Anyone heard of Loituma? They're Finnish folk singers. This song in the flash animation is called Ievan Polkka. It was on their album in 1995, but didn't become popular (Mainly in Russia) until 2006.

When I first heard this a few months ago, I could'nt close the window. It was so addicting, and the vocals are impressive.

Sorry is this has been posted.

Hahah..

I find that song more annoying than addictive..

I found only couple of real finnish words in that sample..

but the whole song has real lyrics, I think.

Well, from what I've read from wiki, it said that most of it is just gibberish, and only some are in Finnish words.

Ahhh... remember this...

I remember I downloaded a live performance of this song. All the beats, sounds, and everything in the thing is made by the vocalists in the live performance, no instruments whatsoever.

It was captivating.
