Lyripippi

Lyripippi: noun. A song created by Astrid Lindgren for her famous character Pippi Longstocking to sing in the various books written about her. Scientists from the University of Uppsala have concluded that in total Lindgren wrote and composed the music for 37 different lyripippis. It is thought that Lindgren loved the character so much that she attempted to bring her to life with a combination of voodoo and incantations, where these incantations became what is nowadays known as lyripippis.
