song: Maxwell's Silver Hammer
language: Swedish
performer: The Hootenany Singers
The Hootenany Singers were a Swedish folk group that included Björn Ulvaeus (later of ABBA). They had several Swedish and a few international hits. This song is not a translation of Maxwell's but rather a parody of the Swedish hit countdown radio show Svensktoppen and the people who chose the songs that made it. (The anonymous jury must have been sufficiently shamed, as they put this song on the chart for 3 weeks. It's the only plausible explanation I can come up with.)
