    When you are performing in a huge multinational competition where you are singing in a language less than one percent understand, in this case Finnish, you need a catchy chorus and flamboyant costumes. Käärijä had these Eurovision Song Contest elements in spades. It was a crowd favourite.

    Käärijä is known to take his top off on gigs (he gets hot, I guess), so they designed a bolero, that he didn't have to take off. He wanted a bright colour and has worn yellow before, but that could not be used for Eurovision, as last year the Finnish entry, The Rasmus, wore yellow. The design was also reflecting the boxing theme of the official video (where he fights his own demons, but eventually his feminine side wins the fight when he feels more free).

    I would say the genre is Techno-Metal. Very disco-sounding, indeed haha
    Käärijä is a rapper actually. He has some extremely sick tracks, you might wanna check them out. I recommend Siitä viis, Välikuolema and Paidaton riehuja

    I think the costume choice is cause it's a huge contrast to the darkness in the beginning of the song.
    He starts off alone in a dark box, and when he has had some drinks he dares to join the "happy, colourful dancers".
    That is my guess.
    The song is about drinking alcohol/partying and coming out of your shell. From being introverted to daring to let loose.

    The dancers are cha cha dancers. That thing he is wearing is a wrestling costume that he wore in the music video. And they used pallets in the staging because "pallet" in finnish is called "eurolava" which can also be translated to "euro stage." (lava=stage) So he is performing on "euro stage" on the stage of Eurovision.😅 In the original performance it was only pallets and they added the box for the final performance

    Cha Cha Cha, as in the dancing. Also, it's used to talk about chugging alcohol and doing shots. It's all about overcoming anxiety by drinking and then, letting yourself go. The colours are the internal sense of fun and, I guess, being mischievous haha

    @nocturnalcove9736 Рік тому +10

    I mean yes, it is utter nonsense and silly but at the same time I don't think us finns have ever been so unanimously behind an artist going to the ESC. It was just about having fun in a time where there hasn't been a lot of that lately. I love Käärijä for bringing pure happiness back to the Eurovision.❤

    Well, I came across some interpretation of the song and its performance, that opening the box symbolises releasing supressed desires of a person, who is a brutal man, working in a warehouse, but wants to have fun and look less stereotypically manly and more glamish on his weekend and does it when having this time finally.

    [Verse 1]
    This exhausting week and the 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
    [Chorus]
    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 to 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
    [Verse 2]
    A couple piña coladas I have devoured
    Yet the expression I have on my face is sour
    Yeah, yeah, ye, ye, yeah
    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'
    [Chorus]
    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

    [Post-Chorus]
    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
    [Bridge]
    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
    [Post-Chorus]
    I head towards dance floor
    Like a cha, cha, cha
