Va ska man ta livet av sig för när man ändå inte får höra snacket efteråt? (English: Why take one's life when one can't even hear the chat afterwards?) is a 1977 studio album by Swedish pop and rock artist Magnus Uggla. It was made available as his third studio album in September 1977. The song "Jag skiter" ("I Don't Give a Damn") became a smash hit. The song "Balladen om 70-talets största rockband" ("The Ballad of the Greatest Rock Band of the '70s") is about a Mott the Hoople concert Magnus Uggla attended in 1971. The song "Varning på stan" ("Danger Downtown") became Uggla's first hit single and was later recorded in English with the name "Hit the Girls on the Run". Uggla has stated that he was inspired by Mott the Hoople's song "All the Way from Memphis" when he wrote "Varning på stan". "Jazzgossen" is a Karl Gerhard cover. The album was produced by the artist himself and his longtime partner Anders Henriksson. The album was re-released on CD in 1989.
