and "synergy." I want to be that good too.
