[Intro: Ulf]
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!

[Verse 1: Linn and Jenny]
Maybe he liked to brag
Did he invent himself?
He lives 'til the end of time
Oh, Münchhausen was a son of a gun
He had his share of wild adventures
He rode the cannonball like no other man
He pulled himself up in the air

[Bridge: Ulf]
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!

[Verse 2: Linn and Jenny]
Whether he liked to brag
He lived 'til the end of time
With his immortal lies
Oh
Oh, Münchhausen took a trip to the moon
And beat the sultan and his navy
With a company containing just five
He gunned them down just by himself

[Middle 8: Jonas]
Such a special man, baron Münchhausen
He spread chaos around the world

[Bridge: Ulf]
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!

[Bridge: Ulf]
Just chaos!
Just chaos!
Just chaos!

[Outro: Linn, Jenny, & Ulf]
Ooh (Just chaos!)
Maybe he liked to brag (Just chaos!)
Did he invent himself (Just chaos!)
He lives 'til the end of time
Oh (Just chaos!)
Maybe he liked to brag
Did he invent himself (Just chaos!)
He lives 'til the end of time
Just chaos!

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
