Frederik became a household name in Finnish musicscene in the 1960's. Since then he has scored several hits in Finland every decade. Frederik has recorded over 300 songs and released over 20 albums. Many of them have sold gold in Finland.
Frederik is an unique character in the Finnish music scene. In the 1970's he often posed as a machoman, the "Tom Jones of Finland".
In this decade he hasn't got big hits anymore, but he records new songs constantly. Many of them are covers like Kumimies (Dragostea din tei) or Seksipommi (Sexbomb). His previous hits are also mostly covers - three big hits are from repertoire of German Dschinghis Khan group. He has also made cover songs of Village People and so on.
One of the biggest hits is anyway Titanic from the Finnish National Final for Eurovision Song Contest 1981.
Frederik keeps his own style even though the world changes around. There are discorhythms and schlager melodies, and young people is partying in his gigs - even though the man himself celebrated his 60th birthday.

Frederik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alan aina kuumentua
Silmät antaa vinkin
Nostat drinkin kaikki seuraa sua
Mua kiusaat katseellas
Olet kuumin uhmakas
Täällä tuoksuu kookos
Oonhan jookos haaveenas
Hei beibi
Otat sä mut jäillä vai ilman
Hei Gran Canaria
Mä astun aurinkoon
Mua naiset piirittää
Myös mulla kääntyy pää
Hei Gran Canaria
Nyt öljyt vartaloon
Hei beibi näytän tien
Yön läpi aamuun vien
Tule viereen valpastun
Sinä tahdot olla mun
Lantioosi zoomaan
Siihen kuumaan kuumaan uppoudun
Tosi pommin syliin saan
Kera rommin miksaillaan
Pientä päivänvarjoo tarjoo
Baarimikko lasistaan
Hei mennäänkö kuutamouinnille?
Hei Gran Canaria
Mä astun aurinkoon
Mua naiset piirittää
Myös mulla kääntyy pää
Hän tarttuu kädestäin
Ja korvaan kuiskuttaa
Mojito ystäväin
On aika nannanaaa
Hän vie mut huoneeseen
Ja valot himmentää
Syön drinkin juoden sen
Tuo uutta säpinää

Joka ilta katsoit mua
Every night you looked at me
Alan aina kuumentua
I always start to heat up
Silmät antaa vinkin
Your eyes give a hint
Nostat drinkin kaikki seuraa sua
You lift your drink and everyone follows you
Mua kiusaat katseellas
You tease me with your gaze
Olet kuumin uhmakas
You're the hottest rebellious one
Täällä tuoksuu kookos
Here it smells like coconut
Oonhan jookos haaveenas
I'm your dream, aren't I?
Hei beibi
Hey baby
Otat sä mut jäillä vai ilman
Will you take me with you or leave me?
Hei Gran Canaria
Hey Gran Canaria
Mä astun aurinkoon
I step into the sun
Mua naiset piirittää
Women surround me
Myös mulla kääntyy pää
My head turns as well
Nyt öljyt vartaloon
Now oil on the body
Hei beibi näytän tien
Hey baby, I'll show the way
Yön läpi aamuun vien
I'll take you through the night until morning
Tule viereen valpastun
Come close, I'm on guard
Sinä tahdot olla mun
You want to be mine
Lantioosi zoomaan
I zoom in to your hips
Siihen kuumaan kuumaan uppoudun
I immerse myself in that hot hotness
Tosi pommin syliin saan
I get a real bomb in my lap
Kera rommin miksaillaan
We mix with rum
Pientä päivänvarjoo tarjoo
The bartender offers a small parasol
Baarimikko lasistaan
The bartender from his glass
Hei mennäänkö kuutamouinnille?
Hey, shall we go for a moonlit swim?
Hän tarttuu kädestäin
She takes my hand
Ja korvaan kuiskuttaa
And whispers in my ear
Mojito ystäväin
Mojito, my friend
On aika nannanaaa
It's delicious time
Hän vie mut huoneeseen
She takes me to the room
Ja valot himmentää
And dims the lights
Syön drinkin juoden sen
I eat the drink, drinking it
Tuo uutta säpinää
Brings new excitement
