That explanation is the best I've heard so far. :)

@Bambergen The funny thing is that this song actually is fairly racy. It's a prayer to the Finnish father-god Ukko that he 'Stir the stalwart male and rouse him, Raise the lust for love to raving' until he can't think of anything else or get any sleep unless he 'Got his mouth against her sweet mouth Felt his heart against her bounding'. At the end of the song, they just keep repeating 'raise the lust til it's a-raving!' So it's basically a prayer for horny men. I'm going to learn to sing this.

You sold dans this till you faint. I think Pornopolka dance holds the record of most broken knee's.

there is an underlying beautiful folk rhythm.

It is true that this song, and the dance that accompany it might drive you to strip from the heat and sweat. However that is not the reason for its name. The dance steps has another name which I forgot, but it is referred to as Pornopolka by Live Roleplayers, who have made this their traditional dance, which they named after the song they dance it to: Pornopolka. cont.

The song isn't that much "porno" really. I made a cleanup of the lyrics in three languages on LyricsWiki. The English lyrics was made by the translator to fit with the melody, but it's a bit hard to sing. I love the song and dance, which I learned of in my year attending a LRP school. Watch out though, I've gotten blisters for dancing over two hours before!

It means porn polka. ^^; Hilarious, never heard this before.

I believe the lyrics have to do with lust, but in a very poetic, relatively clean way -the girls are kinda praying that some bolt from the heavens come as a signal to validate their desires for some nordic god. I'm serious.

@RocknRollToBone and some of us achuly know the way to explain how to do it. We love this dance :D Totally strip and fun :p But it is a fun and joyfull song even though i don't know what it means at all ;)

@Mifgan The lyrics might help with the name. Though I agree, the dance is fast paced. :)

@WeirdElf how do you dance to this?! i wanna do it!

By reading the lyrics, and try to get something out of this... You do not seem to be so wrong by joking around! The lyrics seem to describe something intimate in a way an 90 years grand-pa would do in front of a public made of rich man with their child... It is not necessarily fucking but it seem to not be so far away... Lines like "Raise the lust for love to raving" or "Got the lovely dove beside him" or "So he gets no sleep at night time" are present. And, musically, it is a polka.

Not my fav Hedningarna song, but the video is spot on! :-)

Just search for "pornopolkka" on youtube, it's a popular dance at a bunch of Finnish cons, there's a bunch of fairly decent videos on it from them

mudkip loves this

Someone from India will someday copy this. Hopefully.

Это за гранью добра и зла...

+Kuupitin it IS finnish

The song is awesome, I love Hedningarna. The video is a disgrace to the song.

Ignorant people shame the name of good music.
