#loreen may have the trophy but she will never have the streets!!!

[the-very-rubiest]

So ya girl went out Friday night and the bar had the option to request songs. So naturally, someone put in Cha Cha Cha. That's how it's been at parties lately. Whenever the students get to choose the music, it's only a matter of time before someone puts on Cha Cha Cha.

Now here's the thing. I've been to a lot of parties since I moved abroad. I know the reactions crowd-favorite songs usually get. And I have never seen anything like this before. At that point, maybe about ten people were dancing. The literal second Cha Cha Cha started, the entire bar was on its feet. Everyone was going nuts. People's cameras were out to capture the party. People who have never spoken a word of Finnish in their lives were singing along to the verses. And this isn't Finland, mind you. This is a student city in the Netherlands. And THIS is the reaction.

Loreen may have won the trophy, but Käärijä has created a phenomenon. And BOY am I proud to be witnessing it in real time.
