This song was too advanced for ESC, Monica completely slayed the mega high note! I can see why its still popular today, I hope to visit Lapland in the future. Finland rocks.
Monica was performing in high fever and said in an interview a while ago that she can't actually remember much of the performance, than the hysteric fear she wouldn't make it to the high notes... LOL
On one hand - 1977 was a bloody well stacked year, I don't think I dislike anything in that contest. Pure gem after pure gem On the other hand - even in that field this song just wows me. At least top 3 for me.
Such a great song, it made a difference. That amazing high pitch is legendary! I remember watching Eurovision in 1977, I was 12 then, when it still was a wonderful show. Cheers from Spain.
What a beautiful song from the time when music sounded so real and people looked natural... I am glad to say that I was born exactly a week before 1977 Eurovision. Respect to the charming Finnish singer and - especially - to memory of the gentleman at the piano, the author of the song, Mr Aarno Raninen who passed away recently... Regards from Poland!
She's great and it was a hit overhere in Israel, although we call winter anithing below 20C and a few drops of rain. There were times when every country taking part of the ESC brought its own culture. Today they all sound the same...
Yes. In Argentina (where I was born), Laponia is a brand of ice cream (they used to have the best pistaccio and vanilla cream). Lapponia is a great tune!
This is one of my very favourites of our entries ever! I also like the visual style in the set up in this performance. I suppose it´s probably trying to reflect the colours and atmosphere of Lapland. Monica´s dress is beautiful too and it has something in common in Abba-ladies stage costumes in their late 70´s tour. I remember watching this live back then.
I wish I could speak Finnish to write in Finnish how much I do love this song after so many years and what an amazing singer Monica Aspelund is. I think that she should have taken to Wembley the same earrings that she had in the Finnish national selection.
I remember this from when I was a child; one of my favourite Eurovision songs, I think! I love her style too: fantastic dress and jewelry. Much better than the rubbish we get at Eurovision now -- or am I just an old fart.
The chorus of this song has been ingrained in my head since I saw the performance on Eurovision '77. I remember being a bit disappointed it didn't win.
This is probably my MOST fave Eurovision song song... I don't know what it's about but, like Kantri Helena I love these Finish songs... Monica Aspelund... I know it's 30-odd years ago, but I have to tell you.. you are one beautiful Eurovision Finish LADY... :-)
To begin with it’s a G not a C, and there are more singers who can do that and higher. But it’s still impressing, especially considering the fact Monica was sick with a fever during the finals
That's the good side of ESC: it's given us great songs like this one and the chance to listen to other languages than just English. Well, that was far away in the time, sure!
Completely agree with jackal gb - I have NEVER forgotten this song since 1977 - 35 years ago! Listening to it now it all seems a bit overblown ... and the high note / scream at the end is just scary ... but it deserved to be a top three or four song. Classic Eurovision - they don't make them like this any more
Mahtava...samat sanat kun iituiitu: en voi lopettaa tän kuuntelemista...(ihan kun noituis tästä...) Great, can´t stop listening to this...when I now have started to listening...
Such a great song - although she looks like my earlier dentist! ;-) This, Greece and of course France, are my Top 3 from 1977! Oh my god how she can scream - It makes so much fun to watch this!
This must be a very catchy song because this is the one I remember from the 70s when everyone was glued to the TV. I think the language might have something to do with it not winning - it is very incomprehensible - and I mean that in a polite way!
Yes, that's why we started sending entries in English (when we could)

Recordaba esta canción de aquél festival eurovisivo de 1977. Me ha hecho mucha ilusión volver a escucharlo. NiindelosTaivas gracias por compartirlo con nosotros. Un saludo desde España!!
Tämä Suomen kappale sijoittui itse asiassa kohtuullisen hyvin ja oli lopulta kymmenes. Irlantikin antoi täydet 12 pistettä. Monica on loistomimmi. Hartaana uskovaisena hän mieluummin nykyään laulaa tämän kappaleen vain englanniksi kun noissa suomenkielisissä sanoissa painottuu niin voimakkaasti tuo noituus. :D
lyrics Lapponia Manana... Mana nana mana na... Mana nana mana... Mananana nina nana... Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu Tuo neito noita on Hän luo voimalla kohtalon Hän vailla on seuraa ja lohduttamaton Ja siksi loihtii hän noituen Hän luo voimalla loitsujen Hän tavalla Seidan näin miehen kutsua saa Hei... manana...

(Mana nana manana...) (Mana nana ma...)
Cool song, I've never heard it before but its cool. To be honest that really high note was unespected lol, and another honesty, if you listen it was off pitch at a certain part, I laughed a little bit haha. BUT IT IS, a good song and I think I'll favorite it :)

She should have won...charming singer, good song and a lovely dress!
My mother (r.i.p.) thought that this was Finland's best Eurovision song ever, even better as Lord and I have to agreed.
This should have been Finland's first victory in ESC!! :)
Älskar den..fortfarande! Ge oss orkestern tillbaka! Heja Finland!
I'm spanish and still remember this song. I was 14 when this contest. Even today i hum It sometimes.
This song was too advanced for ESC, Monica completely slayed the mega high note! I can see why its still popular today, I hope to visit Lapland in the future. Finland rocks.
One of the best songs in my life
The best 🥰
I don't think she hit that high note
@@mollareno Please, laitatko vielä saameksi, ruotsiksi, venäjäksi ja viroksi?
Wonderfull!
Finnish is a terrific language.
So different and so many vowels. I love it!
Great song and absolutely amazing perfomance!
Laponia is the Latin name for Lapland, the northern part of Finland. Monica Aspelund wrote the lyrics herself, and I think they're awesome; so poetic.
This should have finished top 5. I'm proud to be from Ireland, who gave this masterpiece 12 points
Not true
I am Finn and lived in Dundalk, Ireland. I always thank you Ireland. The best country in the world - Markku
I lived in Dundalk. Finns love Irish. Hearts, kisses from Finland !
I am from Finland and I have some Irish friends. I agree: the Irish have good taste. Bless you all.
One of the best songs in the ESC.
How could this not be the winner???!!! this is an epic song (don't understand a word of it but I like it so much)
I didn’t know this song until someone sang it a couple of months ago at a Finnish Eurovision karaoke. And now I absolutely love this song!
It finished 10th but with a great 12 points from Ireland.
The only points that counted at that time.
This is an absolute beauty! Such a great song in a year of pure Eurovision classics! 1977 was a brilliant, underrated year! Go Monica!!!
Monica was performing in high fever and said in an interview a while ago that she can't actually remember much of the performance, than the hysteric fear she wouldn't make it to the high notes... LOL
The best🥰🥰🥰Song.
You can't really tell. She performs so stunningly.
Oh my God! She sung sooo wonderful that it's hard to me lleve she was in such condition
On one hand - 1977 was a bloody well stacked year, I don't think I dislike anything in that contest. Pure gem after pure gem
On the other hand - even in that field this song just wows me. At least top 3 for me.
Ihana Monica! She's so lovely! Kylmät väreet kertosäkeen kohdalla.
Juu🎉Tää laulu on mulle elämäni toiseksi tärkein ja olen tavannutkin Monican. Mahtava esitys🎉🎉🎉!
Great song, fantastic singing voice! I love listening to the way she sings in Finnish.
I think that the 1977 stage was the best ever. After 30 years it still looks fresh and modern.
So beautiful
This song stuck in my head and I still love it
My number 1 of 1977. This song was used as a commercial song in the Netherlands with other Dutch ( Nederlands) lyrics but BUT SUNG BY MONICA
Such a great song, it made a difference. That amazing high pitch is legendary! I remember watching Eurovision in 1977, I was 12 then, when it still was a wonderful show. Cheers from
Spain.
Helllou from finland i was 6 years then .I' m so emotional to listen this nowadays.I remember this.Alltime favourite to me♡.
"Lapponia" became one of Finland's most successful Eurovision entries. So sad it didn't get least a top 5 placing.
What a beautiful song from the time when music sounded so real and people looked natural... I am glad to say that I was born exactly a week before 1977 Eurovision. Respect to the charming Finnish singer and - especially - to memory of the gentleman at the piano, the author of the song, Mr Aarno Raninen who passed away recently... Regards from Poland!
+Marcin Grymuza R.I.P. Aarno Raninen. Sit sibi terra levis.
Marcin Grymuza wow that very cool
YES, and best song in my life after Katri Helena 1993 TULE LUO

This song was a big shock for me in this year and turned me into a euro fan during years.
2:11 Ladies and gentlemen: The singing kettle.
Love this..Sp glad we gave it 12..Kiitos Suomi!!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! i never get enough of it. Greetings from Israel
I wish I could speak Finnish to write in Finnish how much I do love this song after so many years and what an amazing singer Monica Aspelund is.

Tampponia! Tämä on Tampponia! Aivan upee esitys! ❤
Wow! I can understand how this song got one of Finland's few twelves in the contest. Amazing song from Finland! Bravo, first class!
This song is actually legendary in all the north scandinavia/sweden/norway/Finland lapland :-) great song :-)

Just great Monica is a great singer. I remember watching this years ago in the Eurovision and it has stayed in my mind, thanks great to hear it again.
Thank you ! 1977
Wonderful
This is probably my MOST fave Eurovision song song...
I don't know what it's about but, like Kantri Helena I love these Finish songs...
Monica Aspelund... I know it's 30-odd years ago, but I have to tell you.. you are one beautiful Eurovision Finish LADY... :-)
Laulettiin tätä Imatran musiikkiluokkalaisten joulukonsertissa ja lauloin ton ylä-äänen😂❤️
Fantastisk låt! Finland är alltid bland dom som utmärker sej mest, då som nu :)
Just brilliant!
I think that has to be the longest and loudest shriek in eurovision history!
At 2:10 she nails the High C note perfectly, it is the highest note that a human can produce!
It is extremely high, especially very impressive in 1977, but its not the highest note human can produce, i think the current record is around G10.
To begin with it’s a G not a C, and there are more singers who can do that and higher. But it’s still impressing, especially considering the fact Monica was sick with a fever during the finals
i love lapponia
BTW, her sister Ami Aspelund represented Finland in 1983.
Love this song 🙂
Love the hand movements! :D ....
Jonathan Clements' Short History of Finland brought me here🙂
That's the good side of ESC: it's given us great songs like this one and the chance to listen to other languages than just English. Well, that was far away in the time, sure!
i think it's better than the winner!
It was better than the winner.. by miles!!
It is not a matter of opinion.
Love it!
Mahtavaa!
Completely agree with jackal gb - I have NEVER forgotten this song since 1977 - 35 years ago! Listening to it now it all seems a bit overblown ... and the high note / scream at the end is just scary ... but it deserved to be a top three or four song. Classic Eurovision - they don't make them like this any more
Mahtava...samat sanat kun iituiitu: en voi lopettaa tän kuuntelemista...(ihan kun noituis tästä...) Great, can´t stop listening to this...when I now have started to listening...
2:10 that scream is the best thing that happened in esc 1977 for sure
1 off the best eurovision entries ever!
I did not understand why this only came 10th. That place are same as nothing in my opinion. 12 points from Iceland
Should have won. And I'm not saying this only as a Finn, but even more as a music lover.
Моника Аспелунд замечательная певица. 🙂👍
Such a great song - although she looks like my earlier dentist! ;-)
This, Greece and of course France, are my Top 3 from 1977!
Oh my god how she can scream - It makes so much fun to watch this!
RIP Arska Raninen
Karsee kuolema...
I'm addicted to this song..
I remember this song... and I was only 11 years in 1977
This must be a very catchy song because this is the one I remember from the 70s when everyone was glued to the TV.
I think the language might have something to do with it not winning - it is very incomprehensible - and I mean that in a polite way!
Yes, that's why we started sending entries in English (when we could)

2:11 G6 is shook.
It seems to me that the lyrics are echoing parts of "The Kalevala" the national epic poem from Finland.
I'm so proud of Monica !!!!!
I have only heard this song sung by Northern Kings, so it was nice to hear this original one too.
Great song, just found out about it today, I love the fact that she's clapping
Bra låt, kiitos Monica
Thanks for your help, Soraani :-)))
I think she inspired Kaliopi, Croatia 1996 and some more XD
lyrics
Lapponia
Manana...
Mana nana mana na...
Mana nana mana...
Mananana nina nana...
Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia
Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu
Tuo neito noita on
Hän luo voimalla kohtalon
Hän vailla on seuraa ja lohduttamaton
Ja siksi loihtii hän noituen
Hän luo voimalla loitsujen
Hän tavalla Seidan näin miehen kutsua saa
Hei... manana...
Mana nana mana na...
Mana nana mana...
Mananana nina nana...
Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia
Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu
Mies lähti Pohjolaan
Tie käy kuunnellen vaistoaan
Mies rakastuu noitaan
Hän on ihminen maan
Ja siksi on neidon mentävä
Hän on noidista lentävä
Käy tulella taivaan ja loitsut kaikuen soi
Hei... manana...
Mana nana mana na...
Mana nana mana...
Mananana nina nana...
Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia
Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu
Noin noidan joiku kutsuen soi:
Mananana...
Ma... (Ma nanana nana nanana...)
(Ma nananana nana nanana...)
Ooh... (Ma nanana nana nanana...)
(Ma nananana nana nanana...)
(Lapponia, Lapponia, Lapponia, Lapponia)
(Manana...)
(Mana nana manana...)
(Mana nana mana...)
(Ma nana nanana...)
Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia
Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu
Lapponia, tämä on Lapponia
Josta Pohjan kauniin neitosen kutsu kaikuu
(Manana...)
(Mana nana manana...)
(Mana nana ma...)
LOVE IT!~
Thanks. :)
Hampaastani taisi lähteä paikka :(
Молодец Моника, браво!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sheer madness
Kauniit vaatteet. Nice dress.
She's an angel in white.
"cushions from Ikea" LOL! :-D
Anyway, I agree with you - one of Finland's best and most original entries ever.
Wikipedia are wrong on the part with the shriek... She actually sings the same top note in the live and the studio, but the middel note are "wrong"
Sing it, Monica!
Is this beautiful song still popular in Finland ?
Yes!
Kylmät väreet menee läpi, kun kuuntelee!
Hieno kappale ja esitys. Tyylikäs asu. Ja Raninen on niin (ab)originaali!
Cool song, I've never heard it before but its cool. To be honest that really high note was unespected lol, and another honesty, if you listen it was off pitch at a certain part, I laughed a little bit haha. BUT IT IS, a good song and I think I'll favorite it :)
@dodgydeco the man on the piano is Aarno Raninen, the original apeman from finland.
Siis Ami
Genius
2:11 me when i step on a lego
Interesting song! Supriced it came so low... Poor old Finland hehehe
Quizá con un toque frikki la melodía después de todo no es desagradable.
