Vikingarna was a Swedish dansband, formed in 1958 by Claes Johansson as "Jicco & the Vikings". In 1961, the name was changed to "Vikings", and in 1973 to "Vikingarna". The band first entered Svensktoppen in 1975, with the song På världens tak, a Swedish cover of The Carpenters-hit Top of the World. The big break-through on the list came the coming year, with Du gav bara löften ("You only gave promises"). That year, the band sold their first gold record. The singer back then was Stefan Borsch, but from the 1979 album Kramgoa låtar 7, he was replaced by Christer Sjögren. In the year 2000, Vikingarna begun to record songs in the German language, under the name "Vikinger". They were popular in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The band was dissolved in 2004, a few months after releasing a "Greatest Hits" compilation, which spanned most of the band's career, featuring newly recorded versions of several old hits. A documentary/concert titled "Kramgött från början till slut" was released at the same time. Their last concert was held in Arvika on 3 July 2004, in front of more than 7 000 people, breaking the record for most attendants at the site, with both Christer Sjögren and Stefan Borsch appearing. At the time for the 2004 dissolvement, Vikingarna had sold over 11 million records. For many years, the band's album series was named "Kramgoa låtar", and 27 of the bands albums was released under this name. In 1988 and 1991, they were awarded Grammis prizes. For most of the 1980s and 1990s, Vikingarna was often seen as a standard for the dansband sound.

Vikingarna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night
It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember
That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
