Räven_raskar_över_isen
"Räven raskar över isen" ("The Fox Hurries Across the Ice") is an old Swedish folksong performed as a singing game when dancing around the Christmas tree and the midsummer pole. The opening verses are often "flickornas visa" (the "girls' song", where the participants curtsey) or "pojkarnas visa" (the "boys' song", where the participants bow). After that, the verses may vary. However, the "songs" of Grin-Olle and Skratt-Olle ("crybaby Olle" and "laughing Olle") are common.
According to the Olaus Rudbeck's historical compilation Atlantica the song opens: "Hå, hå, Räfwen han låckar på isen". In the 1950 Carl-Herman Tillhagen and Nils Deckers compilation Svenska folkvisor och danser is a version opening with the line "Räven raskar över riset".
