1) A mononym of Ilkka Lipsanen (b. 24 Sept 1942, Pori, Finland) is a Finnish singer and guitarist. He started his career with the band Islanders who released a couple of singles, among them Danny's first recording which was in English: East Virginia by Joan Baez in 1964. During his national service Danny switched to his native Finnish and recorded two hits, "Kauan" ("Downtown" by Petula Clark) and "Piilopaikka" ("You've Got Your Troubles"). After the army in 1966 Danny launched his own management company D-Tuotanto and started his hugely popular and spectacular "Danny-Shows" which toured around Finland every summer all the way to the late 1970s, with a different theme every year and an entourage of other well-known singers and entertainers. During the 1960s Danny recorded a number of hits, among them "Kesäkatu" (Loving Spoonful's "Summer In The City"), "Vähän ennen kyyneleitä" ("El angel de la guarda"), "Tuuliviiri", "Rebecca" and "Se eikö todista että muutuin" ("If I Promise").
Some of the best known hits for Danny in the 1970s were "Vai niin, vai niin" ("How Do You Do"), "Maantieltä taloon" ("Son of My Father" by Chicory Tip) and "Kuusamo" ("L'ete Indien - Africa" by Joe Dassin). In 1977 Danny joined together with former Miss Finland, Armi Aavikko, with whom he had the extremely popular hits "Tahdon olla sulle hellä" and "Kaiken sulle antaisin".
A song by Jukka Kuoppamäki, "Tämä taivas, tämä maa", was a big hit for Danny in 1992. In 1997 performed in China and in 1988 in Turkey. These days Danny is considered an elder statesman in Finnish popular music, still active in music business and touring.
Danny achieved some notoriety outside Finland in 2006 when the 1978 music video duet with the late Armi Aavikko, "Tahdon olla sulle hellä", sung in English as "I Wanna Love You Tender" became an internet meme. The choreography of this video was particularly noteworthy. While it was apparently intended to be "erotic and tantalizing", in the eyes of many it principally succeeded in being hilarious.

2) A mononym of Swedish pop singer Danny Saucedo (b. Daniel Gabriel Alessandro Saucedo Grzechowski, 25 February 1986, in Stockholm, Stockholms Län, Sweden).
Saucedo embarked on his journey in Idol 2006 by auditioning with the song "I Swear" by the vocal quartet All-4-One. He was praised by the jury for his touching and convincing voice. Saucedo joined his fellow contestant Felicia Brandström in a duet, singing Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do", which, according to the jury, was the best performance until then in the Idol contest. The jury was unanimous in its opinion that if both were to continue at the level of that performance, they would easily end up in the Idol final. The jury's comments were harsh after Danny's performance of Nick Lachey's single "What's Left of Me" in the semi-final, however, as they claimed his voice did not suit this song. In the top 11 final, Danny sang The Jacksons' "Blame It on the Boogie" while doing some Jackson moves. In the top 10 final, Danny stormed the stage and even made a jury member Kishti Tomita weep in tears, while he sang the ballad "Öppna din dörr" by Swedish singer Tommy Nilsson.
In 2006, after the end of the Idol season, he released his first single, a cover of "Öppna din dörr". The debut single charted at #24 on the Swedish Singles Chart. Danny formed the trio E.M.D. with the previous Idol contestants Erik Segerstedt and Mattias Andréasson, at the same time putting his solo output as well.
Danny was one of the participants in the television show Let's Dance 2008 (Swedish version of Dancing with the Stars). In September 2008, Danny along with professional dancer Jeanette Carlsson took part in the Eurovision Dance Contest 2008. The couple placed 12th in the final on 6th September in Glasgow.
Danny participated in Melodifestivalen 2011 as a solo artist, singing the song "In the Club". He won the first semi-final and qualified for the final, which was held on 12th March in Stockholm. He placed second (placing also second in the rankings of both the international juries and televoters), behind Eric Saade's song "Popular". Danny received a total of 149 points, whereas Saade received 193 points.
Danny has released 3 albums: "Heart.Beats", "Set Your Body Free" (which includes the single "Radio", which stayed at the top of the Swedish chart for 2 weeks) and "In the Club" (which includes his Melodifestivalen 2011 entry, "In the Club").
3) A New Orleans / Los Angeles, USA exotica band with members including: Courtney Asztalos, Heather Lee Smith, Danny Clifton and Ryan O'Malley. They débuted with EP Pontchartrain Beach (Jul 2014).

Hiljainen kitara
Danny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hiljaa, shh, hiljaa kuulla soiton mд saan.
Kuuletko sen? Muuan muukalainen
Kertoo nдin soitollaan
Laredon kaupunkiin kerran
Tuli ratsain niin hiljainen mies.
Vaikka viipyi vain tuokion verran,
Mistд saapui hдn, tiedд ei kukaan
Ei lausunut mies sanaakaan,
Mutta kauneimman tytцn sai mukaan
Hiljaa soittain kitarallaan.
CHORUS:
Hiljaa, shh, hiljaa kuulla soiton mд saan.
Kuuletko sen? Muuan muukalainen
Kertoo nдin soitollaan
Kun Laredon kaupunki kerran
Alkoi hдitд jo juhlia, niin,
Soivat kellot vain tuokion verran,
Jonkun puuttuvan kun huomattiin.
Tuli morsian - nдhnyt ei kukaan
Vain sulhasta kumppaninaan.
Oli viety mies yцn mustan mukaan.
Tuuli soittaa nyt vuorilla vaan.
CHORUS:
Hiljaa, shh, hiljaa kuulla soiton tuon saan.
Kuuletko sen? Tuuli yksinдinen

The song "Hiljainen kitara" by Danny tells a story of a mysterious stranger who arrived in Laredo town, riding on a horse. He was a quiet man who didn't say much but managed to charm the prettiest girl in town with his beautiful guitar playing. The story is told in a first-person narrative, where the singer, who is listening to the guitar playing, is asking the listener if they can hear the stranger playing and what story the music is telling.
In the second verse, we find out that Laredo town is celebrating a wedding. However, the joyous occasion turns into sorrow when it is discovered that the bride is missing. Soon, it becomes clear that the mysterious stranger has taken her away, leaving only his guitar and the mournful sound of the wind in the mountains.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Hiljaa, shh, hiljaa kuulla soiton mд saan" ("Quietly, shh, I can hear the music") and asks if the listener can hear it too. The music carries the emotions of the story and adds to the mystery and sadness of the story - it seems to hold the secrets of the stranger and his connection to the town.
Overall, the lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of a small town, its people, and how the arrival of a stranger can change their lives forever. The guitar playing represents the stranger's soulful expression and his way of expressing himself through music.
