This article is partly or fully translated from the Swedish Wikipedia article.

"Tingaliin" (full title "Tingaliin (Russian Bass-Lovers Remix)"), is song performed by among others the Swedish comedian Henrik Dorsin, who says it aims at showing common Swedish prejudices towards Russia. The song caught severe criticism from Russian embassy in Stockholm for its image of Russia.

"Tingaliin" was the last of the series of Tingeling songs performed by Dorsin at the intermissions of the Melodifestivalen 2009 in preparation to Eurovision Song Contest 2009 scheduled to be organized in Moscow. "Tingaliin" is a Russian version of the Tingeling song, credited to P-Bros featuring DJ Trexx & Olga Pratilova. It reached the top of the Swedish Singles Chart on 27 March 2009 and stayed for 4 weeks at the top of the charts.

"Tingaliin", the Russian version, was designed as the final entrance in Melodifestivalen in Stockholm of the "Tingeling" series. The Russian segment consisted of a pre-recorded sketch followed by a musical anthem performed on-stage.
