"Fiskarna i haven" (in English: "The Fish in the Sea") is a song written by Staffan Hellstrand and recorded by Idde Schultz for the 1995 album, Idde Schultz.[1] It peaked at number-one in Sweden and number 10 in Norway. It was given the Rockbjörnen award in the "Swedish song of the year 1995" category.[2]
The song was released as a single the same year.[3]
On 9 September 1995, the song entered Trackslistan, only to be knocked out the upcoming week.
The song was recorded by Väder-Annika acting as B-side for the 1996 single "Uteliggardjuren" ("Blame it on the Bossa Nova").[4] At Smurfhits 1 from 1996 it was called "Smurfarna i haven".[5]
Music & Media wrote about the song: "A moody pop ballad that despite its Swedish-language lyrics, could find a spot on EHR playlists. The catchy tune is wrapped in an atmospheric and economic production that makes it highly suitable for daytime play."[6]
