    • 1996, Björn Rosenström, “Ragnar”, in Låtar som är sådär [Songs that are so-so]‎[1]:
      Ni har hört låten om Lennart, men ni har inte hört den om hans bror. Han heter Ragnar. Tillverkar vagnar. Han bor i Flen, men han har ett problem. Ragnar är översexuell, -sexuell. Han är kåt som ett djur. Han får sitta i bur. Han vill våldta och antasta allt som han ser, och när han har gjort det så ber han om mer. Stackars Ragnar kastreras ska, men det är nog lika bra. Ni förstår, hans rekord ingen slår. Han har haft stake i femton år.
      You've heard the song about Lennart, but you haven't heard the one about his brother. His name is Ragnar. Makes wagons. He lives in Flen, but he has a problem. Ragnar is oversexed, -sexed. He's horny as an animal. He has to sit in a cage. He wants to rape and molest everything that he sees, and when he's done so, he asks for more. Poor Ragnar is going to be castrated, but that's probably just as well. You see, no one beats his record. He's had a hard-on for fifteen years.
