The rebellious "Jag skiter" ("I Don't Give a Damn") became a smash hit among Swedish youth.

The song "Balladen om 70-talets största rockband" ("The Ballad of the '70s Greatest Rockband") is about a Mott the Hoople concert Magnus Uggla attended in 1971.

The song "Varning på stan" ("Danger Downtown") became Uggla's first hit single and was later recorded in English with the name "Hit the Girls on the Run". Uggla has stated that he was inspired by Mott the Hoople's song "All the Way from Memphis" when he wrote "Varning på stan".

"Jazzgossen" is a Karl Gerhard cover.
