~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Rankka viikko ja paljon pitkii päiviä takan,
Mielenkiintona piña colada ja rata,
Ilta on vielä nuori ja aikaa kumota,
Tää jäinen ulkokuori on aika tuhota
Pidän kaksin käsin kiinni juomista niinku
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
En mieti huomista ku tartun tuopista niinku,
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
Haluun olla sekasin ja vapaa huolista niinku
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
Ja mä jatkan kunnes en enää pysy tuolissa niinku
Muutama piña colada on jo takana,
Silti mul on vielä naamataulu vakava, yeah yeah ye ye yeh
Ilta on vielä nuori ja aikaa kumota,
Tää jäinen ulkokuori on aika tuhota,
Parketti kutsuu mua ku en oo enää lukossa,
Niinku cha cha cha mä oon tulossa
Pidän kaksin käsin kiinni juomista niinku,
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
En mieti huomista ku tartun tuopista niinku,
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
Haluun olla sekasin ja vapaa huolista niinku,
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha, ei
Ja mä jatkan kunnes en enää pysy tuolissa niinku vou,
Nyt lähden tanssimaan niinku cha cha cha cha enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa,
Niinku cha cha cha kun mä kaadan päälleni samppanjaa,
Cha cha cha toinen silmä jo karsastaa, ja puhe sammaltaa ku tää toinen puoli must vallan saa,
Cha cha cha en oo arkena tää mies laisinkaan, en oo mut tänään oon se mies, tänään oon se mies
Nyt lähden tanssimaan niinku cha cha cha, enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa,
Niinku cha cha cha, kun mä kaadan päälleni samppanjaa,
Niinku cha cha cha
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha aa-aah
Niinku cha cha cha
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha

​@@Kolious_ThraceYou're wrong, you don't need alcohol when a masterpiece like this exists. This song and his other music makes you party like crazy even without alcohol, that is the truth! I know, I have been there, seen it at his gigs. And say what you will about his singing, it's your opinion, not everyone's opinion. The stage was big in that arena and he gave hell of a show there. It's no wonder if he was a little out of breath, he is a human being. And to me it makes him the best singer, I can relate to him and connect with him. I love his singing and his voice❣️

[@themount6549]

​@@santtu7098Well, the first part is like a carbon copy of Rammstein's song, and he does it quite well. But in the later part his singing isn't good. I personaly think of the first part to be far superior, and that's quite sad considering it wasn't his creation. It's a fun song, but taste in music is different and to me it leaves a sour feeling, because it's copied.

[@santtu7098]

​​​@@themount6549Ok. I don't think there is any music in this world that hasn't gotten influence and inspiration from some other music. And they have told openly that they have been inspired by Rammstein. This song is still unique, it's not a copy imo. But like you said taste in music is different, and that's totally ok! You don't have to like this or his singing, I only said I love it, that there's different opinions about it. I've heard him sing live and he is far better singer in reality, I know that this show here was hard and affected a little bit. And he is a rapper in the first place.

What else could someone do to win? Loreen is talented, but Tattoo was no Euphoria.

[@tobias97erdt]

I came here to understand why so many people voted for a song and a stage performance that i found gross. Reading comments like this makes me guess: People celebrate this guy for embracing this freaky (and for my taste awkward) style and having the balls bringing it to the public. If you think he deserved the win you do you but 1 question I still have: how is the arena crowd singing the song an argument for the own vote? It's like : because others find it cool I find it cool too?

Well, most magical thing for me over all the weird and great ones was when we sent a band of 4 mentally disabled men who spend their lives in care homes. That is a bold move without maybe looking for the victory, but they gave a voice and chance to mentally disabled, who else does it? Band was called Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät.

Loreen paid off the jury

[@britl4072]

@Vicki I respect all the artists, and I don't want to make any accusations, however, it's really really, really suspicious when the jury points margin between Loreen and the 2nd place were so big , which from 2nd place to 26th place the difference were not that big at all between, ( because if you look at the televote, organically, even the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, differences were no where near the points jury has put Loreen ahead) to me, it look so obvious that they voted that way intentionally, anyway, this needs to be investigated
