The Scandanavians know how to make some catchy tunes. In Norway, the soundtrack to a frozen pizza commercial went on to top the pop charts for eight weeks. It's not hard to hear why; they really manage to put those deligtful Fanta girls to shame.

In Finnland, meanwhile, a group called Loituma had a hit with Ievan Polkka, which is deligtful on it's own, but became the internet equivalent of crack cocaine when 24 seconds of the intermezzo was paired with a few seconds of anime to create whatever the hell this is. After a few hours of watching this, I started thinking the leek-twirling girl was telling me to burn things.
