    • 1998, “Volvo 142”‎performed by Billy Opel:
      Jag åkte ner till Stockholm och då fick jag se glänsande Porschar och BMW. Men jag har en kärra som är bättre ändå [or "den då," but probably mis-sung]. Det är en Volvo 142. Och bilen den går utav helvete. Jag blåser om varenda BMW. Däcken de spinner när jag gasar på med min Volvo 142. Solen den skiner på blåa skyn när jag åker bort från byn. Kör på Highway 70, blåser om en Renault med min blåa 142. Köra så långt söderut, ända tills min motor är slut. Sätta upp ett tält och där ska vi bo, jag och min Volvo 142.
      I went down to Stockholm and then I saw shiny Porsches and BMW. But I have a ride that's better still. It's a Volvo 142. And the car goes like hell. I blow past every BMW. The tires spin when I step on the gas in my Volvo 142. The sun is shining in the blue sky as I drive away from the village . I drive on Highway 70, blow past a Renault with my blue 142. Drive so far south until my engine gives out . Set up a tent and there we will live, me and my Volvo 142.
