Kuunkuiskaajat release video for Finnish entry

The official preview video for the 2010 Finnish Eurovision Song Contest entry Työlki ellää by Kuunkuiskaajat has been released. It shows the girls in a wintery countryside setting.

The video was shot in Uotila ratsastustalli, a riding centre in Nurmijärvi, north of Helsinki last week, according to the band's Facebook page. It sees a return to a tradition of Finnish Eurovision preview videos shot outdoors in snow.

Työlki ellää was the most played song on the YLE Radio Suomi last week. The girls have previously recorded video greetings to be shown at national finals of Moldova, Bulgaria and Latvia.

The girls keep a videoblog of their preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest on the YLE Satumaa website here (in Finnish)

To all those who ask this to remain in Finnish: I'm almost 100% sure it will :) I remember the girls saying that in some interview or other.

I like the video, it's charming, fairly simple but not trying too much, maybe low budget, but do you really need to burn millions to make a ESC preview video..? No. I think this will be very refreshing watching among all those shake-your-ass videos with scantily-clad girls that many countries send ;)

This video is awful and so amateur that probably killed the song and its chances for reaching the final. Pitty, because I like this melody xD

I love the Finnish song this year. This song has clealy grown on me and I specially like how the Finnish sounds in this song. If it were translated into English, I am sure I would not like it so much. I find it it so lively and delightful. I love it. Do not translate into English , Finland please
The best of luck for Finland this year

The girls are planning to visit during the spring at least in Russia, Germany and in Serbia. Finnish artists usually don`t do promo tours.

good luck girls... I hope we finns go to the final this year!! good luck everybody :)

their record company is very small and i think they dont have much money to do mtv style video and YLE is so niggardly that they dont pay nothing accessory.

Wonder if all those who recent years have claimed that Finland SHOULD send an entry in Finnish cus "it´s such a beautiful language" (I happen to agree it is!) actually will vote for this??

I guess the song is catchy - but my mom likes it...so how can I?? ;)
