Huilumies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huilumies (English translation: "A Flute Man") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed in Finnish by Vesa-Matti Loiri.
The song was performed tenth on the night (following Switzerland's Paola with Cinéma and preceding Norway's Sverre Kjelsberg & Mattis Hætta with Sámiid Ædnan). At the close of voting, it had received 6 points, placing 19th (last) in a field of 19.
The song is sung from the perspective of the tititular "flute man", who sings that while he may not be able to express his feelings in words, he is able to do so with his flute.
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1981 Contest by Riki Sorsa with Reggae OK.
