    This is my favourite this year. While it may seem crazy and weird on the surface, the lyrics and composition are actually genius. The first half of the song is about someone who is introverted and closed going to have a few drinks. Then as the music changes to the pop part he has had enough alcohol to become extroverted and be someone different to his everyday self.

      I just posted the English translation of the song and the lyrics are written by Käärijä himself. It tells about his low selfesreem and how he chamged. So there is a true story in the song.

    the Finns have a particular brand of weird that can surprise because initially they appear introverted and serious. this song allmost won and the finnish song that actually won the eurovision song contest about 10 years ago was by a very particular metal band, Lordi, very surprising perfomance too. but i was especially proud that this song was in Finnish, not in English.

    This is the Eurovision Songcontest at its best. 😊 Singing in your own language, having fun and making a nice show of your song. And it's catchy. I love to see you smiling. Most of Europe did the same and voted for him. Sadly the votes from the juries of all the participating countries together have a 50% share in the final outcome. So Finland did'nt win while a massive majority of Europeans voted for CHA CHA CHA. 😢

    unlike English, Finnish is consistent in spelling. The a in the word English MAN is completely different from the a in CAR. The first is formed in the mouth and the second is formed in the throat. The dots over the letter tell you to pronounce it in the mouth. Finland does not have the sound of J as in JIG or G as in George. The letter J is pronounced like the Y in Yellow (not the Y in City). English is not consistent in mapping sounds to letters. Finnish is. So yes, you absolutely can pronounce käärijä. You just need to learn something.

  • @hauskalainen

    Drinking Pina Colada loosens his inhibitions to get up and dance. His dance skills are lacking in reality. But who cares? Many who get up and sing karaoke cannot sing either (me included) but it's the thought that counts.

  • @realityisblurred3330
    @realityisblurred3330 Рік тому +19

    Cliffnotes: The As with the umlauts sounds like Ahs, the J is like a Y and you enunciate/strees syllables at same strength in Finnish so his name is pronounced kah ree yah

    • @mapppkyc6698
      @mapppkyc6698 Рік тому +3

      A with the umlauts is more like the word "hand" which we would spell as "händ" if it was a Finnish word. Without the umlauts the letter is closer to how you described it ("star" for example), no exceptions. In our alphabet we actually treat A and Ä like they're two altogether different letters.
      You were completely correct with the letter J though! No exceptions to that either.
      Also double letter means it's a longer sound, especially noticeable when it's a vowel. And boy we do like to use our vowels!

    You should start pronouncing the name "Käärijä" like the word "cash" in english. In fact "käärijä" means "the one who wraps" and it is nickname given to this dude by his friends because he was always winning the card games and so "wrapping" the cash from the table.

    This exhausting week and many long days are behind
    There's only bar and piña colada on my mind
    There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
    This icy shell is something I have to demolish
    Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
    No, there's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
    No, wanna mess my head up and free my mind of fear like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
    And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a...
    A couple piña coladas I have devoured
    Yet the expression I have on my face is sour
    Yeah yeah ye ye yeh
    There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
    This icy shell is something I have to demolish
    The floor is calling me when I'm no longer so frozen
    Like a cha cha cha I am approachin'
    Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
    No, there's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
    No, wanna mess my head up and free my mind of fear like a
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no
    And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a...
    I head towards dance floor like a cha cha cha
    And this world ain't making me scared no more
    Like a cha cha cha when champagne all over myself I pour
    Cha cha cha one eye keeps turning crossed too far
    And talking is so hard when this different side of me does its part
    Cha cha cha I don't usually go and drop my guard, not me
    But now I am that guy, now I am that guy
    I head towards dance floor like a cha cha cha
    And this world ain't making me scared no more
    Like a cha cha cha when champagne all over myself I pour
    Like a cha cha cha
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha aa-aah
    Like a cha cha cha
    Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha

    The sad thing about this is that Finland has many excellent musicians and songwriters, all of whom can write a tune but for some Godforsaken reason they prefer to put forward trash like this instead in most years. Perhaps the judges are all pissed as well. Blame Lordi (2006), they started it. If this song had beaten Loreen it would have been an utter travesty.
