"Ganjaman 2015" is a song by Swedish DJ and producer Alfons. The song was made for the russ from Røyken in 2015. The song was first released on YouTube on October 10, 2014, [2] before being released as a single on February 11, 2015. The song became a big hit in Sweden, peaking at number 2 on the Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish singles chart. It also charted on the top 10 on the Danish and Finnish singles charts, as well as peaking at number 1 on Poland's Airplay New chart.
The song's lyrics are about the "Ganjaman", a man dealing in ganja and cannabis paraphernelia, who is also described as "the biggest man" from Ace of Base and from Azkaban, [3] a fictitious prison location in Harry Potter. The song's lyrics also contains references to London and Jamaica.
The song was originally made for the russ of a secondary school in Røyken, Norway. [4]
Two music videos were released for the song. The first video, released on YouTube on October 10, 2014, showcases a still image of the titular Ganjaman character in a jungle setting, with a 3D animated monkey and a clip of Snoop Dogg from the " Drop It Like It's Hot" music video dancing next to him. The video has over 117 million views as of March 2021. [5]
The second video, released on May 29, 2015, features a family watching a TV program which is interrupted suddenly by a man warning them about the song Ganjaman, stating that the song will "drive people crazy". The warning broadcast is also interrupted, this time by a video of a disturbing puppet singing the song. The father begins to go crazy and dance around with furniture such as lamps and plants, before walking into a bingo salon where the song also begins playing. Eventually, the father begins partying with the people in the salon. The video has over 15 million views as of March 2021. [6]
