I struggle to see that the expression Satan i gatan can be translated at "The devil is inherent in the very fabric of the street". It simply means "Satan in the street". I am not aware that there is any established "interpretation" of the closer meaning of this expression. I honestly don't think that anyone who uses this expression intends to make a meaningful utterance about streets, or believes that their utterance can be interpreted as such, and certainly not about properties inherent in the very fabric of streets. Rather, the expression arises because of the rhyme. We can compare the English expression "the bee's knees". Why is something good because it's the bee's knees? No one knows, but it rhymes. Similarly, why is Satan particularly offensive just because he is in the street? No one knows, but it rhymes. David ekstrand (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the long interpretation of the title is a bit of a joke, and should be reverted. I also agree with your analysis of the saying, I understand its a mild expletive like "holy moly"--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 23:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Album importance[edit]

This was one of the most sold albums in sweden and norway in 2011. if you look at the assessment guidelines on assessing importance, this article is of mid-importance in WikiProject Albums. Pafcool2 (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
