9	Caramell was a Swedish musical group, formed by singers Katia Löfgren and Malin Sundström and producers Jorge "Vasco" Vasconcelo and Juha "Millboy" Myllylä. The band disbanded in 2002 after producing two albums.
10
11	They are best known online for the internet phenomenon known as "[[JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid Caramelldansen]]", a looping Flash animation showing anime characters Mai and Mii from the Japanese visual novel ''Popotan''. The animation includes a sped-up version of the song "Caramelldansen," which means (if spelled with a 'K' and not a 'C') "The Caramel Dance," from Caramell's ''Supergott'' album. A sped-up version of the whole album was later released. Having taken off as an Internet meme, the popular Caramelldansen animation has been duplicated with characters from various anime and video game series, among others. Malin Sundström has also appeared as female vocals for the song "I Love the 90's" by Dr Alban Vs. {{Music/Haddaway}}.

13	In 2008, the popularity of ''Caramelldansen'' led to the creation of a musical group called "Caramella Girls", though no members of ''Caramell'' are actually part of it. This new group released songs at an usually yearly rate throughout the 2010s, and, in 2020, these songs would be featured in their "debut" album ''Sweet Decade''.
