Do you remember this viral video of a teacher of disco dancing a couple of years ago? Well, I saw it, but I didn’t know that is FINNISH. Exactly his name is Åke Blomqvist and it’s a famous Finnish dance teacher. The song is called Moskau by Dschinghis Khan , there is also a Finnish version of the song called Volga by Frederik. Enjoy! I love it.
Now Jenkki, a chewing gum/candys brand very popular in Finland wants to rescue his virality. I saw a lot of print ads, billboards and TV commercials during the begining of 2009. I wanted to write about it before, but I didn’t see any video in Internet or Youtube. Finally last week I saw that they publish it in jenkki.fi, but …. in the moment I’m writing this I check and it’s not anymore in the front page. I don’t understand why. Anyway, you can access by this url still, I don’t know for how long. http://www.jenkki.fi/twisted/twisted.swf. (screenshot). And also someone put it in youtube:
The name of the song is Ernst August Quellen Weekend Twist
