Den döende dandyn ("The dying dandy") is a 1986 album from Swedish pop and rock artist Magnus Uggla. The album was awarded a Rockbjörnen award in the category "Swedish record of the year".

Contents

Den döende dandyn is also the name of a notable painting by Nils Dardel, which in 1984 famously had been bought by financier Fredrik Roos for what was then a record price for a Swedish painting.

"Herr servitör" is a cover of Nick Gilder's "Worlds Collide", with new unrelated lyrics in Swedish.

The song "Joey Killer" mocks the glam metal subculture, which gained much popularity during the middle to late 1980s.
