Wow. I should probably win an award for the weirdest thread submitted lately...

Moving beyond that, Hckyso sent me a weird, quirky, yet somehow funny clip from what looks like an anime TV show. It gets annoying after the first few million loops, but when I first opened it I laughed hysterically from the sheer randomness of it. Enjoy.

Yes, I AM easily entertained...

I wonder if it even means anything. I like it. I'm letting it play in the background.

I wonder if it's some demonic plan to take over the world...

Dude, that thing is evil! I listened to it for maybe 30 seconds and now I have the tune stuck in my head! It's probably full of Japanese subliminal messages. Good thing I don't know Japanese...

Well, it turns out the song is Finnish, or more accurately a dialect of Finnish called Savo, apparently making it even more amusing if you're Finnish. :)

Edit: Apparently the bit of the song used in the cartoon is nonsense, with the odd Finnish word thrown in.

Here are the words (Finnish and English) of the original song:

Also quite interesting, here's a video of the group who sings the song, Loituma, performing it live:

The song is also available on iTunes:

Ok, I'm done.

Freaky! A friend of mine sent this to me a few days ago.

I think I watched it for about ten minutes, it's so hypnotic but amusing at the same time. :D

Very Interesting

I was looking around at crazy frog cartoons on youtube, and i came across "crazy doll" which seems to be the long version of this song featuring holly dolly. Anyway, I've been looking around for information, and this thread has provided tons of info already. So, thanks. Now, onto my main point: I found that the link for the lyrics, and the link for the itunes not working. Is it just my computer, or will it not work for anyone?
