Macken or Mackan (from Irish: Meacan) is a small hamlet and townland in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, off the A509 main Enniskillen to Derrylin road. Once quite a sizeable village it has now dwindled to containing only a few scattered farmsteads.
Macken was the scene of a famous skirmish on the evening of 13 July 1829 between Catholics and Protestants during which four Protestants died. Nineteen Catholics were later charged for their part in the affair. One of them, Ignatius McManus, was hanged and most of the remainder were transported to Botany Bay, Australia.

Macken is a Swedish 6-part musical sit-com that ran on SVT in 1986. It was produced by Galenskaparna och After Shave and was a major breakthrough for the group. Some of the songs from the show became hits on Svensktoppen and a movie was made in 1990.
The title translates as "the mack" with "mack" in this case being common Swedish slang for gas station.
The setup centers around the two brothers Roy and Roger who own a small car garage in an unknown part of the country (the show was shot in Vara). The bulk of the show involves the usually eccentric customers that the pair (but mostly Roy) has to deal with. There is also a subplot where the local government wants to demolish the station to build a new freeway.
The show was shot completely in the studio with no exterior shots. The setting never moves from the interior of the station and aside from a small glimpse when Roy opens the backdoor you never see how the outside looks.
Macken is a hamlet in Northern Ireland.

La primera vez apenas me gustó
fué por la nariz
por no decir que no
que el no es de cobardes
y a los dieciseis
se prueba como es de hondo
el rio con los dos pies
La segunda vez, me fué gustando mas
sentí su poder
su sensación de paz
y a los pocos meses
me empecé a picar
Yo siempre pense que lo podía controlar
lo de dejarlo ya lo he intentado más de una vez
y más de cinco y mas de diez
Pero no hay forma no hay manera
con la mierda del caballo no hay quien
pueda olerla es Meter los pies
Cuando no quedó ya nada que robarles
me empecé a chutar
delante de mis padres
pero me agobiaban
venga a preguntar
Dinos hijo mio: que es lo que hemos hecho mal
lo de dejarlo ya lo he intentado más de una vez
y más de cinco y mas de diez
Pero no hay forma no hay manera
con la mierda del caballo no hay quien pueda
Si estas enganchao
te quedan dos de dos
robar pa comprar
o venderla y sisar
Y las dos terminan antes o después
con el culo roto y el sida en Carabanchel
lo de dejarlo
lo de dejarlo.
