'Varning p stan' is a song written and recorded by Magnus Uggla for the album 'Va ska man ta livet av sig fr nr man nd inte fr hra snacket eftert' in 1977. He also recorded the song with lyrics in English by Colin Griffin, as "Hit the Girls on the Run". The single peaked at number two on the Swedish singles chart. When played on radio, Sveriges Radio were reported to Radionmnden when some listeners considered the song lyrics being too vulgar and sexist. The English language-version was used in the 1978 film 'En vandring i solen', and the Swedish language original version was used in the 1997 film 'Adam & Eva'.
In 1990, Asta Kask covered the song on the live album 'Sista dansen'. Other covers have been made by Attack and Pugh Rogefeldt, the latter in the third season of 'S mycket bttre'.
Magnus Uggla has later reused lyrical references to the song in others of his songs, like "Stockholms heta ntter" from 'Dr jag r e're alltid bst' in the year 2000 and "Varning p stan enligt Bellman" from 'Den tatuerade generationen' (2004). Magnus Uggla stated that the song was an honest description of the lives of many young guys, but many parents became upset and during evenings, the topic was taken to TV debates.Album lines of Klassiska msterverk, Magnus Uggla, 2002
