How about another Finnish song, with a funny fan video Leevi & The Leavings Muotitietoinen I believe the title either means "well-dressed" or "fashion-conscious", but I get the impression that the singer is mocking the idea of being fashion-conscious.
Lyrics: Mua ennen koulussa kiusattiin, kun en rahojani tuhlannut Brylcremiin pojat veti mua turpiin ja rikkoi mun rillit oli kavereilla kaikilla jamekset joten minäkin ostin sellaiset ylhäältä leveät ja alhaalta pillit Muotitietoinen Nyt mä olen muotitietoinen Minä olen muotitietoinen ja tytötkin sen huomaa. nyt naiset perässäni juoksevat heistä valitsen vain kaikkein kauneimmat joiden kanssa ajelen kun saan oman auton tuntuu ihanalta huomata itsekin kuinka vaatteet tekevät popparin kun ennen olin pelle ja muutenkin mauton Muotitietoinen Nyt mä olen muotitietoinen Minä olen muotitietoinen ja tytötkin sen huomaa. Muotitietoinen Nyt mä olen muotitietoinen Minä olen muotitietoinen ja tytötkin sen huomaa. Edited by mick33 on 29 November 2009 at 11:13am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hej Cordelia, allt väl? Det var länge sedan.
Jag vill fråga vad betyder 'bot' i 'Boten Anna', jag fattar att det är båt på en dialekt? Jag tycker mycket om låten :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Det är "bot" som i "robot", ett program som sköter vissa uppgifter på internet. Mer info här:

Thanks for posting that. Yes, it means "fashion-conscious" and yes, I have to agree that the song, and the video as well, are mostly mocking the idea of fashion-consciousness. I suppose you got the lyrics from on-line somewhere, but If you did type it all down yourself congratulations! There are just a couple of very minor glitches: kun en rahojani tuhlannut Brylcremiin (("Brylcreme", the trademark)) pojat veti mua turpiin ja rikkoi mun rillit ... tuntuu ihanalta huomata itsekin ((A double k there is not really wrong, just colloquial. Hmmm if there is such a thing as colloquial writing, but still it should be just one k. Oh well...)) Not sure if you realised that the youngsters you see larking about in the video are nothing to do with the original group performing the song. It's pretty good though, to be made by complete amateurs, and fun to watch. If you want to see what the original group looks like there are plenty of performances by "Leevi and the Leavings" that you can dig up on Youtube. The lead singer Gösta Sundqvist has been dead for a few years now (since 2003), but thanks to youtube we can still see him in full swing, for instance in "Poika nimeltä Päivi" - "A boy named Päivi" (Päivi is a girl's name). Their songs are nice enough to listen to and many of the lyrics have quite interesting and original ideas. If you can dig up the texts on line I think they can be useful to you in your language-learning efforts, as well as being enjoyable works of artistic expression in their own right.

Your Welcome Hencke,
I found the lyrics online, so the minor glitches aren't mine. Brylcremiin definitely makes more sense in the second line of the first verse. As for the two other mistakes; I'm not surprised that I missed the differences in consonant lengths as I still haven't quite sorted those out yet when listening to Finnish. I've found that Leevi and the Leavings, and a few other Finnish musical groups like Eppu Normaali, do indeed have interesting and thought-provoking lyrics which sometimes make me wonder why more people aren't interested in Finnish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

DN intervjuvade Joakim Thåström som många säkert minns från Ebba Grön och Imperiet. Jag var för liten på Ebba tiden, men jag minns de senare åren av Imperiet väl och jag tyckte de var suveräna.
Här är ett bra kvot från Thåström, från en intervju i Dagens Nyheter
Så himla irriterande när svenska musiker som inte har några engelsktalande fans sjunger på engelska. Bra kommentar av Thåström. Det verkar som om han har spelat in en ny skiva. En av mina favoritsånger av Thåström (försöker göra ett "vuxet" val, haha! Inget vulgärt eller anarkistiskt.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx0zyzRtTJ0 VAR E VARGEN? Var e vargen Var e vargen Var e vargen Du trodde var död [x3] När månen om natten sätts i brand Av ett isande skrik ifrån norr, är det sant Det de viskar om en rit nånstans Så välsignat vare vårt land Var e vargen Var e vargen Var e vargen Du trodde var död [x2] I de djupaste skogar från fjällen i skyn Hörs berättas en urgammal myt Om blixtrande ögon du aldrig kan fly Så bevare båd stad och by Var e vargen Var e vargen Var e vargen Du trodde var död [x2] Den vilda världens hunger lämnar aldrig dig Den vilda världens hunger lämnar aldrig dig Som en levande lavin kommer hungriga djur Över vidden hörs deras tjut Och vinden sjunger ett mollstämt du Människa, är du för eller mot till slut? Det e vargen Det e vargen Det e vargen Du trodde var död [x3] Det e vargen Det e vargen Det e vargen Du hört Den vilda världens hunger lämnar aldrig dig... ----------------------------- Någon annan som gillade dem och har en favoritlåt?

Jag har precis läst de inlägg av 'boten anna' på wikipedia. Nu förstår jag, det är ganska rolig låt. Tack för förklaringen.
