OT: Finnish Music

[JustaFinnishGuy]

The only worst opinion with Finnish music is that there's that 1 person who only listens to music he/she likes and therefore automatically calls all other genres shit.
God forbid if someone actually makes a good pop song that gets national radio play constantly.

I am wondering if anyone can help me. We used to have a Finnish nanny, and she sang 3 songs to us that I just can't find anywhere. I am sure my spelling is all wrong, but maybe someone recognizes them by what I type, or knows of a good Finnish message board where I could find them. These songs were sung to us in the late 60's, and she was about 50 at the time, so I don't know how old these songs could be. I will type out what I know:

1. Kee cooty co cootie kiddy of a lindu east to be ox
2. Gurler Gurler gita gon bobba fula blankie
3. Kupinua Kupina only could not miss

Sorry the rest I remember but vaguely.

Could it be this one?

1. Kee cooty co cootie kiddy of a lindu east to be ox

Hadn't heard this one before and this is pretty bad quality, but I'm fairly sure it could be this one:


It was actually fun trying to backtrace these, if you have any more, I'd like to help.

Saw this thread hadn't been updated in a while. Figured I'd throw in one I remember from my time in Vierumaki.

Also sure to rile a certain team's fan base. At least it did at the time.

 

[Luolis]

One of my favorites for sure.

Thats Estonian.

edit. Song is nice and calm though. Though the lyrics probably from bible. edit2. apparently not. I know Kalevala better than bible

 

[Sanf]

For some reason that reminded me of this. Now it isn´t Finnish band either. It´s Russian folk metal band Wandersworld. The lyrics are from Kalevela (rune three) and singed in Finnish.

I always struggled to find Finnish bands to listen to because I generally found them either too folksy or too metal/proggy. But did find a 2021 one from an album this year which I'm really enjoying. Just a regular sounding indie/alt/shoegaze band. Album had good reviews and it was their 2nd which is nice because I hate getting into bands with only a debut that they follow up with either stinkers or breakups.
