Text and subtext in Käärijä songs : an interpretation

Cha cha cha

We're partying!!

but also, isn't it sad how we tend to be so reliant on alcohol before we relax and let our personalities out?

Auto Jää

We're partying!!

but also, keep in mind that while you're this intoxicated, it's entirely unthinkable to operate heavy machinery, so please make a plan for your transport later when you're all partied out.

It's Crazy It's Party

We're partying!!

but also, fame can be fickle and overwhelming, so make sure to take care of yourself. It's not quite natural to live a life of party 24/7/365, you also need the time to wind down and gain some perspective. (also gay stuff)

As a foreigner, the funniest thing about Käärijä being so unproblematic is that his music doesn't sound unproblematic.

Looking up lyrics of Yhtä vailla, I was bracing myself for 5 slurs and being told to go make him a sandwich. Meanwhile Yhtä vailla:

#he literally sings either about having no money no job no bitches or about getting drunk with da homies #king shit #käärijä #kaarija #jere pöyhönen #i was prepared that looking up lyrics is gonna ruin him for me but it made him BETTER #relatable king

English:

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 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 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 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 Me and Celine Dion

Kot kot kot kot kot Here I am Me and Celine Dion Kot kot kot kot kot Here I am

I don't want to slow dance I want the-

Still thinking how unnecessary this video was, no, THESE VIDEOS because he just had to make one in english and one in finnish?? Dude just wanted to brag that Bojan spent a night at his place rather than some hotel in Helsinki. (Also he calls Bojan’s lace shirt ”SHOW UNDERWEAR”)

#shirt so slutty it’s underwear in Jere’s opinion #and the way he’s so offended by that shirt #well it made him lose his mind AND lyrics s #And these clothes are still in Finland lmao #neatly folded somewhere in his house #käärijä #bojan cvjetićanin #blast from the not so past but still past friday continues

Cha Cha Cha demo(?) version/ Mr. Cha Cha lyrics and English translation

Tummat silmät ruskea tukka

Keltainen puku kuin auringonkukka

Sekaisin koko Suomi on

Ku paikalle marssii Cha Cha Cha Cha

Varastaa heti huomion

Ku pöydällä tanssii Cha Cha Cha Cha

Kuka on tuo mies? Kuka on tuo mies?

On pelkkää juhlaa, kilttii ja tuhmaa

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha

Yön selkään hän ratsastaa

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha

Kuka on tuo mies? Kuka on tuo mies?

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha

Kaataa päälleen shampanjaa

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha

Kuka on tuo mies?

Mä oon herra Cha Cha Cha

Translation:

Dark eyes, brown hair

Suit as yellow as a sunflower

All of Finland is baffled (or: goes crazy)

When Cha Cha Cha Cha marches in

Immediately steals the attention

When dances Cha cha cha cha on the table

Who is that man? Who is that man?

It's/Is pure party, nice and naughty

Cha cha cha cha cha

Into the night he rides

Cha cha cha cha cha

Who is that man? Who is that man?

Cha cha cha cha cha

Pours champagne on himself

Cha cha cha cha cha

Who is that man?

I'm mr Cha Cha Cha

#based on the “I'm Mr Cha Cha Cha” it's the original/demo version of CCC #those lyrics foresaw a lot of things huh #käärijä

Lots of people have already pointed this out, but Ruoska seems to be a play on their careers and their public image. The song disguises itself as an expression of kinkier desires with the chorus and snippets of the verses' lyrics. And them, since they both express themselves within these themes in the media from time to time. The music video balances this by not being explicit at all, instead it's all about the scrutiny of being a public figure.

Listening to the lyrics and seeing the mv, my impression of the song is that its message isn't actually about expression of sxual freedom, but taking twisted pleasure from being torn to shreds by the media. Because if your image has unconventional aspects, that's sharkbait to peoples opinions, especially when you've gained fame.

With that, I cant' help but wonder, if it was intentional to promo the song first and foremost as sxual? Because that's the shallow top-layer people love to stay on, and if there's no deeper dive into the message, that's what people will criticize and comment on?

Which would make it fucking hilarious that they went on with the photoshoots and iltalehti interview about "being explicit" since that's exactly what that trash magazine will focus on solely.

#käärijä #now ofc two things can co-exist and a part of the message is about s*xual self-expression and it shouldnt be criticized in the first place. #it would be very valid for them. they both have clearly a desire to express themselves like that #im not putting down that aspect its a clear and good message too #but the lyrics have very layered references and themes of being bombarded by hateful messages and criticism. the mv straight up shows this #and the song seems like a powerful take towards the mentality of withstanding the criticism because you refuse to back down #suru.kirjoitus

People's Champion lyrics + English translation

Kun olin pieni äiti tiesi Musta tulee herkkusieni People's champion People's champion En taivu tappioon, oh no Pystys ku tatti oon

Kevät kaks kolme taksi tuli pihaan Ja mietin mihin tuli ruvettuu kun lähin himast Oli jännityst ilmas Ja messis mutsin pakkaamat eväät [?] sekä unelma ykkössijast Siit tuli haloo kun tulin taloon Vaikken Englanniks sanaakaan osannu sanoo Mut oli liian myöhäst lähteä pakoo (Oh yeah same in English) Let's go come on

Kun olin pieni äiti tiesi Musta tulee herkkusieni People's champion People's champion En taivu tappioon, oh no Pystys ku tatti oon Oon people's champion

Kevät kaks kolme kaukana kotoo Mä ihmettelin arenaa Oli sil kieltämät kokoo Joka toine tyylii ottamas fotoo Samal ku suomipoikaa talutettii nimmarijonoon Se oli kaikkee muuta ku divaritasoo Siks jännäkakka valuu pitkin lahkeit ja vakoo Mut oli liian myöhäst lähteä pakoo (Oh yeah same in English) Let's go come on

Kun olin pieni äiti tiesi Musta tulee herkkusieni People's champion People's champion En taivu tappioon, oh no Pystys ku tatti oon Oon people's champion Champion

People's champion Mä kävin laittamas liikettä lantioon Mä oon people's champion Ja pääsin muuttamaan yksiöst kaksioon Tää on teijän kaikkien ansioo (Thank you everybody, I love you) Let's go come on

Kun olin pieni äiti tiesi Musta tulee herkkusieni People's champion People's champion En taivu tappioon, oh no Pystys ku tatti oon Oon people's champion

English:

When I was little my mom knew I'll become a champignon People's champion People's champion I won't bend into defeat, oh no I'm standing upright like a mushroom

Spring twenty three the taxi came to the yard And I wondered what did I get myself into when I left home There was nervousness in the air and with me, snacks packed by my mom And the dream about the first place Commotion started when I came into the house Even though I couldn't speak a word of English But it was too late to escape (Oh yeah same in English) Let's go come on

When I was little my mom knew I'll become a champignon People's champion People's champion I won't bend into defeat, oh no I'm standing upright like a mushroom I'm people's champion

Spring twenty three far away from home I wondered about the arena It was undeniably big Every other person taking my photo While they guided the Finnish boy to the autograph queue It was anything but division level That's why nervous poop was running down my pants' leg and crack But it was too late to escape (Oh yeah same in English) Let's go come on

When I was little my mom knew I'll become a champignon People's champion People's champion I won't bend into defeat, oh no I'm standing upright like a mushroom I'm people's champion Champion

People's champion I went and made them move their hips I'm people's champion And got to move from a one-room apartment to a two-room apartment It's all because of you (Thank you everybody, I love you) Let's go come on

When I was little my mom knew I'll become a champignon People's champion People's champion I won't bend into defeat, oh no I'm standing upright like a mushroom I'm people's champion

You know what I like about Käärijä's lyrics?

Well, many things, but one big thing is that even if he is singing about gambling or partying and getting drunk there is still this vibe of.... Being sensible or responsible, even if you are doing stupid/wild things.

Like in "Auto jää" together with Antti Tuisku they are singing about deciding to leave the car to the parking slot because they are partying hard and too drunk to drive home = encouraging people to not drive while drunk but putting a humorous twist in it.

In Klo23 he is singing about leaving the appartment at 23:00 in order to not disturb all of the neighbours in the appartment building. He is having a rave but also still follows the appartment building's rules. (Although he doesn't care if one neighbour is distrurbed before the silence starts at 23:00) Obviously he is also making fun of the fact that his Rockstar lifestyle has to face the reality that he is living in a 20m³ appartment, but things can be multilayered ya know?

#käärijä #listen as a lover of finnish language good finnish lyrics always get me and Käärijä is spitting good stuff #no I'm not saying that the lyrics are masterpieces #they are simple but good
