Day 27 - Finland and Iceland

Finland

Who else?

Spoiler

Not forgetting these jokers. :lol:

 

Iceland

This song has been played to death in the UK on various TV shows and adverts over the last few years but the first time I heard it I thought it was absolutely magical.... and yeah... I still do.

She's a genius.

Day 27  Finland ... where's that? :P

links to English translations are above the videos if you want to know what the songs in Finnish language are about. But I have to say they are pretty direct translations and quite clunky compared how the lyrics work in the Finnish version.

Sara- Yhtenä iltana (During one evening) 

http://lyricstranslate.com/en/yhtenae-iltana-during-one-evening.html

 

Jenni Vartiainen - Missä muruseni on (they butchered the name of the song in English translation so badly I don't even want to write it here.:facepalm:)

Stam1na - Lääke  ( Cure) 

I've seen these guys couple of times during summer music festivals about a decade ago. Funny guys, energetic performers and good musicians. Probably the heaviest  (and least melodic) Finnish band I've listened to.

Hurriganes - Get On 

This is a classic from the 1970's  (and a classic example of bad English pronunciation but I still love the song) 

Spoiler

 

 

And then some better English pronunciation:

22 Pistepirkko - Just a little bit more  

Spoiler
