As a finnish person i really like this song. And this is much better than our national anthem. They should make this our new national anthem. I'm 100% in for that.

My daughter just said she wanted to go to Finland for a Christmas in a post-pandemic world. I immediately started singing this song. She was like.."What?"
I was going to have gone there with my family last March, and yep, coronavirus happened. It was like the only thing I was looking forward to, I had just fucked up my knee big time and may have unironically cried to this song at least once 😂
Lol... My wife just said she wanted to visit Finland and I brought up this video on Chromecast. She's not a Python fan and is currently looking at me with a suspicious gaze...

The land of moonshine, fishing knives, and saunas is the place for me!!! The land of death metal bands with androgynous singers is the place to be!!! A place with better tax rates and incomes than the US, where healthcare and university is free!!! Where everyone is a "10" and sexy, under the age of 30!!!
@@Ethnarches Looking up income tax I find: In Finland Taxation of an individual's income is progressive. In other words, the higher the income, the higher the rate of tax payable. In 2005 the income tax rate (national tax) for an individual is between 10.5%-33.5%. In addition to direct taxation there is also municipal tax in Finland. This tax is payable by an individual on his or her income and it fluctuates between 15% - 20% depending on the municipal authority. Then you have the sales tax rate: The Sales Tax Rate in Finland stands at 24 percent. Sales Tax Rate in Finland averaged 22.85 percent from 2000 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 24 percent in 2013 and a record low of 22 percent in 2001.

Finland is possibly the most conveniantly ignored and boring European nation in the history of Western civilization. Kudos on her.
@@seivaDsugnA Correcting your comment: Half of the country has not even been part of "Western civilization" but only recently (from 1945 on).

Michael Palin was singing this song softly as he entered Finland on a bus for the first time, on the TV series "Pole to Pole"
