"Teddybjörnen Fredriksson" (Fredriksson, the Teddy bear) is a Swedish children's song by Lasse Berghagen who wrote it in 1969 for his 3-year-old daughter Malin.[1] It's one of Berghagen's most famous songs. Many Swedish schools and pre-schools sing it and it has been voted as the most popular children's song[according to whom?]. The song is about a person whose father gave him a teddy bear as birthday present when he was four years old and when he was married and got a four-year-old daughter, he gave her a teddy bear, carrying a family tradition further. This song made Berghagen famous among children, and the real "Teddy bear Fredriksson" is locked in a booth at Leksaksmuseet in Stockholm.
The song charted at Svensktoppen on 21–28 December 1969, with positions 9 and 10.[2]
A cover was made of the song by the swedish singer Petra Marklund for the scandinavium edition of the album Love CPR
