A snapsvisa (Swedish for "snaps shanty", plural: snapsvisor) is a traditional Scandinavian drinking song, which is often sung before drinking a small shot of sprit that is called a snaps. A typical snapsvisa is a short, vigorous song; its lyrics usually tell of the delicacy and glory of the drink, or of the singer’s craving for snaps.
