Tyskarna från Lund


Tyskarna från Lund is a Swedish synthpop group, consisting of members from the comedy group Varanteatern. The name translates to The Germans from Lund in English.
Tyskarna från Lund is a satirical group that makes fun of the stereotypical synth music artist and their followers, in particular Kraftwerk. Like the latter group, TFL has a four-person line-up of Germans, always dressed in black and with minimal movements on stage.
TFL's lyrics consists of pseudo-German and are more or less Swedish lyrics made to sound German. In 2002, 2006, and in 2018 again, their mock football-themed singles, "Global Fussball OK!", "Global Fussball 06!", and "GLOBAL FUSSBALL XOPOWO" were released around the opening of the World Cup.
The act started as a recurring sketch in Varanteaterns shows, most notably in their TV series Varan-TV. The act was popular, and later became a regular group with single and album releases. Varanteatern also started Knut and some other bands, but they never became as popular as Tyskarna från Lund.
