introducing: KÄÄRIJÄVISHUN 2024 : WHERE ONLY KÄÄRIJÄ CAN WIN 🤓☝💚
countries competing include: KÄÄRIJÄ, käärijä, kar-ee-jah, jere, jerry, jeremy, kä, korea, carrier, Käärijä and kaarija.
no but for real, this will be a käärijä watch party with a twist ~!!
... we plan on ranking each song from the black box gig with a 3 category downloadable scoresheet (link coming soon,) as well as having some fun extra songs tagged onto the end: (icip at olympiastadion, ruoska at umk, huhhahhei at vuosi vaihtuu and cha cha cha orchestra version at emma gaala).
once all songs have competed, we will request everyone's scorecards.
during a short interval, other käärijä clips will play while our mathematicians work hard to tally up the result!
with a bit of luck, by the end of the night we will find the best käärijä song and THE WINNER OF KÄÄRIJÄVISHUN 2024 !! 🤩🥳💚🎉🎊
i wonder who will win ... 🤔🤭
WHEN IS IT? : Saturday 11 May 2024. around 9pm CET 🇪🇺 / 8pm BST 🇬🇧 / 10pm EET 🇫🇮 / 12pm (noon) PST 🇺🇸 / 3pm EST 🇺🇸 - Stay tuned for further updates.
HOW DO I JOIN? : Interested? From MAY 1 2024 message @the-converse-high-top or @katinkulta to request to be invited to the Discord and mention that you are interested in joining in Käärijävishun 2024.
DO I HAVE TO FILL IN A SCORECARD OR CAN I JUST JOIN THE WATCH PARTY? : You don't have to join in with ranking the songs! You can just come and vibe with other Käärijä fans during these difficult times. We just thought it would be a fun twist since it's a tradition that many would participate in when ranking euro-songs!
or the birch and the star, is a finnish fairytale written by zachris topelius about two siblings, taking place during "isoviha" (great wrath) or the russian occupation in finland in 1713 to 1721
the siblings are abducted to russia as children and run away ten years later in order to make a journey to find their home in finland, guided by two birds and a memory of their homestead birch tree with a star shining through it's leaves

Again - the chicken theme: Afterparty = jatkot, kot kot = chicken noises. Continues with 'please lay that afterparty' = lay as in lay eggs (it doesn't really mean anything in Finnish either)
'I don't want to slow dance' + Celine Dion refer to the custom in Finnish bars and nightclubs, they usually play some slow song/ballad as a last song at 3:30am. That's the time when they flash the lights on as a sign that the place is closing soon (the last call) and it's time to go home. (K is probably referring to My Heart Will Go On as the song but that's only my quess)
'How hard can it be to take that task?' - he's still expecting somebody to arrange the afterparty for him, this one was a bit tricky to translate accurately
Mayday

Mayday
I'm drowning in this sparkling
The others are gone I stayed in this bar
Here I am
Me and Celine Dion
Smart ones have left to sleep
I'm doomed to party
Here I am
I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I'm getting pissed off
Scared that the afterparty plans won't work out
Truly anxious, need to get an address
As the bouncers are rushing me
So pick up now, saatana!
(The number cannot be reached right now)
Perhana! How come nobody has time to hangout today either
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday

Smart ones have left to sleep
I'm doomed to party
Here I am
I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I don't want to go home
How hard can it be to take that task?
They're pecking, knocking
Saying get away from here and try to lead me out
I grab the phone again
(The number you have dialed cannot be reached)
Perhana! At home there's nobody and there's nobody to text to
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday
