The only thing that could make it better is an appearance by Walter.

Um, yeeaaaahhh. and have you read the memo on the TPS reports? Yeeeaaaahhhh.
that video sucked. peereeeod.

I saw enough...it's right up there with Paris' video....oh and Hoff's car beaut!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 17, 2006 at 03:33 PM
Yeah, that's pretty bad, but then there's that one with Leonard Nimoy singing a song about Bilbo Baggins....also... at this Indian restaurant I like they have a large screen TV in a corner constantly showing Indian music videos. I've seen several there that could rival this one.

It's captivating. I couldn't turn away. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I think that might be a cult or something. I have this strange thirst for Koolaid suddenly.

These guys watched ABBA one too many times........
Posted by: leemedia | October 17, 2006 at 03:36 PM
Argh.. it's absurdly catchy and now I have it stuck in my head...
Posted by: NotPrettyEnough | October 17, 2006 at 03:37 PM
ACK! I've seen this . . . recently . . . Is it TNT? or TVLand? Some cable station advertises a Friday night movie special, and it's creepy looking people EXACTLY LIKE THIS, hosting the show.

Okay, that little 1:48 hip shake had me in danger of losing my job I wanted to laugh so hard.
Posted by: KOW | October 17, 2006 at 03:41 PM
The Soul Train clearly did not make a stop in Finland.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 17, 2006 at 03:44 PM
Me thinks they are still watching reruns of Solid Gold instead.
Posted by: Witchiecoo | October 17, 2006 at 03:50 PM
Oh wow. It just keeps getting more and more inexplicable...
I wonder what their choreographer was on. Looks like an overdose of Eurovision.
Posted by: Penny | October 17, 2006 at 03:50 PM
it's like... lawrence welk meets the hitler youth meets the planet that skin pigmentation forgot ...

I dunno, the humping conga line kinda turned me on.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 17, 2006 at 04:02 PM
I had to turn on my Microsoft Media Player to prevent this from getting stuck in my head. Fortunately I had some GOOD music to listen to. Even Barry Mannillow would have been better.
Posted by: Schadeboy | October 17, 2006 at 04:09 PM
Holy freaking hell, the Finns scare me sometimes.
Posted by: Clean Hands | October 17, 2006 at 04:15 PM
I say that every day, CH.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 17, 2006 at 04:19 PM
They scare us all, CH. They scare us all.
Posted by: Penny | October 17, 2006 at 04:19 PM
It was too painful, I had to shut it down after the first 15 seconds...
Posted by: DimWitte | October 17, 2006 at 04:20 PM
I'm with Pretty Enough - I can't get this thing out of my head now!
Can we play Huck Finn, and start hucking the cheerleaders over the side of the spacecraft?
Posted by: Clean Hands | October 17, 2006 at 04:21 PM
HOLY Rock Hallelujah, Penny! They looks like Klingons!
Posted by: Witchiecoo | October 17, 2006 at 04:31 PM
Penny, you should have put a warning on that link.
*note to self: do not ever, EVER go to Finland*
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 17, 2006 at 04:32 PM
My goodness, that wasn't very good at all, was it?
On the other hand, it's probably better than some of the music videos MTV shows these days (providing you can find them, that is).
Posted by: Bill L. | October 17, 2006 at 04:40 PM
This explains so much about my Finnish friends... poor bastards never even had a chance.
Posted by: Clean Hands | October 17, 2006 at 04:48 PM
Okay, I probably have laughed so hard at least once before in my life, but dayum that was funny!
It started with the Lawrence Welkishness of the lead singers, coupled with their strange attire choices (he's the epitome of the swinging 70s, she's obviously taken Donna Reed as her style maven), but the giggles just exploded when the insane androgynous cheerleaders wiggled their way through the singers. I'm actually giddy.
The Finns are certainly strange rangers all.
Posted by: FleaBailey | October 17, 2006 at 04:54 PM
oh my.
That is all.
Posted by: funniegrrl | October 17, 2006 at 04:54 PM
I haven't enjoyed a video so much since the aforementioned Leonard Nimoy danced with the hobbits... The disco ball certainly was a dash of panache...
Posted by: Susan Kosior | October 17, 2006 at 04:59 PM
I love that they shamelessly steal from Grease at the end there. This is horrible. And funny. Kind of like a car crash--just can't help looking.
Me-I thought it looked familiar too! TVLand is using something similar for their promos. How sad is it that someone out there actually has seen this before?
Posted by: MareBear | October 17, 2006 at 05:06 PM
Penny - I'll give them credit. They were scary!
As for Dave's German video, I couldn't keep the laughter in at about 1:30 into it. HAHAHAHAA!
Posted by: Brainy Jello | October 17, 2006 at 05:20 PM
"Penny, you should have put a warning on that link"
Sorry. :) I will try and remember that in the future.
(Note to Self: Warn people before posting links to Finnish heavy metal bands performing in the Eurovision Song Contest)
Actually, the really scary part is that they won.
Posted by: Penny | October 17, 2006 at 05:31 PM
Where can we get Dave a shirt like that fancy little singin' guy in blue?
Posted by: Jazzzz | October 17, 2006 at 05:54 PM
...and why would they steal grease? wasn't that on The Simpson's?
Posted by: Jazzzz | October 17, 2006 at 05:56 PM
I can't wait to not go to Finland with Lazeeee
Posted by: Jazzzz | October 17, 2006 at 06:02 PM
*finds "Y" for Layzee and shuts up now*
Posted by: Jazzzz | October 17, 2006 at 06:04 PM
Hey! I lost ten pounds with that video-- "Sweatin' with the Finns".
Posted by: nora | October 17, 2006 at 06:10 PM
Don't forget the Hoff when we're talking about awesome videos...

'But I don't WANT to wear the puffy shirt!'
Posted by: CJrun | October 17, 2006 at 07:25 PM
A couple of people have already mentioned the Leonard Nimoy "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" video - for those of you who haven't seen it, I have to agree that it is, remarkably, even worse than this Finnish one. See for yourself at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC73PHdQX04.
Posted by: JG | October 17, 2006 at 10:22 PM
Well, now we know where Michael Jackson stole the crotch-grab from.
Posted by: suda nim | October 17, 2006 at 10:27 PM
I think the only way to top this video is to have them do it again today with the same people, same choreography (term used loosely), and same costumes- Just as long as it is shown between mealtimes.
Posted by: Katie in FL | October 17, 2006 at 10:39 PM
The guy in the music video = Prince Adam from Masters of the Universe
Posted by: MichelleMotoko | October 18, 2006 at 12:26 AM
Either this has been blogged before or I sent it in last month. I can't remember which, but I've definitely suffered/laughed through it before.
Posted by: marfie | October 18, 2006 at 12:29 AM
At first I hoped it was an exercise video -- then I hoped they were trying to be so bad it was funny -- then I lost all hope (except the hope that it would hurry up and end.)
Posted by: AmerinPars | October 18, 2006 at 05:48 AM
EARWORM.... EARWORM....
Are you having trouble getting those BobbieSoxers out of your head too? I can help. Try this classic on for size:
Cure for Earworms
Posted by: Baron VonKlyff | October 18, 2006 at 07:52 AM
If that one didn't cure the earworm, this one is sure to...
Not for the easily offended!!!

Posted by: Chaz | October 18, 2006 at 08:27 AM
