Skägget (The Beard)

So the opening line says it all... "I would like to kiss you but there's something in the way" - and that's what she said... It's a fun song about the trials and tribulations of having a beard...The band is Den Fule (The Ugly One) from Sweden, and the song is Skägget. Of course, the main character lets the girl shave him, but the last laugh is on him, as she screamed when she saw what he looked like underneath the beard. Den Fule existed through the 90s, and I found this song on the magnificent compilation Bergtagen, which has a lot of great songs by bands in the crossroads between folk/traditional music and rock/metal.
