Who likes Finnish Polka?

I do!

So I found this website, which is totally safe for work, you can click it, called http://www.leekspin.com . I guess the name is a pun on the less-than-savory meatspin, which I'm loathe to even put ".com" directly after because I don't want VBulletin to automatically hyperlink it.

Well the animation on the page is fine, it's Orihime from the Bleach cartoon, but that's not important. What's important is the song being played in the background. It's a loop of a (gibberish) snippet of a song by a Finnish polka quartet.

The group's name?

It's called Loituma, and they're LAVA-HOT, in my humble opinion (imho). The particular song is called Ievan Polka (or Ieva's Polka in some cases) and apparently it's well known in Finland? That's the impression I get. Well anywho, it's good stuff, like the melodic chanting of angels. It penetrates my brain, and if you can grab a CD or torrent of their stuff, I think you'd all like it.

    Oh, no, I don't own it, I just have the music.

    I am not as classy as first thought!

    I was about to be all "Finnish Poka is lame" but then I listened to it was impressed by the complete acapella of it all.

    I just got the meaning of the name leekspin, and realised what meatspin probably is. Also, that is some awesome polka.

    I was rather confused why people were so amazed by something I thought had been discussed a while back. Then I remembered that I'm thinking of a different forum. Either way, this remains quite amusing.

    Ugh.

    Anyway, who remembers Nanaca Crash?

    I suggest Finntroll.

    I'd post a link to the myspace page(s), but not everyone has myspace. Just do a search, people.
