Musical career Ramel's songs are noted for their humor and drastic wordplay. He has written at least one song in English, "The Sukiyaki Syndrome", about a visit in a Japanese restaurant. His first hit was in 1944 with his song "Johanssons boogie-woogie-vals" (Johansson's boogie voogie waltz). Other songs include: "Tjo va de va livat i holken i lrdags" (Whoopee what it was bustle in the birdhouse at Saturday), "Sorglsa brunn" (Light-hearted well, a play on the real Ramlsa), "Karl Nilsson", "Jag diggar dig" (I dig you), "Varfr r dr ingen is till punschen? "(Why is there no ice in the Punsch?), "Det skulle aldrig delfinerna gra" (That would never the Dolphins do), "De sista entusiasterna" (the last fanatics). Knppupp In 1952 Ramel and Felix Alvo started the company Knppupp AB. The Knppupp vaudevilles became a Swedish amusement for many years. The first Knppupp was named "Akta Huvet" (Take care of the head) because Povel came in a cableway from the roof to the vaudeville. The show opened at the Cirkus theatre in Gothenburg in 1952. Knppupp AB also produced some movies, for example "Ratataa" in 1956. Povel Ramel also made several krogshower (pub-shows), for example KaRamelodier (Karameller means sweets, RAMEL is Povel's last name and melodier means melodies). The Karamelodiktstipendiet Ramel etablished the Karamelodiktstipendiet in 1983, a prize annually awarded to a Swedish entertainer or group of entertainers.

The award is personally awarded by Ramel, who reads a short humorous poem written for the occasion.
