The song, and as far as I remember, the performer, never made it to the Eurovision Song Contest. It should have, really. I'm fairly sure Finland would have won with it.
It is, however, a very important part of one of my Eurovision Song Contest 2006 experience (or was it 2007?) Every time there was something boring going on, my brother started Loituma's Ievan Polkka. Yes, teh song with the leek spinning girl flash animation.
