Scandinavia is a historical cultural-linguistic region in northern Europe that includes the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, characterized by their common ethno-cultural heritage and related languages. Modern Norway and Sweden proper are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. The term Scandinavia is usually used as a cultural term, but in English usage, it is occasionally confused with the purely geographical term Scandinavian Peninsula, which overlaps with Scandinavia. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries. Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group.
The southern and by far most populous regions of Scandinavia have a temperate climate. Scandinavia extends to the north of the Arctic Circle, but has relatively mild weather for its latitude due to the Gulf Stream. Much of the Scandinavian mountains have an alpine tundra climate. There are many lakes and moraines, legacies of the last glacial period, which ended about ten millennia ago.
Music and lyrics: Jascha Richter
You made us wonderful
You made us wonderful
Leaving on an aeroplane
in the mood of april rain
The one and only
fills your heart
when you are lonely
We played a show with great routine
so many faces we have seen
and sometimes
you wonder
was just a dream
Chorus:
The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen
turns to gold in the morning sun
We are gently flying in from Asia
‘Cause we belong in Scandinavia
We all prepare for landing now
Watching the blue sky with no clouds
The cabin crew
takes a photograph
standing next to us
Chorus:
The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen
turns to gold in the morning sun
We are gently flying in from Asia
‘Cause we belong in Scandinavia
You made us wonderful
You made us wonderful
