Best Answer

There is a song sung by Swedes when they celebrate midsummer.

One part of the song includes the words;' little frogs, little frog are funny to see, no ears, no ears, no tails have they.' etc.

The tune to which this is sung is a French military march dating to the French Revolution. The original song is La Chason de l'Oignon.

I think, that the song the Swedes sing was introduced by British sailors. Who composed it using the original French tune, but changed the words to fit in with the anti-French feeling during the Napoleonic wars.
