" Yeh, Why Not" (1978)

Jag skiter is a song written by Magnus Uggla and recorded by himself on the album Va ska man ta livet av sig för när man ändå inte får höra snacket efteråt in 1977.

The song lyrics encourage not to just listen to what other people think about someone, and also tackles the adult society's requests from the adult world. The song caused controversy, though Magnus Uggla himself said he didn't understand why, since the song was written in a humorist way, based on a joke he'd ridden in a [[Nisse Strix] issue], ("de säger att jag skiter i allt, men det skiter jag i!").

In 2003 the song was recorded by Grynet, releasing it as a single peaking at second position at the Swedish singles chart. This version replaced the lines De är bögar allihopa with De är puckon allihopa.
