“The Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear and Other Naughty Diversions”

“Starting as if in the good old-fashioned Two-Step, the dancers suddenly let go hands, the man slipping behind his fair companion, there is a little step and a hop, something like a turkey might be expected to do, then a fresh grip around the waist of the young lady, the man snuggles up ever so closely behind her and they hop, skip and jump and half run along.”

Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

Same band with E Karelian tunes

Finnish tunes from Kaustinen



They were obviously communists:
Fyyralyyra was formed in Jyväskylä in late spring 1976 as an intention to unite influences from various musical genres and knock down boundaries between them. The musicians in the original lineup were Jouni Koskimäki (piano, mandolin, bouzouki, balalaika, violin, moon lute, acoustic guitar, bass, accordion, vocals), Hannu Lehtoranta (flutes, birch bark horn, alto saxophone, mandolin, percussions, vocals), Hannu Tähtelä (bass, acoustic guitar, tabla, harmonica, Chinese wood drum) and Jarmo Valkola (drums, percussions, tabla).

All members had previously played in numerous local jazz/pop bands. The best known of these were probably Euforia, who even managed to visit Poland and had Valkola as a member for one and a half years. With the exception of him, all boys studied musicology at the time Fyyralyyra was born. Koskimäki also worked as director for two pop groups in Säynätsalo workers' institute.

I could not find a lot of band history, but Elli comes across as a fairly normal in person. She speaks like we all do in Finnish. I imagine the band audition (she was last to be hired) was something like Garbage auditioning Shirley Manson. All the other appicants were sent home.
