There was a punk band in Sweden in the late 70s called Raid who needed a singer. A vocalist from a band called ÅHMHS (Åt Hell Me Hela Skiten) joined and brought his guitarist with him forming a new band called Grannarna Klagar (Complaining Neighbor). They played hardcore noisy punk but eventually started experimenting with ska, reggae, disco, and funk.
They shortened their name to Grannarna before recording this single and the band broke up shortly after it was released. It didn't become very well known outside of their local scene. Maybe that's because whenever the band was asked about their record they lied about the title of the record and the songs which they later admitted wasn't the greatest marketing strategy.
They attempted several times to regroup but it never happened.
This is the only studio recording the band ever made but you can hear some of their live songs as well as some songs from drummer Kari Sjoblom's side projects HERE.
A - Hissen
B - Olle
Olle is a cautionary song about drugs, and Hissen has something to do with an elevator.

Now that I'm home at the weekend and have nothing better to do, here's an
excellent compilation and I'm quoting the band bio from the band's own
homepage...
