1) Agents is a Finnish band formed in 1979, playing rautalanka, schlager and rock music. The head figure and musical director of the band is solo guitarist Esa Pulliainen.

Agents was founded in 1979 on the ruins of Tuomari Nurmio's band Köyhien ystävät. All former members of Köyhien ystävät, with the exception of Tuomari Nurmio, played in the original Agents. The band also recruited Esa's brother Kai Pulliainen and keyboard player Jukka Ollila. The lead singer was Pekka Rytkönen, nicknamed Beat-Pete.

Agents started co-operation with Rauli Badding Somerjoki in autumn 1981, which also meant the end of Beat-Pete's career in Agents. The keyboard player was also changed, the new keyboard player was Petri Rantala.

The band's first album, Ikkunaprinsessa, was published in 1982. The album included the hits "Ikkunaprinsessa", "Kuihtuu kesäinen maa" and "Muista hyviä aikoja". Agents participated in the lyrics and music of the album.

The next album, Tähdet, tähdet, was published in 1983. The name song of the album became one of Badding's best known hits. Other hits from the album include "Nukkuja kaunein", "Yön hiljaisuudessa" and "Kun aika rientää". Esa Pulliainen arranged almost all music in the album.

The last album made in co-operation with Somerjoki, Laivat, was published in 1985. On the album, Agents plays under the alias The Young Beats. Hits from the last Badding album include "Laivat", "Illan varjoon himmeään", "Lähdön hetkellä" and "Tahdon".

Co-operation with Badding ended in 1985. During his last years, Badding performed with various bands, but Laivat was his last album. Agents had already been performing on and off with Topi Sorsakoski, who now became the official lead singer of the band. As well as Badding, the keyboard player also resigned from the band.

With Topi Sorsakoski as their primary lead singer, Agents went on to record their next studio album In Beat in 1985. The album, produced by Pedro Hietanen, was released in 1986 and it topped the Finnish album charts. In Beat was a commercial succees and it was certified double platinum in Finland. The album provided hit songs "Surujen kitara", "Salattu Suru", "Eeva" and "Olen yksin".

In the next year, the band published another hit album, Besame Mucho. To the surprise of many, the album has no name song, instead the name is a trick played on purpose by Agents and Topi Sorsakoski. Hits from the album include "Kaksi kitaraa", "Kauan" and "Valot" (Badding's song as an instrumental version).

In 1988, the band published their third album, Pop. This album also sold well. Hits from the album include "Tyhjää", "Varjojen yö", "On kesäyö", "Jo riittää" and "Nyt kaikki muuttunut on".

In 1989, Agents did not publish a new album. The EMI record company decided to publish a collection album called Greatest Hits, which the band did not like. The collection album sold well and reached a gold record.

In 1990, Agents' and Topi Sorsakoski's last album, Half and Half, was published. Half of the album contains sung material and the other half contains Agents' rautalanka music.

Topi Sorsakoski & Agents split up in 1992 because of internal arguments. Topi had published his solo album Yksinäisyys in the previous years, which anticipated the end of the co-operation. One of the reasons was Topi Sorsakoski's financial troubles in the early 1990s, and he would have wanted higher commissions from their performances and records. In common with Topi Sorsakoski, the assisting guitarist Hans Etholén and the drummer Juha Takanen, both of which had been playing in the band since the Köyhien ystävät days, also quit the band.

In 1992, Esa Pulliainen invited Jorma Kääriäinen as the lead singer of Agents. The band also got a new drummer, Heikki Sandrén. The keyboard player on the albums was J-P Virtanen.

The first album, Agents Forever, was published in 1995. Hits included "Antaudun", "Tähti kaukainen" and "Pikku Mona".

The next album, Agents Is Back!, was published in 1996. Hits included "Moskovan valot", "Salainen rakkaus" and "Salaperäinen".

The third album, Agents Is More!, was published in 1997. The album also contained Agents' rautalanka music. Hits included "Päivin öin", "Sinä vain", "Valot" (Badding's song as a new version), "My babe", "King Creole" and "Minä kuljen".

The fourth album, Agents Is Best!, was published in 1998. Hits included "Illan varjoon himmeään", "Muistan kesän" and "Olen syytön".

Agents started a TV show called Laulava sydän on YLE TV2. In 1999, a double album with the same name was published, featuring many other artists, such as Ville Valo, Pate Mustajärvi, Marko Haavisto, Topi Sorsakoski and Reijo Taipale. The album reached a gold record.

Devil in Disguise
Agents Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This one's for the girl who's always spending.
This one's for the girl who never showed up to her wedding.
6,000 miles away my heart is mending.
I rolled this dice, I payed the price and that's my happy ending.

[Chorus:]
I've been waiting for so long,
Doctor tell me what went wrong,

As the dating, always waiting, once again,
And doctor said "You're in love with the devil."
I'm in love with the devil,
You're in love with the devil,
I'm in love with the devil,
I believe she's a devil,
You're in love with the devil.
You're the devil's go.

Today I made a breakfast in bed.
She smiled at me then she showed to me the 2 horns on her head.
I'd kiss her but she's hot to the touch.
I'd phone her but a call to tell just cost too damn much.

[Chorus]

2 horns, big smile, red lips, she's hipnotized with you again!!!!!

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Devil In Disguise" by Agents is about a man who falls in love with a woman who turns out to be nothing but trouble. In the first verse, he talks about a woman who spends recklessly and doesn't show up to her own wedding, which suggests that she may have some issues with commitment and responsibility. However, despite her flaws, the singer's heart is mending because he believes he has finally found happiness with her. In the chorus, the singer seeks a doctor's opinion on his situation, but instead of providing any medical diagnosis, the doctor simply tells him that he's in love with the devil. The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's desperation and confusion over his feelings for this problematic woman.

In the second verse, the singer describes how he made breakfast in bed for the woman he loves, but she reveals that she has horns on her head. Despite being surprised and taken aback, the singer is still attracted to her, but acknowledges that calling her would be too expensive. The song ends on the repeated chorus, with the singer struggling to come to terms with his own emotions and the fact that the woman he loves may not be good for him.
