Ievan, with capital I, Polkka. Names are written with capital letters.

[@MaxSujyNorden]

Thank you! I will change title and thumbnail in a sec.

[@StanleyMilgramm]

It amazes me how every channel that reacts to this makes the same mistake. I would have thought that it was obvious that the name is capitalized.

[@somefool4625]

Eve's polka

[@MaxSujyNorden]

How are foreigners supposed to know that Ievan is a name?

[@StanleyMilgramm]

@@MaxSujyNorden You don't have to know that Ieva is a person's name, because song titles are capitalized. Thunderstruck isn't a person's name but it's still capitalized.

There's an earlier recording available of the song: "IEVAN POLOKKA, Matti Jurva ja Ramblers-orkesteri v.1937". Ievan Polkka is a rabbit hole. You can find numerous versions of it. One popular A Cappella version is this one: "TUULETAR - Ievan polkka (Loituma COVER)". Here's one performed with accordion, banjo and a suitcase: "Slack Bird - Ievan polkka". The funny thing is that there are these popular dance remixes of that old Finnish polka song: "Nightcore - Ievan Polkka (VSNS Remix)". Speaking of accordion music, Finnish American Viola Turpeinen was a popular accordionist in the North America: "ELLIN POLKKA (Evan polkka), Viola Turpeinen harmonikkasoolo v.1953". If the subject interests you, here's a documentary relating to her: "Yooper Creoles: Finnish Music in Michigan’s Copper Country". And a video relating to that: "Kaustislainen viulunsoitto - UNESCO-hakemusvideo / Kaustinen Fiddle Playing UNESCO nomination video". Here's one famous Finnish polka with interesting history: "SÄKKIJÄRVEN POLKKA, Viljo Vesterinen ja Dallapé-orkesteri v.1939". A Mad Accordion: "Hullu hanuri (1954 versio)". A Conterfeit Five Bill: "Lasse Pihlajamaa - Väärä vitonen". On The Herring Fishing Waters: "Veikko Lavi - Silakka-apajalla". The Dayton's Monkey Trial: "Pedro's Heavy Gentlemen - Daytonin apinajuttu (feat. Tuomari Nurmio)". And a Summer Evening Waltz: "Veikko Ahvenainen - Kesäillan valssi". The most popular Finnish folk music group is Värttinä. They have made a long career in folk music: " pidzej78 Värttinä - Tupa täynnä tuppasuita" and "Värttinä - Lasetus". One Finnish song and dance, which has gone global, is this one: "Colin Watt Letkajenkka".

OMG first video is so funny 🤣🤣🤣, I had never seen it before, but I was dying

[@timorissanen9570]

Ievan Polkka Korpiklaani. Hard rock version.

[@Gibbetoo]

song name is ievan polkka, i think that capital I messed you up. Ieva = Eva.

[@MaxSujyNorden]

Thank you! I will change title and thumbnail in a sec.

[@Pfaltzgraf]

@@MaxSujyNorden in Finland name ”Eva” is written ”Eeva” and ”Ieva” is Eastern dialect.

[@Morhgoz]

@@Pfaltzgraf Eava is actually more accurate, it just sounds Ieva to non native eastern dialect speaker...

[@VADARENSLILLAPOJK]

Like seeing both of you starting to dance 😂

[@oh2mp]

That is a great Finnish song originally from 1928 which became a meme about 20 years ago. The verses are in strong eastern dialect of Finnish and the chorus is just gibberish.

[@Morhgoz]

Doggos! So many! I couldn't! Too much love towards me! It would be too much!

[@MaxSujyNorden]

12 dogs!!

[@Pfaltzgraf]

It is amazing to hear, as a Finn, how the Japanese sing this song almost perfect way.

[@Spugedelia77]

What? That many dogs? That is just great

[@aksu1234]

I know how to sing it perfectly❤

[@Morhgoz]

Second one is good example of ancient art of Finnish beatboxing....

[@aksu1234]

Im from finland

[@Finkele1]

Rare do know it's from Finland as some Japanese dude did it like 5-10 years ago. So many have done this one...

[@victoreem2]

When the lady in red dress sings (solo) she isnt actually saying anything its just sounds😛

[@Morhgoz]

Not Leva, Ieva aka Eava... Eva is the base form the name, Finnish version is Eeva, in Eastern Dialects Eeva is either pronounced as Ieva ( with i as the first letter) or as Eava.... But not Leva...

[@Stefan-h3d]

You need to react on a video that call Swedish school rugby, on a Chanel call Lundgrenz

[@Heartly07]

Korpiklaani - Ievan polkka missed that version

[@Jantzku]

And the newest, Retropop - Ievan Polkka

[@somefool4625]

So many dogs ❤

[@ahmakki]

No Korpiklaani or hatsune miku?

[@user-ww2fw5ow7v]

This song is sung in Finnish dialect. 😅

[@promealiens9659]

Lumberjack band is part of movie, not real band.

[@tomofasia]

It should probably be said that the lyrics in this song are quite bawdy… If you know what I mean. 😊

[@aksu1234]

Moi kaikki

[@Carl_Gustav_Häyhä]

You should also watch Ievan polkka Tuuletar and Ievan polkka Trump Biden.
