Trubadur K. Pyysalo
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rämpyttää kitaraa kotipitserian tuulikaapissa
Ohikulkijat ihastuu soitantaa
Nakkaa keimon hattuun kierteellä visat vinkumaan,
No vinkumaaan hohoijaa
Refrein:
Keimo paiskoo sooloja saa kauppiaalta kaurakakkuja
Polyneesialainen mummo ispestia
Antaaa typyille ämpärillisen kilohaivia
Miss maitoaate voittaja sonja haivenkanka
Ihastuu ja keimolle kiihottavasti pyllistää,
Pyllistää jeejeee häää
Refrein
Artistilta moisesta kitarasta kieli katkeaa
Sonja oitis tuulikaappiin kellistää ja suudellaan
Kaupanpäälle lätkä liigalokojä
Toivon että sonjalla ei ollut pöpöjä hähäää
Refrein (2x)
The song Trubadur K. Pyysalo by the Finnish punk rock band Klamydia is about a town troubadour named Keimo Pyysalo. The lyrics describe Keimo playing his guitar in the wind corridor of a local pizzeria, where his music attracts the attention of passersby who toss coins into his hat. The catchy melody and acoustics of the corridor impress both Keimo and his listeners.
The chorus of the song mentions how Keimo's expert guitar solos are rewarded with oatmeal cakes from the nearby shopkeeper. The lyrics also introduce a Polynesian grandmother who gives a bucket of fish to some girls, which excites Keimo who then praises Sonja for her good looks. He then proceeds to kiss her while using a league hockey poster as a makeshift bedspread. The song ends on a humorous note as the chorus is repeated with a reference to "bugs" that Sonja may have picked up during the encounter.
