My evil plans have succeeded past expectation.

I just came downstairs to find little k. singing Allan Edwall's Vaggvisa to E.W. Sloth while he was trying to sleep in his pram.

For those of you not familiar with this prime Swedish lullaby, the two first verses are roughly

Sleep my little heart
Peacefully in your cot
Don't be frightened, don't be scared
'cause in the dark night
Uncle Strong guards
over land and wide seas

He has sharp eyes
and a big cannon
And he won't let any bastard
cross the bridge

Although the word used for bastard literally translates as "devil"[0].
And she sang the entire thing.

Success.

[0] It then goes on to tell how anyone who challenges Uncle Strong will end up in a pool of their own blood. We rarely sing that bit. Nowadays.
