Wonderfull song, you won't be sorry!!!

Is that Hunting High and Low?

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?

it rocks.. very funny

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?

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?

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

And yes, I would like to hear other songs!

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

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...

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]

who the hell ' singing?!??

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

funny

i got the him and europe songs... maybe i´m too slept but i don´t like it as the hunting high and low cover, HHAL it´s cool!

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)

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

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