Today, I realized that what I thought for years was my country's National Anthem, is actually the theme song of a TV show. FML

Today, I was singing the National Anthem at a school game and totally forgot the words. So I kept singing the same two lines over and over. FML
Today, I joined a conversation about a TV show at work, agreeing enthusiastically. After a few minutes, I realized they were talking about a completely different show with a similar name. I nodded along, trapped, hoping no one asked questions. FML
Today, I realized I've been confusing scenes from The Lord of the Rings with American history. FML
Today, I realized that I’ve been using the same alarm clock ringtone for so long that I now associate it with pure dread, even when I hear it being used in movies. FML
Today, at work, I had received a lot of phone calls. I thought maybe it was a scammer line because I never receive calls. Turns out my phone number is the same as a character's number in a TV show. FML
Today, I attended a musical. A new song was played, and I thought I'd heard it before because it sounded strangely familiar. I sang along quietly as the song progressed, positive I knew it. Anticipating the next chorus, I belted out the lyrics with all my heart. It was instrumental. FML
Today, after recently complaining that the reality show "The Great Norway Adventure" portrays us as a country of nationalistic rednecks, I saw my drunk dad chasing my uncle on a tractor while bellowing the national anthem at the top of his lungs. FML
Today, I discovered that one of my favourite, relatable sad songs is actually a song about gay sex. FML
Today, I binge-watched an entire season of a TV show in one sitting and now I'm not sure what day it is. FML
Today, I've made it clear to my roommate that I go to the bed at the same time every night, and that I need absolute peace and quiet from that point onward. Apparently, he misheard it as, "Watch American Dad until midnight, and possibly beyond." That theme song is gonna make me go nuts. FML

Hangin' out. Down the street. The same old thing. We did last week. . . Sure it's in Sweden, but there's a chance.

its the theme song for a show called Allsång på Skansen. Translated, it means "Stockholm in my heart..." it would make sense to think that because Stockholm is the capital of Sweden... if i hadnt been forced to learn the anthem in school i would've thought the same thing actually

Why does so many people assume the OP is American?

Well, apparently FML does as well... "Congratulations! You have earned the An insomniac or a creature of the dark FML badge." It's 11:41h here...

They all seem to be perplexed that someone couldn't possibly not know their countries national anthem, just because their the US places so much emphasis on it.

But then they'd say "how can you *not* know your national anthem?" instead of "I bet it's American Dad's song"...

To be fare, swedes rarely sing their national anthem. It is also not officially accepted as the national anthem.

So many people can't even bother to read that little part that says "Sweden (Stockholms Lan)"

The song wouldn't happen to be "Stockholm i mitt hjärta"? If so, then I can't really blame you for it hahha~

Can we get some context? For the poor stupid Americans like myself who are going to be boggled if we google that and would like a simple answer as to how this is possible?

it means "Stockholm in my heart" its the beggining to the theme song of a popular Swedish show called Allsång på Skansen
