(Åh) När ni tar saken i egna händer is a song written by Henrik Wikström and Kent Olsson. The song was performed by After Dark at Melodifestivalen 2007, participating in the semifinal in Gävle on 24 February 2007, as it reached the second voting round before getting knocked out of competition. The song lyrics mentions television persons Martin Timell, Tina Nordström, Bosse "Bildoktorn" Andersson and Ernst Kirchsteiger, who also appeared over a widescreen TV during performance. On 28 February 2007, the single was released.
The song is ripe with sexual innuendo along with name drops of various Swedish TV show hosts, with the title being a homophone to Onani, ta saken i egna händer.
The song also charted at Svensktoppen, entering on 18 March 2007,[1] but remained in the chart for only one week.[2]
