| Jydevals aka Fryd dig ved livet, Fyn:

Provenance: Wilhelm Stahl attributes the tune to Swiss composer Hans Georg Nägeli, 1794, and notes that "it was a popular and wide-spread sing-along tune and still sung today" [at time of writing]. The theme was used by Johann Strauss Jr. in his Waltz op. 340. The song is also sung by actress Eva Dahlbeck in Ingmar Bergman's movie Sommarnattens leende (Smiles of a summer night).
