Kuunkuiskaajat - Työlki Ellää (Finland)

[yaoihousegirl]

how can people dislike this? I love it and I'm American

[Brummelfrosch94]

good song

[ellewi1]

This is absolutely awful. Greetings from Finland!

[tattivalenti90]

oh my, it's adorable!!!! :D

i hate how people who sing traditional songs in their language don't get high points anymore :( FUCK ENGLISH!! only England should be singing in English, i don't see why all other countries should also sing in English.

[ConlangFan]

@tattivalenti90 Everybody understands English, and it's easy to sing in. Many English songs would sound weird on other languages, depending on words.

[tattivalenti90]

@ConlangFan but eurovision is (or used to be) a competition of EUROPE, but now it seems like it's a competition of english-speakers. almost everyone stopped singing in their language. sure it's easy to sing in, but if you want to see a tv program of singing songs in english, there'a already one: "britain's got talent". what sucks is that some people with good songs didn't make it to finals just because of the language. it's not eurovision anymore, it's racistpoliticovision :(

[PurpleGhost]

@ConlangFan - I disagree, while MOST people do understand english, it's always going to be easier to sing in what ever is native to you. Tongue movements in a language to learned in school but don't use every day, no, they aren't going to be simpler.

And things are always lost in translation, english doesn't have enough descriptive words, some times there just isn't a single english word to accurately describe something, making a sentiment more clunky. For this reason english borrows words.

[sherman630]

affful!!!! sorry 

[lenameyerlandrutvevo]

Only 75000 views? Such a great song and it passed in the Semi Final. What a shame..

[Alex4u]

@lenameyerlandrutvevo it didn't pass the semifinal because juries didn't vote for it :(

[tmh726]

gee, those vikings sure can sing!!! :-)

[cRaziiBarbiie]

what the fuck? this isnt modern music.

it looks like my grandparents ;DD

[FarfettilLejl]

@cRaziiBarbiie That's just your opinion. I think it sounds great!

[migselv16896]

This language is just wierd!!!

[FarfettilLejl]

@migselv16896 Weird but absolutely beautiful.

[babubugi]

Tää biisi on aivan kamala... Sai taas hävetä Suomea ja suomea euroviisuis...

[anyaa11]

super..pozdrawiam

[TheReignManSonic]

terrible

[adminn80]

nice girls, but song is... funny)

[xXdoppexX]

I from Finland. ;) I want Finland put better music in 2011 Eurovision :P So get in the final. :O

[Hyp3r309]

I can't believe this didn't make the finals.

[MrLee507]

this song doesnt even have 70,000 views lol

[Alex4u]

@MrLee507 because it's the live perfomance, not the actual video. (i think :p) they look like they are on crack!!! i love the song, though!! it gives me a melancholic feeling somehow.

[V3rciS]

lol I searched this only because I thought they would come up with a nice metal song again... stupid.

Send Insomnium or Children of Bodom.

PS: Even if Finnish hate Russians and slavs in general they have more common with them rather than other Nordic countries.

[skrewster]

This is one of those songs  would fit perfectly, late in the evening in a pub after some pints

[xkxaxlxax]

This is so a like "My Cyganie"

[logamac]

I love this song. Am I the only one?

[annniiinnniiinnniii]

@nadia237

oh, i didn't know.. thank you for this! ;)

[irtaketr]

viulisti on vähän köh köh xD

[MerchantofTarshish]

I miss Terasbetoni and the Waldo's People band from last year!

[Hoffan100]

anywone who understands this??? the swedish girl

[touchtoomuch]

finland is so great! I love the country and the people and of course the language! In my heart finland is the winner every year <3

[antikristee]

This song sounds funny :D

[VonTavast]

Hahah oh man I am so ashamed of my country now.

[MrHeavyhair]

Ei hitsi kävi tasan yht hyvi ku toivoinki! Tilastojen mukaan oltiin koko semifinaalin viimesimmät eli suomeks sanottuna iha perkele nii vikoja ku olla voi :D

[MameluckProductions]

@MrHeavyhair Eivätkös nuo Suomen kommentaattorit sanonu sen finaalin aikana, että Suomi olisi tippunut ensimmäisenä. Eli siis jos finaaliin olisi otettu 1. semifinaalista vielä yksi maa lisää, olisi Suomi ollut se.

[Palmarflexion]

This song, is without doubt, in my top five. Finnish folklore is cool.

More sauna to the people!

Cheers from sweden

[Jalskari]

Parhaimman näköiset esittäjät mitä suomelta on vielä koskaan tullu mut ei kai kukaan tosissaan kuvitellu että tällasella kappaleella pääsee finaaliin saatikka sit voittais...? Jollain perverssillä tavalla jää kyllä päähän soimaan :P

[Aqutalio]

Hyvin meni. ei päästy ees finaaliin xD

[kittycatruxy]

hihi:)).great song

[BloodyBerry55]

Hyvä hyvä SUOMI!

[Aeltalen]

So beautiful language!!! ¡Qué lengua tan hermosa!

UP Finland!! ¡Ánimo Finlandia! from a Spanish friend. De un amigo español.

[punpcklbw]

poop

[SteamFanHannover]

I love it.

[dark1nwytch]

Im not from Finland but I enjoy this song very much! The rythm and their acts make me smile each time I listen to this!

[aijamargit]

Gosh, I agree with all of you who were wondering what on Earth were we thinking when we sent this to esc. :DD

My fave's Serbia! They were great last year too. Sad "Cipela" didn't make it to the final. :(

[liliyyy1]

Beautiful song and language, 12 points from Latvia!

[bakkis61]

What a nice team, beutiful women and handsome men. Highly spirited tune and great fun with the accordion. I hope they win.

[snebbadebba]

fucking ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mkiozipangbuu]

I think not a lot of Finns are that familiar with these two singers. This is just a random side project - Their main project Varttina has been touring the world regularly for a long time, pulling audiences of several hundred thousands at best. It's the biggest 'unknown' musical success story in Finland, found almost 30 years ago. Real World Records ring any bells? Varttina is an iconic band for Finnish folk music. This song has some similar qualities, but it's just a simplified pop-music refit.

[snebbadebba]

@mkiozipangbuu kiss my ass

[mkiozipangbuu]

@snebbadebba Eek. Someone is being mean on the Internet. *cry*

[DarkLeonie]

Love that song. Hope it'll come into the final :) 12 points from Germany

[tommitomaatti1]

Gosh, I'm not proud to be finnish at all at the moment -.- Totally hate this song!! We're SOOO gonna loose this competition mhahahaha

[Aqutalio]

@tommitomaatti1 That's right!! OMG this song -.- The whole Europe will laugh to us because of this! :D

[xCherryAnn]

lol, the woman looked like Phoebe from Friends!

[numarks69]

the winner is PORTUGAL

[Hattukuningas]

i really dont understand how we send this to eurovision, i cant even tell im finnish after this airs. too many old people probly but still im embarrassed

[SiK8309]

a friend of mine called this song a "pixie polka" - true, isn't it? ;)

Greets and good luck, finnish elfs!

[matthoenn]

I love this song. If you dont like it, get off this video and dont comment. Really, its just pathetic. 12 points from Australia.

[junkheadinfection]

they must've gone astray. i believe they wanted to go to a beauty competition. and now they went from finland to norway with strangely nothing in their traveling bag but some weird plastic crowns and an accordion.

[Knurr83]

hahaha...what the heck is that?

[smiffe1]

Give us back lordi!

[coolpacman]

Omg, -999999999999999 points from me -.-

[52baldur]

Ratatatata, Babuschka, tralalala! What the hell! 0 points. This sucks really! Perhaps 12 points from Russia and Georgia, but I hope the rest of Europe forget this! Sorry Suomi, greetings from an norjalainen

[maalci]

I'm embarrassed being a Finn... :S This really sucks!!!

[TheAnnOrange]

I like this!!

[NPSGAMES]

One word strange, but still good luck from lithuania, i guess from russia 12 points:D

[VoiSunSaatana]

If Finland would send a metal-band every year, and actually succeed to win a couple of years in a row...soon there would be other countries following the concept. And it wouldn't be new anymore..it would just get a bit boring.

[vehtori]

beatiful girl...

[megafilmlover]

Mukavaa etta meil suomalaisilla on koko kanavan huonoin soundi videossa...on kuin tynnyrin pohjalta tulisi :(

[jbirgelis]

sounds like a typical folk song... not bad

[akibrokstas009]

I am sorryy but.. the Lithuania looks much better..XD

Watch this:

InCulto - Eastern European Funk (Official video)

[rokuliukas]

OMFG

[lucerolives1]

UFFFFFFFFFFF,NO COMENT.

[Cuteboyp]

This is terrible to tell the truth,, this is a Song Contest! You can always count on Finland to bring the most funniest or unusual act to the ESC.

[director2555]

i love it when they say barlaoua and ripastoun lol

[matthoenn]

@director2555 They are actually saying Ma laulan (I sing) and Rikastuu (I am not sure what that means.)

[director2555]

Well i will vote it cause its funny but i cant guarantee anything lol

8 points from Greece cause 10 points goes to Armenia and 12 points goes to Sweden

[TwiIight0ne]

Good luck with reaching anything else but last place.

[Priam88]

[strikerRomania]

I'm sure you will like Romanian Official Video for Eurovision 2010.Watch my channel for it.

[Eightiesguy999]

This song is TOO GOOD for Eurovision.

Europeans only vote the trashiest songs.

[bowtown]

@Eightiesguy999 I don't think so - too good for Eurovision?Lol!

[Olga32555]

[Origin17]

Schlager auf Finnisch ^^

Nicht mein Musikgeschmack...

[SpanishHunkyGuy]

Hahaha xD

[Luckasta3]

"Milanomania" starts invadig Europe" !!!! Read on eurovision tv :)))) Great, Serbia !!!! :)))

[NablaOperatorius]

These guys are really having fun on the stage! And they are singing Finnish! I like that very much and I will definitely vote for you! That's how the ESC song has to look like - own language, own culture and own beauty!

[ElitePortugal]

[ElitePortugal]

Very Catchy! I like It. 8 Poins from Portugal

[niki89m]

Kiitos Suomi for this song... It sounds so great live... I posted a "my top 10" video and this song is number one... Thank you, Finland for sending a song which is not a europop trash, but a real song with real music... And finns, send more songs on finnish, your language sounds great.

Love and kisses from Bulgaria ;)

[XaNeverEndingDreamX]

what does 'Työlki Ellää' mean?

can someone translate?

[t0niperkele]

@XaNeverEndingDreamX "One can work for a living, too" or something like that :D

[sarynne]

@XaNeverEndingDreamX They sing "työlki ellää mut kaupal rikastuu" which is nicely sarcastic and means roughly the following: you can live if your work but if you wanna be rich, do business. ;-)

[tFighterPilot]

Nice to hear some authentic Finish music rather than the usual "international" stuff.

[noxus1988]

I'm not saying that this is bad, but come on Finns! You have some of the WORLD'S BEST metal bands in your country and you send this ? how sad :(

[sarynne]

@noxus1988 Well the world's best metal bands don't wanna do ESC... And besides, where does it say that metal is all we should send? Everyone else can send folk but we can't? Double standards much?

[noxus1988]

@sarynne nightwish wanted to do ESC but you made them fail in the national qualification! that was outrageous

[sarynne]

@noxus1988 True, what happened to Nightwish with the voting/judging stuff that year was crap. But I personally am glad they didn't get to ESC with that boooring song. And ask Nightwish now, they wanna do ESC? THINK NOT.

[OoFriederikeoO]

Aja nicht so mein musikgeschmack...:D

[snoopywoopydoopy]

haha OMG this sucks bad xD

[t0niperkele]

Yeah! Why this video has still bad quality? I don't think it would be hard to bring this video with good sound! Or had YLE a lot of problems with sending this song to you?

[harryausdemharz]

My Top Ten:

Poland, Armenia, Finland, France, Slovakia, Slovenia, Moldova, Latvia, Serbija and Spain.

Don't forget to vote Lena from Germany.

[badajod]

@harryausdemharz you have no idea!

[harryausdemharz]

@badajod Sorry, I don't understand your comment. Regards.

[GRAHAM2109]

Why was the other video of this made private?

[1cecr1me]

[redneckalivese]

[Loveastara]

Not my VERY favorite. I liked Finland's song in 2009 more, but that's me.

Still, great song! 8D Very catchy!

[sethjuh12]
