I accidentally went to page 1 and this made me laugh much harder than the first time I saw it. I want to draw attention to it, to see if everyone finds it funnier the second time.

I have watched every Ievan Polkka video posted so far and understood zero words in any of the languages but I stand by my original assessment that the song rules

It's a Finnish song, plus there's a lot of scat singing so you're hearing a foreign language plus nonsensical sounds for the sake of melody slipped in. There are lyrics but obviously I'm not sure on the quality of the translation;

The sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor's
And set my feet a-tapping oh!
Ieva's mother had her eye on her daughter but
Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
'Cause who's going to listen to mother saying no
When we're all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
As people crowded round to wish her luck.
Everyone was hot but it didn't seem to bother
The handsome young man, the dashing buck.
'Cause who's going to mind a drop of sweat
When he's all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva's mother she shut herself away
In her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
In a neighbor's house when the lights are dim.
'Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
When you're all busy dancing to and fro!

When the music stopped then the real fun began
And that's when the laddie fooled around.
When he took her home, when the dancing was over
Her mother angrily waiting they found.
But I said to her, Ieva, now don't you weep
And we'll soon be dancing to and fro!

I said to her mother now stop that noise
Or I won't be responsible for what I do.
If you go quietly and stay in your room
You won't get hurt while your daughter I woo.
'Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
When he's all busy dancing to and fro!

One thing I tell you is you won't trap me,
No, you won't find me an easy catch.
Travel to the east and travel to the west but
Ieva and I are going to make a match.
'Cause this fine laddie ain't the bashful sort
When he's all busy dancing to and fro

Got a Furbo for christmas. Turns out my dog and cat just sleep all day (figured as much). I'm in the free trial time so they send alerts and recaps of the day set to stupid music. Figured I'd share to get my money's worth from the cuteness.

I do hate those when they seemingly never end. Looking at you PSN...
And I also always face the same quandary, is that part of the traffic light?

+And those stupid captchas use the same images for years, a robot just has to recognize the pictures.
