Kurpitsatalon Sadonkorjuujuhla 9.9 2018

[TheCnoonan]

I'm on a mission to listen to every Ievan Polkka version there is on youtube

[riddleRon]

My dude over here just SHREDDING that banjo.

[t.dominey]

Non musicians really don't understand just how hard it is to sing while playing an instrument, especially one so complicated as the accordion. Huge respect

[computeruser]

It seems like they're trying to Finnish this song as quick as possible.

[izzuky]

I play it at the speed of 0.25 so the singer and the guitarist can rest a bit

[JuupelisJaapelis]

The woman is good but also mad respect to the man playing the banjo!!!

[jawapower]

The moment when folk music becomes faster than hard techno.

[vijaytgeorge]

I tried singing along and ended opening up a dimensional rift and now there's a head crab chasing me and I don't have my crowbar and please send help

[thejjzz]

Playng banjo like crazy and playing drum with a suitcase at the same time…now that’s a talent

[kristianbenes]

Eminem: I'm beginnin' to feel like a rap god, rap god.
Some Finnish guys: Hold my beer

[boettschhavsom]

this whole song is probably just a single word in finnish

[Tubeytime]

They just played that song like it's last thing they'll do on god's green earth.

[Jehnie]

Me : what’s the WiFi password?

Friend : it’s on the back of the router

Back of the router :

[Vrxiz]

This woman is obviously a goddess from a long lost pantheon.

[inviaggiocoltubo]

So we're not talking about the fact that he's drumming a suitcase?
Ok.

[dglsdeleon]

My dude with the banjo playing it better than native Arkansas folk. Dude is killing it!

[nastik]

For anyone wondering, this song is talking about a boy who takes a girl, Ieva, to a dance. Ieva's mother doesn't want her to go, but eventually, she and the boy sneak out. After the dancing, they hook up. They go back home and Ieva's mother is mad and Ieva starts crying. The song ends basically with the boy telling the mom he loves Ieva and will not give her up. I just stole this comment from someone who basically stole this comment from someone who basically stole this comment from another Ievan Polka video in which the comment writer basically stole the comment from another Ieva Polka video

This girl is legendary! In case of major electricity blackout she could power a half of Finland.

When you have to perform, but you also have to pee.




Good performance guys.
