I'm obsessed with this song

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Such a nice reaction, thank you! For me, Käärijä is already the winner!

[@veli-pekkakultanen2353]

It is Eurovision song, it is supposed to be catchy and different. And it is. Hundreds of reaction videos, and everyone says " What is happening!"

[@JustSaying001]

Slogan for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is "United By Music". 🇫🇮 Käärijä - Cha cha cha does it! ❤

[@Raimo1957]

Imagine when Käärijä with dancers perform their ESC-contribution live in Liverpool, and the audience sings along to the Cha Cha Cha, it will be a party🥳🤪!

[@TheEssiEssi]

It will be crazy 😂

[@JustSaying001]

"United By Music" ❤

[@Ingvi_Jonsson]

That is a super interesting song, it has a fantastic beat, I'm certain that it will do very well in the finals, awesome reaction!

[@t.bryan9384]

Amazing reaction:) It’s definitely my winner 🏆! 12 points from Germany 🇩🇪

[@pirkkopalermaa3045]

Your happy faces 🎉❤

[@HiskiHit]

Party metal is how he describes it. This song has something that moves you regardless of nationality. Something primitive that you cannot describe but you enjoy to the top. 💚🇫🇮💃🏽🔥

[@ristoravela652]

Finland, the happiest country in the world, is bringing infectious joy Eurovision 🎉 These reaction videos are so much fun to watch, people are always so confused in the beginning and then just totally with it in the end, just dancing and laughing ❤

[@tommilaitinen5555]

There is more to the song than the drinking part. It could be about everyday stress, sexual norms, expectations from our closest and society, even the world political situation at the moment. And the way we get worn out under these circumstances, and there is the way of drinking. That is "me" (the storyteller) of the song who wants to dance and forget about the everyday sorrows and fears. He loosens up by sipping pina coladas, until there are no boundaries restricting him, and his will to dance. So eventually, there is a two-fold story which you can interpret either way: either he wants to drink (which he does to be able to dance) or he just wants to dance (but there are psychological and social restrictions, maybe self criticism or fear that he will be laughed at that does not allow him to dance). When the dance floor opens, the heck with what the other people think, it is your dance floor and it is your dance, it is your will to be free and open to the world. So, when he "passes out", you could tell, that it is not from drinking, but actually dancing your head off.

[@kristalaine1896]

Nailed it!

[@mariakokkonen9047]

Amen!

[@erikafinland2162]

As a Finnish woman song this is exactly that, more of pandemic+war that continues to be painful every day, this song really translated as encourament and happiness for our European continent.

[@stimolus]

"social restrictions...that does not allow him to dance" Tough guys like the story teller are definitely laughed at if they try to go to dance floor sober. Dance theme might be unrelated or might be not, but our prime minister Sanna Marin was also criticized for having few drinks & dancing in a way yellow press went totally nuts. Even Hillary Clinton tweeted Marin "Keep dancing Sanna Marin!" with a photo where Hillary herself was partying. Also Ukrainian president Zelenskiy has won "Dances with Stars" before running president and have been criticized for dancing with heels in some comedy show etc "not suitable for president". And ofc, publicly dancing girls in Iran were arrested so dancing is definitely a big thing depending on social and cultural context. Anyway, you could see the song as a party/drinking song as well without any deeper meaning. It could also be the story teller is emphasizing the fact he is being unapologetic of not giving a fuck about what's going on in the world and the only thing he cares about is getting drunk, going dancing & having fun. Quite unsurprisingly though I've seen a lot of Ukrainians liking this song, it offers great way of escapism (to anyone), among other things. Other than lyrics, what about the song style, the industrial metal / eurodance / k-pop / self-irony towards the Finnish metal bands (ok, perhaps Rammstein too)? Since the story teller definitely wasn't great dancer (despite his willing to dance) and even though the song name suggests some great dance show I guess the whole show with minimal set with those cheap EUR-pallets and caveman coreography was irony towards all the big acts. Could be a bit trolling. Which is funny since usually the troll songs are done because the country wants to lose on purpose. If that was the case, Finland is failing miserably.

[@jesusthesilly]

​@@stimolusyup or the stage was mostly word play with pallet and stage. Eurolava= euroviisulava

[@Roosa612]

Cha cha chaaa ❤😂🎉🕺🏻💃🎶👍🏻💚🇫🇮

[@alionele]

I loved that you liked Käärijä. He is amazing 🎉🎉🎉

[@merjaknaapi4944]

Love this❤❤❤

[@artoturpeinen5140]

This is already a winner when it evokes such joy and strong emotions in so many. "I hate this, but I love it". 😂😂 Congratulations!

[@escahmet7487]

Amazing video ❤❤

[@jarkko7361]

Awesome

[@vesakonkelo9519]

Does it matter if he does not succeed in Eurovision. This is already an iconic legend at Eurovision. All lovers of this music can enjoy this without Eurovision💪😛🤘

[@florenna]

If this lovely Finnish song can arouse such a great reaction in Malta, the opposite side of Europe from Finland, and despite the language barrier, I'm confident the rest of Europe will get it too!! :)

[@helenakoivisto4459]

♥ from Finland

[@TheRetrospective]

Thanks for an authentic reaction. 😂 You clearly didn't expect that. I love the dancers and they represent alcohol. Its also funny that Käärijä isn't a serious guy at all, he's quite modest but turns here into that "monster".

[@Vilhyto]

You Girls are cute. Nice to see your reaction. I guess this is the best Eurovision song ever. I warn you, it becomes better every time you listen to it

[@fortuna7469]

Beautiful reaction! 😂😂

[@haliaeetus8221]

The first part is industrial techno rap metal and the second half is Finnish clubbing europop. How he managed to fuse the elements together so well is beyond me 🤩 but it sticks like super glue and hits through like an asphalt drill 😄

[@Flokarl1]

Sjukt braaaa!!!!!! :-) Kan inte sluta le!!! Jag tror Kääärijä vinner i år! Varenda klubb kommer att skrika Cha Cha- Cha Cha Cha Cha - Cha i sommar.

[@helenaholmberg1987]

Is it because of the catchy refrain/tune?

[@timokaarakainen3204]

❤ from 🇫🇮 🔥💚💃🕺💚🔥

[@sebastianniittyvuopio5017]

😊❤

[@kimacronym2521]

It is clearly a 10, there is no doubt. Rhythm, Visuals, creativity - just different than anything we have ever seen. That by itself is huge. I want to be in Liverpool live...

[@sirpaahonen6292]

You just have to love this! Cha Cha Cha!

[@anssimyllymaki1624]

Total Banger! 💪👑

[@JustSaying001]

2:37 Käärijä will dancerback ride to victory!

[@wainoumaan]

Beautiful reaction from beautiful girls 👌 12 points for you and for the Finnish Hulk 👌

[@timoryynanen4709]

Thank you from Finland, we appreciate your reviews.

[@ratedg9394]

Thank you so much for your comment! :)

[@Kennethgranqvist]

This exhausting week and many long days are behind There's only bar and piña colada on my mind There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish This icy shell is something I have to demolish Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha No, there's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha No, wanna mess my head up and free my mind of fear like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a... A couple piña coladas I have devoured Yet the expression I have on my face is sour Yeah yeah ye ye yeh There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish This icy shell is something I have to demolish The floor is calling me when I'm no longer so frozen Like a cha cha cha I am approachin' Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha No, there's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha No, wanna mess my head up and free my mind of fear like a Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, no And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a... I head towards dance floor like a cha cha cha And this world ain't making me scared no more Like a cha cha cha when champagne all over myself I pour Cha cha cha one eye keeps turning crossed too far And talking is so hard when this different side of me does its part Cha cha cha I don't usually go and drop my guard, not me But now I am that guy, now I am that guy I head towards dance floor like a cha cha cha And this world ain't making me scared no more Like a cha cha cha when champagne all over myself I pour Like a cha cha cha Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha aa-aah Like a cha cha cha Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha

Hello Darlings! Please vote for our King Käärijä! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland.

[@mattipiirainen7440]

when the video game / kids tv show part came on, the character got drunk enough to dance on the dance floor and for a small while be the life of the party which he normally isn't.
