The country that contributed Ingrid Bergman, Stieg Larsson, and IKEA to the world's cultural landscape has made yet another offering for us to enjoy.

This time, a group of Swedish Marines stationed in Afghanistan performed what some are calling a sexy version of the song ""Greased Lightnin'" from the musical "Grease."

The video has already garnered more that 71,000 views since it was posted on YouTube a few days ago.
