Hevisaurus

Upon first watching this I had a very distinct moment that could only be described as "WTF?!" I do not know Finnish. I am not even sure I knew it was Finnish at the time. Come to find out this band, called Hevisaurus, is a Finnish metal band that writes children's songs. Our friend Pete sent this to us, no idea how he found it. So I, like a good lemming, post it on my facebook page, which starts a most interesting conversation with a tall, pale friend of Norwegian decent. He points out to me that this is a song written about the last mammoth. They are singing him into his final sleep.

"Brushing his long hair 

Blowing his trunk as well 

He cleans his tusks 

On top of the cold permafrost 

He lays down his great and mighty head 

And straightens his tail 

The wind blows 

All land covered in snow 

He falls asleep under the tree 

Good night, the last mammoth 

It's time to go to sleep 

Good night, the last mammoth 

You will be remembered"

Wow.



Thanks to Pete and EBG!!
