I read that three weeks before this performance the TV producers of the UMK show flagged that they thought the choreography "lacked Käärijä" ... so - Käärijä not being a dancer - he had to come up with something simple yet visually interesting on the hoof (no pun intended!). And thus was created the _Piggy Train_ (Finnish children's fairground ride ... NOT AT ALL, allegedly, a Dutch horror movie reference) - while the dancers picked up and threw the glitter that was on the floor (nice touch!), the Conga Line / Letkajenkka and the what I'll describe as a Sailor's Jig (because no one else seems to have a name for that pumping arm with the sideways step). All a great, fun spectacle and FAB-U-LOUS 🥳. I agree Eric's reaction to the - a-hem - Piggy Train ride was funny as heck 😂

So, in short the song tells the story of a man who after a long arduous week goes to the bar, has a couple (lots) piña coladas and is finally able to let go of his natural (Finnish) shyness and dance. I am from Finland, love this song and relate so hard, even though I would not regularly listen to this kind of stuff. Käärijä refers to the style as party metal, which I think fits.

Finland frequently send rock songs of various types to ESC, and sometimes do very well with them. In fact even though ESC is normally for much more mainstream pop, two rock songs have won ESC before: "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by Lordi for Finland in 2006, and "Zitti E Buoni" by Måneskin for Italy in 2021. Both great songs and well worth a watch.

@Garbox80

Жыл бұрын

And with Måneskin, Finland had our second best result ever at 6th. With nu-metalish Blind Channel (they don't think themselves to be nu-metal, but party metal or something... but I say it's quite nu-metalish). I think ESC needed the refreshment Lordi gave them. After that it started to slowly change and it wasn't just pop (or "art" music for France usually) anymore. The last few years have been great actually, a wide variety of styles (most still pop, but still very different with each other). And mostly great performers too.

You're closer with that german techno song that you mentioned than you might think. Käärijä has mentioned that Rammstein are one of his favorite bands, and imo you can see that influence. Also, he said in the same interview that Cha Cha Cha was chosen for the lyrics because it was something everyone could sing. Everyone can Cha Cha, which is a smart move with a song contest. You can hear the crowd yelling CHA CHA CHA during those parts along with the song

I love this!! Kaarija ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And to add background: While Eurovision Song Contest sometimes has songs in it that would work on rock radio, like the winning track by Lordi: Hard Rock Hallelujah that was a very good hard rock song, there's strong camp aspect to it these days and it's a show, not just a song. And then people in all participating countries, dozens of them, vote and every country has equal amount of votes on the scoreboard. This means your song needs to have something that entertains people all around the Europe and is catchy enough that people will remember it out of the dozens of contestants, sometimes with only one of two listens. So like Eric correctly observed, it's quite a different game than songs that have to stay fresh for hundreds of listens.

The theme of it is Super gone over in every possible way so ok it might not be bs but it's basically ok, it just simply isn't doing That much. It's written and half presented in pretty much in rap form, with the theme it's not really hard to write a song like that. There is myriad of party rap songs written as good technically or emotion wise, it's basic stuff. In finland making actually witty rap with substance isn't viable in terms of money (there is that rap, people just don't support it or sees it somehow dirty or something, so in last 10 years it has been less and less of it). It's a party song rather than something to enwoke very deep emotions or be many layered in what it is saying. It might not be bs but it's fine, ok. They are not some masterpiece lyrics, many writers who write party songs.. because as I said that's what sells in finland can do lyrics like this with a left-hand. Then if you are in a bigger label artists have time and time again said afterwards how so many songs they put time and effort were not able to be released because the label wanted just that simple funfun or party rap. Perfect example is howTeflon Brothers actually became to be as a joke, then a big thing and they all have very openly said how it was made just to make money and the songs are written in minutes because it's minimal portion of their skillset. All done because the actual solo releases with much more layered and complex lyrics and flow wasn't picked up by others than fin-rap fans. So yeah. That's pretty much how it is.

First of all. Eurovision song contest is just so crazy. There are two kind of songs that are sent there: pathetic or funny and catchy. This is Finland when we won the very first (and so far last) time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXWcm7CLd7HOhbg.html This Käärikäs specific piece of "art" tells a story about a shy boy, who has done a hard week at work, goes to a bar, has a few drinks, just lets it go and partys through the night untill he passes out 😂

Fair play to you - I was actually expecting you to tear it down (which it deserves in other contexts). It's Eurovision and it's perfect for that format. As you say, just catchy enough to win.

Tanks a lot. You remind me of those good old style 70s disc jockeys on Radio Luxembourg. I used to listen that radio channel in summer nights here in Finland when I was a teenager. Those were the most wonderful summers in my life. But where is the Peter Stuyvesant cigarrettes show? 🙂Your reaction to Käärijä's Cha Cha Cha seems to be one of the most real and honest ones and i think you are a good music wizard. Cheers from Finland!

Greetings from finland! And keep up good work! Love nightwish

I was at a karaoke bar last Friday, on my birthday, and heard this song twice during the night. The singers were part of some theater group having a night out and they were SO entertaining! And the song worked so much better like that than listening it at home or in the car. Käärijä translates to "wrapper" (as in, someone who wraps something). Which I find kinda funny, because he's a rapper. I also hear some Neue Deutsche Härte in there, like Rammstein, especially in the beginning.

You have an Offspring record signed in the background and you're giving Finland attention by reacting to this song. I'm a huge Offspring fan and a finn, so you earned yourself a subscriber. By the way as of writing this I haven't even watched the video yet.

Good job 😂 You stayed serious looking longer than most.

it's funny you said "but I'm that guy" at 9:52 because that is what he sings at the end of the bridge, "tänään oon se mies", basically normally I'm shy, but tonight, "I'm that guy" :)

In the UK 'Cha' is an informal word for tea. (originally Chinese Chá) So he is singing about tea, tea, tea. 😂

Thanks for this! Excactly, it´s catchy and fun. You wondered about the lyrics. As 99 Luftballons was actually very poetic, it was art, in it´s amazingly talented guitarist-writers surrealistic anti-war lyrics (and a melody + a voice that almost had the whole 80´s in its heart) this is about DRINKING...erm...and having fun, not caring about tomorrow. So two totally different tales and songs BUT the catchiness and - loving life - is there in both songs. This is to me sooo silly, but catchy and a batshit crazy show but it really is the point as well, this is Eurovision. Thank you so much for this video, much appreciated.

Es el ganador, lo tengo claro desde el mes de Febrero.

nightwish army checking in, catchy yes! not really one for my playlist , but was fun!

Involuntary positive reaction! I thought I would hate that song, but it keeps buzzing in my brain. And it is ok, I hope for the win, as I'm a Finn. Once again, greetings from Helsinki, Finland, and thank You for the reaction! "It's crazy. It's party!"

I think you mean MO-DO? Band where I thougt long time Arnold was saying those lyrics😋. Thanks your great reaction, again.

Really liked the analysis

Wow your voice is so familiar and radiophonic

The song made 2nd place in the Eurovision final!

Basically it's already the third song of this year's Eurovision Song Contest you reacted to: Lord of the Lost will also participate with "Blood & Glitter" for Germany. ;-)

Great comments. With the laugh and foot-tap. That is a true.

Thanks to who send The link🎉

WOW!!

It's crazy, it's party!!💪

EPIC!

Oh dear. I somehow knew you would have reaction like this. But still, it kinda surprised me 😅

The one thing I thought the entire time was that you were unironically smiling most of the time. That is part of what makes music... music

Wow😊

I love facepalm earlier and the expression on "what do you want me to do with this?!" just.. just embrace it, go with the flow lol. :D We're gonna fcking win! XD

I hope this man will react to more Eurovision 2023 songs .....because I like his reaction and voice ♥. Btw. the "Eurovision Song Contest is est. 1956 and still running. The 3 shows (2 semi-finals + 1 grand final) are watched via TV by 188 million people and many more worldwide via stream. The Eurovision Song Contest (French: Concours Eurovision de la chanson), sometimes abbreviated to ESC and often known simply as Eurovision, is an international song competition organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), featuring participants representing primarily European countries. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, transmitted to national broadcasters via the EBU's Eurovision and Euroradio networks, with competing countries then casting votes for the other countries' songs to determine a winner.

Thank you from Finland ❤❤

Believe it or not. for me this song is my ESC 2023 favorite together with the Austrian one. But of course, I am talking about the sog, not the visuals / show. Of course behind my mates from Lord of the Lost with "Blood and Glitter" :-)

The silly dancing got me. Awesome.

Thanks from🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

2nd place won the most peoples vote. Judges didn't agree sadly.

The look on your face was priceless. What have I got myself into! Obviously not your kind of music, but I think you were fair.

Sometimes its better not knowing the meaning of the words. He is a true entertainer. Well done 🎉

In that case, I think you should react to ALL (I believe it's roughly 30-35 songs?) the 2023 entries into the Eurovision contest!

Ha-ha! That is *some* gauntlet to be throwing down!

Käärijä means something like a roller. He got the nick from his friends for doing online gambling. His favorite band is Rammstein. The pallets on stage refers to a straining job. The dancers symbolizes the alcohol he needs in order to put the workweek behind him and to be able to connect with himself and to have fun on the dance floor. He literately got high on alcohol on the stage and rode with it.

Ah yes, Kharidja. Probably the best pronounciation I've heard since Karza.

Great analysis, it came a close 2nd so very nearly won.

the song you talked about was, modo- ein zwei

The song you were referring to is Eins Zwei Polizei by Mo-Do
