At the time, it was one of The favorites to win In the Eurovision too!

I was an early teenager at those times but I hum the song from time to time till now because the tune has stuck in my mind.

One of the best songs in the 90's...

The beggining is spectacular, I like so much.....

2:27 - 2:47 The most epic bridge ever performed in Eurovision - more chord progressions like this please!! Then leading into a sudden modulation for the final chorus. The geek in me is overjoyed 😍😍

Yeah, it is w weird bridge alright... Just wondered the same, F# to C... and would expect it to go to C# or some complementary but it takes a tritone jump to modulate it. A friend of mine wrote it.. well, friend is maybe too big of a word but small town has small music circles. Did a few recordings in his studio, he was a good man. Died a few years ago from cancer.

itse olen suomalainen ja olen seurannut euroviisuja noin 40:n kymmenen vuoden ajan. vuonna 1994 suomen biisi oli erittäin hyvä, tytöt pärjäsivät lavalla hyvin. Mielestäni heidän performanssinssa olisi täytynyt sijoittua kymmenen parhaimman joukkoon. Nyt kun jälkikäteen 2020 kuuntelee ja katselee tätä laulua niin tulee kuitenkin mieleen se, että he jotka eivät tiedä millaista tuolloin -94 ajanhenki oli että arvioinnit pitäisi tehdä ajatellen esiintymisvuotta, vuosikymmentä, lähiaikojen tapahtumia, - me vanhemmat esc fanit varmaankin tiedämme tämän. to love all people. peter.

One of the best entries of Finland in my opinion. But I have to disagree with the statement that a modern popsong can't be presented by a live orchestra. In my opinion a live orchestra - when it does its job well - is always superior to a playback. A playback can never match the atmosphere and the sound of a live performance. Take a look at the Albanian festivali i kenges. Even rap / hip hop songs sound amazing there thanks to the live orchestra when the arrangement is good.

That's one of these Eurovision performances which are super fascinating and quite odd at the same time: Weired choreo which is a bit over the top for this old fashioned song, really strange outfits which have not decided yet if they want to be sexy or granny ... and still, I like it for some strange reason.

This song was too ahead of time!, this song could a better outcome in 1995, 1996 or 1997 with Eurodance sounds.

Virpi (the lady in the green dress) and their costumier designed the costumes but virpi said later that they weren't supposed to look like that.

This song is so catchy and cute but those outfits are simply disastrous

That a modern uptempo song cannot be played live is a strange myth that only live among a portion of Eurovision-fans. All music can be played live if the orchestra/band is put together the right way. In this particular song I agree that the orchestration was not the best, and on top of that the sound engeneer did a bad job.

But it does completely change the record. The actual track is more italodisco which is part of the appeal of the song and gives it a lift that is a bit missing from the orchestral live version. The national final version is much better, its an example of a song really not translating too well to esc, although mainly due to costumes and staging.

Awful outfits, laughable dance, but still a really catchy song. And the finnish language are a cute singing language.

I actually loved this song and, for me, it's Finland's best song, but I still think that there was a mix up in the voting somewhere and the 10 points Finland got from Greece was actually meant for Ireland. If you look at the scoring, Greece is the only jury not to award Ireland any votes.

The song is catchy (studio version), but the performance was completed destroyed. This can blame amateurish Finnish conducter Olli Ahvenlahti, who didn't get (or want) to use backing track. Instead arranged lazy arrangement for local orcherstra, which sounded lame like a breath of the cow.

Actually, Ahvenlahti said that he preferred the nf arrangement. But it depends on the two arrangers which is Lowland and Salli.

But in the Eurovision final (which was rearranged by Lowland and Salli), he was intrigued how the arrangement turned out
