Not a judment call, just an observation. Funnily enough I have three of Pohjola's albums, including "Keesojin Lehto"/"The Mathmatician's Air Display" Which a composer/keyboardist (ex)friend of mine claimed for years that PP had 'stolen' from him. He actually passed the album off as his own work for the final project for his composition class at Baylor in '85. Then when I had him play it for another guy years later, this guy had the PP album (as an Oldfield bootlegg) and my buddy spewed a story about how Pohjola had been an 'Artist In Residence' at Baylor and the day after he returned to Finland my friend's master tapes were gone. Wanker. Great album though. You know, no matter what language you translate the song to it’s still REALLY gay. Not a judment call, just an observation.

In those days it was more or less the same line-up playing in almost every tv-show with music. The Finnish (quite literal) translation is hilarious, though.

(I'm not sure whether you are able to see this out there abroad.) This is supposed to be a funny musical number for a show called Hepskukkuu which was a funny show for saturday evening á la Saturday Night Live except for the 'live' part. And the 'funny'. Funnier now actually. Lineup for the 'band': Esko Nick (voc), Olli Ahvenlahti (keys), Pekka Pohjola (bass), Heikki Laurila (gtr), Tapani "Nappi" Ikonen (drums).
