Vi äro musikanter is a song used when dancing around the Christmas tree and the Midsummer pole. It was written down early in Folklekar från Västergötland (1908-1934), published by Sven Lampa. It is a so-called "mimic song", where the persons singing it can mimic playing the different musical instruments mentioned in the song lyrics.

An early recording was done by Gösta Jonsson and Britt Berg, appearing in a medley of Christmas songs recorded in Berlin in September 1933, and released on a record later that year.[1]
