Pasta classic Canneloni, macaroni to be Swedish goal jingle at Olympics in Milan

From Bob Marley to Lasse Holm: When Tre Kronor scores in the Olympics, "Canneloni, macaroni" will be played.

Last year's World Cup goal jingle was based on Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier" with the Swedish translation "oj, oj, oj, oj, oj, oj, oj oj".

In Milan, they will instead flirt with Italian food in Lasse Holm's 1986 song. Holm was also involved in writing "Nu tar vi dem" for the World Cup in Stockholm in 1989.

Johanna Helgesson, events manager at the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, says in a press release: "We think it's super fun to work with Lasse to re-use a classic song that we know everyone recognizes."

"Canneloni, macaroni" will be used by both the Tre Kronor women's and men's teams during the games.
