The following is demo minute-long demo:
The lyrics translated:
Liked the first one of the songs (lyrics translated):
- Sock puppet
Politicians are fucking sock puppets
They don't have brains
They don't have a heart
They are assholes
They don't even eat potatoes
Are they even human?
Are they even human?
I fucking hate puppets
- Sukkanukke
Poliitikot ovat vittun sukka nukkeja
Heillä ei ole aivoja
Heillä ei ole sydäntä
He ovat kusipaita
He eivät syö perunat
Ovatko he edes ihmisiä?
Ovatko he edes ihmisiä?
Vittu mä vihaan nukkeja
The grammar is very, very slightly off and sock puppet is actually käsinukke (literally hand puppet). But this is a punk song and the lyrics are completely fine. I'm impressed!
*) Ransu is a sock puppet famous for being the main character in a children's show Pikku Kakkonen that was on when I was a child many decades ago.
Ransu is the creation of the actor Pertti Nättilä who passed away at the age of 87 in 2021.
This really seems to insult the politicians. Although there are truths in it.
Good song
Well, that's a punk rock initiative. A completely different one, if you let me add it in words. Lovely proposal, my friend @markkujantunen
