If Finland were brought in to write a Folk song for a spaghetti western and they have to sample Zorbas Dance for the song, this is what they would come up with. Yes, the idea of this sounds ridiculous, but did you hear the song?. there is no reasonable explanation for all of the themes I mentioned to go together and there is no reason why this song should be in Eurovision in 2010... unless Finland are taking the p!ss

Finland competed in all but 6 Eurovisions between 1961 and their first win in 2006, thats quite a dry-spell. I think if Finland keep sending stuff like this to Eurovision, then they might go about 4 decades before their next win. This wont win, I dont think it will even come close. I think it will be lucky if it makes the final.

The Best think about Finlands entry this year is the name: Kuunkuiskaajat. I think the only name I have seen this year that is better is from Iceland: Eyjafjallajökull. I love the Nordic countries. I bet their are people freezing their arses off in the north of Europe going:
person 1 'how shall we seek revenge on people in the pleasant climates...'
Person 2 'I know, get them to say 'Eyjafjallajökull' repetitively'
person 1 'what the hell is that meant to mean'
Person 2 'I don't know but we will tell them it is the name of Edgar's glacier.'

In 1963, Hula-hoops were not only a fun toy, but great stage decor. It was also the first time Finland finished last (something they have now done 9 times) and also he first time they received no points (which they have also managed to do a further 3 times since). what did the Jury have against Laila Halme and 'Muistojeni laulu' I wonder...
