In Japan, this video is very popular as a comedy video story as the world's worst series. The people at the time that made this tasteless video are great.
I remember finding this under; worst musical videos of all time but I love it STILL, to this day !! Thanks for saving it and displaying it on you-tube.

And yet even at that it's still better than most modern music you'll hear in the US while sitting at a stoplight, full of profanity hatred rage and vulgarity with the same copycat repetitive beat in every song for the last 40 years
I have no idea why Armi & Danny videos are full of Japanese comments, but this is the kind of music I expect the Japanese people to make memes of.

It's because a lot of crazy and leisure-time rich Japanese people are using this music video to reproduce parody with variety of hilarious match to weird and bizarre Japanese music..... some are cleverly matched on dancing.

I am Japanese. This music is so fascinating because the melody lines sound so nostalgic and beautiful, but the dance is so wierd. We love the music, but we also enjoy this wierd dance.

@@mkoki4984 That is so fascinating! Finnish music has been imported to Japan at least since the 1960's, so maybe the Finnish style of melody (melancholic, lot's of minor scales) has gained a reputation there? As far as I know, traditional Japanese and Finnish melodies aren't very similar. I'd like to know more about how Finnish music has become popular in Japan!

@@joonaskojo4363 Thanks for your reply. Since The Beatles came to Japan, band music got very popular in Japan, and one Japanese band starred in an American TV program called Ed Sullivan Show in late 1960's. The song lyrics of the band were often inspired by landscapes of Northern Europe, and several bands at the era created many songs with similar concepts. I dont know if they listened to music of Finland, but i guess Northern Europe inspired Japanese band music in 1960-1970.

@@mkoki4984 I think that's more or less why Western audiences like it as well. The song is quite nice by itself, but the choreography makes it that much more memorable.
This is a friggin' killer song. It has got to be re-released, it's a cult classic. Amazing song, a better dance & a vibe to die for. Honestly, this is a College cult hit. I simply Love It! Go Danny!
Lol, me too. And a musician friend sent this to me as a joke but I find it to be better than 99% of modern music since the last 40 years

This is a great song, minor key, well written and performed. The tragedy is Armi's life, RIP Armi: Armi Anja Orvokki Aavikko (1 September 1958, Helsinki - 2 January 2002, Espoo) was a Finnish beauty queen and singer. She was chosen as Miss Finland in 1977 and was best known for her duets with singer Danny. Toward the end of her life, Aavikko struggled with alcoholism and depression. She died on 2 January 2002 from pneumonia at the age of 43. Aavikko achieved some posthumous laughable notoriety in 2006 when the 1978 music video "I Wanna Love You Tender" featuring herself and Danny became an Internet phenomenon.

The choreography for this music video is... rather cringe by today's standards. But, by far the most cringe movements is that of 1:45... I mean, what on earth is that?! Playing a guitar riff while hopping backward on one leg is simply eye breaking - hahaha.
