Finland?? Really?? These guys are from my area in So. California. They're a looong way from home here!

Do Fins even speak/understand English? I'm not asking to be sarcastic -- I'm genuinely curious.

Love Ozzie's guitar solo on this one. He pretty much nailed it. Back in their heyday in the mid-80s, Michael played guitar on this too. He'd play rhythm behind the beginning of Oz's solo, then do a harmony lead part with him towards the end of the solo. The twin guitar attack was great,

Yes. Almos all Finns do speak english. We start to study it when we are 8 or 9 yr. As Bob Hartman of Petra said here: "We were in Spain, Italy, France etc and nobody undersood us. It's nice to be here in Finland cause you guys went to school! You undersand all we said". Well, of couse some speak better and some weeker. My English grade was 5 of 10 in high shcool, so I wasn't a top studen.

@FinnStrype

That's interesting. I had no idea you all study English as kids. Learning two languages at the same time during childhood is impressive.

Here in the U.S., most of us study Spanish as our second language. But most of us don't use it much outside the classroom. Do Finns use it in everyday conversation or mostly in school (and YouTube *grin*)?

Thanks for the info & for uploading this video.

Actulaly we study also Swedish (it's compulsory too), because it's second offical language of Finland but most of people speak much better English than Swedish. Younger people speak better English than older people. You hear it on radio and tv every day and use it in Internet. Otherwise we don't need it unless you know foreign people. I think many do.

Other languages that many study as voluntary are Germany, France or Russian.

Sleigh bells ring

Are you listening

In the lane

Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

[kilothekiller]

Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland.
