Sir Sisu Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 OK, for those interested here is the third installment of my name that tune. This time I've decided to add a little twist. Instead of an original song, I am using a cover version instead, which is quite far from the original. In that way, it will hopefully not be so instantly recognizable. Hope you all have fun with it!

Sir Sisu Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's very difficult, at least for me. Seeing where you're from , then it sure might be difficult because I don't know if the hit version of this song was ever popular there. I will give this hint -it was popular in the 80s.

Sir Sisu Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Leningrad Cowboys, - how is that for Finnish? Finnish yes, but this is actually the err.... legendary humppa band Eläkeläiset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 So is Eläkeläiset really the answer??? Not exactly. They are the ones that are performing the song. What I'm looking for is: what is the name of the song they are covering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I used this site: http://www.humppa.ru/covers.html and browsed the list til I saw something similar to "Humpa ik sa seni". Instead, I found this: "Humppaan itsekseni" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I used this site: http://www.humppa.ru/covers.html and browsed the list til I saw something similar to "Humpa ik sa seni". Instead, I found this: "Humppaan itsekseni" Clever. The chorus is actually sung 'Hump-paan it-sek-se-ni'. Naturally it roughly means Humppa-ing by myself. Oh, and I consider myself a fan of classic rock but I don't know that song well at all. Well, I tried to pick one that might not necessarily be as obvious as a smoke on the water-type riff.
