As if the Swedish chef in Muppet Show talks with anything like a Swedish
accent! For us it sounds something like Dutch with a grave American
accent (no offense to the Flying Dutchmen, it's of course mostly because
we don't know Dutch as the Americans don't now Swedish).

A lot of the words are pronounced similar in Swedish and German, but the
melody is very different.
