That was hilarious. Oh my f*cking god, I didn´t even remember that Eläkeläiset had made that version... Eläkeläiset rules

Eläkeläiset!!!
Too bad i missed their concert here, about two month ago

Anyway, is it legal to release that song for downloading.. on their website they just have short samples i think?

antonio · Post by **antonio** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 6:08 pm

it rocks.. very funny

Viking · Post by **Viking** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 8:43 pm

Well, I really don't know. I just liked it very much and wanted all other Stratofans to listen to it. And even uploaded it to my own site

I've heard that song before!

I have it in my computer... God damm, Eläkeläiset rocks!

It sounds funny.
What do the words mean though?

Patricia · Post by **Patricia** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 11:44 pm

Yes, it's "Hunting high and low" finnish version!

The original is better!

I prefer the french version of "Papillon" sung by Timo Kotipelto!

its funny..........there are more similar versions?

browneyedfool · Post by **browneyedfool** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:50 am

So the lyrics are the same as in the English version?

And yes, I would like to hear other songs!

Eagle · Post by **Eagle** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:53 am

Doesnt anyone have the lyric of this song..?!?! it´s so funny... very nice to hear it....but I dont understand anything...

Viking · Post by **Viking** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 7:26 am

I also understand nothing

I have one more song by Elakelaiset, and there are only two words that I can understand - "HUMPPA" and "SAATANA"

Maybe that's because I don't know finnish at all

No, it isn't translation, the story is quite different...

Lapazeus · Post by **Lapazeus** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 1:55 pm

The song is actually about a funeral

Here's my quickly done translation

------------------------------------

I’ll just sing in some fucking way…

Bending buffet table
Full of steaming dainty

The speaker tries to
Gnashing his false teeth
Make up something good to say
About the deceased

Deep down he was gentle
Pleasant, secretly even intelligent
Skilfully he hid it from all of us
Let us remember him…with body warmth!

Why don’t they play humppa here!
Just blame the cantor, you can’t play
Bass with organ pedals

Why don’t they play humppa here!
It isn’t easy for the man, the church organ
Probably doesn’t have a rhythm machine

It isn’t that pleasant in the coffin either
The balsamic stuff itches the face
Soundproofing leaves a lot to be desired, too
You can hear the pastor’s bullshit through it

Deep down he was gentle
Pleasant, and even intelligent
Skilfully he hid it from all of us
Let us remember him…with body warmth!

Why don’t they play humppa here!
Just blame the cantor, you can’t play
Bass with organ pedals

Why don’t they play humppa here!
It isn’t easy for the man, the church organ
Probably doesn’t have a rhythm machine

[solo]

Deep down he was gentle
Pleasant, and even intelligent
Skilfully he hid it from all of us
Let us remember him…with body warmth!

Why don’t they play humppa here!
Just blame the cantor, you can’t play
Bass with organ pedals

Why don’t they play humppa here!
It isn’t easy for the man, the church organ
Probably doesn’t have a rhythm machine

Why don’t they play humppa here!
Just blame the cantor, you can’t play
Bass with organ pedals

Why don’t they play humppa here!
It isn’t easy for the man, the church organ
Probably doesn’t have a rhythm machine

who the hell ' singing?!??

Patricia · Post by **Patricia** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 2:48 pm

Maybe they've only used music from Strato (Hunting high and low), and have only changed the lyrics?

Viking · Post by **Viking** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 2:57 pm

They did

And "guitar" solo is just amazing

They've made many covers like this one, I've heard their version of "SMOKE ON THE WATER" - you know, that worth living!!!

antonio · Post by **antonio** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 3:41 pm

i want their version of smoke on the water..now

Mormegil · Post by **Mormegil** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 3:55 pm

I also like the versions of Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (Elän Humpalla), Europe - Final Countdown (Jääkärihumppa) and HIM - Join Me (Humppasonni).

Well, it's illegal to put it on Internet anyway. 'Miksei täällä humppa soi' is also an Eläkeläiset-song, you can go to www.humppa.com and download legal and official song samples.

antonio · Post by **antonio** » Wed Jul 14, 2004 6:31 pm

i've just listen to "smoke on the water" sample... and kick serious ass..

browneyedfool · Post by **browneyedfool** » Wed Jul 14, 2004 7:39 pm

As I don't read...(finnish?), I would like to ask, what other stratovarius songs have they made parodies of?

eternity_strato · Post by **eternity_strato** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 2:13 am

funny

eternity_strato · Post by **eternity_strato** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 9:55 am

HHAL is their only (so far) Stratovarius cover song. Here is the list of all cover songs they have made... (It's in finnish, but I think you'll get it)

Twilightsymphony · Post by **Twilightsymphony** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:59 am

Their covers of Paranoid, Bitch and Kung Fu Fighting are so great

browneyedfool · Post by **browneyedfool** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 10:15 pm

I can't read finnish - can someone directly link me to Smoke on the Water sample from the web site?
