Music asks: 29

Thank ya!!!

29: A song that you remember from your childhood

You'd think this one wasn't that hard but I had a really hard time picking whether or not I wanted to go with more of a kid's song or like a radio song or if I should meme with the one song that got banned in our music class bc some students year above us decided to change the words and sing about locking the teachers into the rat basement (our teach was very unimpressed) bc that incident sure lives in my head rent-free...

Anyhow I decided to go with Leijat by Kirka, except I'm linking Jarkko Ahola's cover here bc I found it recently and I just think it's neat:

The song, although not with this specific arrangement, was one of my fave songs to sing in music class when I was a kid and I still really like the song

#little-escapist #*gollum voice* ask us #asks #I believe the children's song in question was 'piparkakkutalossa'#actually I think the version the kids sang was 'turhaa huoli ois opettajat kuolis pois apuopet vangittais rottakellariin'#so like. fair @ the teach for banning it hjfdjdhjgf #Leijat is a finnish version of Kites written by Hal Hackady and Lee Pockriss #also. writing this post just made me realize that Yö too has a Leijat-cover #and I've never connected the dots before the songs before lmao #in my defense the yö cover is nowhere near my fave yö songs #and it was originally published as a single and I never had many of the single cds #and the only comptilation album it's on is not an album I frequently listen to #bc that comptilation has some wacky versions of my fave songs I'm not overly fond of so I tend to skip it #like. I much prefer the original versions of those songs over those arrangements so there's no point #but it's defo on my 'all yö songs' playlist and I've listened to it passively countless of times jfjdf #if I was to pick like a disney/pixar song it'd be toy story 2's when she loved me (finnish version)#bc that lives in my head rent free and I still frequently listen to it #I wasn't a big musical film kid so no disney-disney for me but my god toy story 2 my beloved
