**Streaplers** is a [Swedish](/source/Sweden) [musical group](/source/Musical_group),[1] founded 1959 in [Kungälv](/source/Kung%C3%A4lv) as a [pop](/source/Pop_music) group and later developed into a [dansband](/source/Dansband).

The group made a breakthrough with *Säkkijärven Polka* in 1963. Hit songs such as *Diggety Doggety*, "[Mule Skinner Blues](/source/Mule_Skinner_Blues)" and *Rockin' Robin* followed. Singer Gert Lengstrand left the group in 1966, and was replaced by [Curt](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Curt_Borkman&action=edit&redlink=1) Borkman. Since then the band began development towards playing dansband music. Robert Löfvendahl became the new singer in 1969. The same year, the band had a [Svensktoppen](/source/Svensktoppen) number one hit with "Tusen öars land". In 1970, Ove Pilebo began as singer and Streaplers became one of Sweden's most popular dansbands, with 225 concerts. As a dansband, they had many Svensktoppen hits, like "Valentino", "[Va' har du under blusen, Rut?](/source/Va'_har_du_under_blusen%2C_Rut%3F) ", "[Jag har en dröm](/source/I_Have_a_Dream_(song))" and "[Till min kära](/source/Till_min_k%C3%A4ra)", which during the period 1995-1997 was on the list for 73 weeks, 22 of the hits made first place.
