Hah!

There are loads old british and US hit songs sung in finnish. and they do sound ridicilous.

I couldn't find any in youtube
, but I can do some more extensive searching if you really need these.

edit:

AAARGH I FOUND ONE, PROBABLY THE MOST HORRIBLE EVER MADE, EVEN WITH A "VIDEO"

In the meanwhile you can enjoy these:

There's a gorgeous cover of No No No by a French trip-hop act called Melaaz on the Lamb Back To Mine.

And from the Japanese delegation:

The Pillows - Crazy Sunshine, Last Dinosaur, and a bunch more of their stuff. Really excellent rock right there.

Oh yeah, it's also on the DJ Kicks by Daddy G from Massive Attack. Great track, that.

There's a popular mexican group that plays band music that made some time ago covers of well known classics such The Night Chicago Died and Hotel California... they resulted damn funny... and danceable.

I can vouch for that. Find some Finnhits. Its awful but hilariously awful. Tomi: who's that old finnish guy that murdered Sting's Fields of Gold?

I used to have to put up with this crap on the bus on the way to work when I lived in Finland. Seems to be bus drivers radio.
