"Finland Suddenly Has Humour!"

In August 2007, Finnish pop singer Gregorius (a.k.a Esko Nick), together with choreographer Jari Sumulin, and the Noel Lahti Orchestra, made a video parody (today's gem) of the Village People's (left) huge 1979 hit - YMCA!

"Finland", reported YLE News. "suddenly has 'humour', a strong export product."

The music video, posted on Youtube, MySpace and Google, quickly became the world's most popular netvideo.

Gregorius NMKY, as the video was called, is still in cyberspace today, but where is pop star Gregorius? Rumor has it that he is working as a librarian somewhere in Espoo!

"Sic transit gloria..."
