Hei kaikki!

Ebbie, the Finnish folk music does not differ that much from the rest of the European fm if topics of the lyrics are concerned, perhaps it is not as patriotic and warlike as some are.

Jets, you're both right and wrong; one t but, instead of c (which is used in loan words only), two k's: Raatikkoon, meaning literally 'into Raatikko' that -except being a name of a set dance- is a special place where the old maids were supposed to be taken. Whether that place exists somewhere else than in the song "Raatikkoon, raatikkoon vanhat piiat joutaa" (sorry that's all I remember of it right now), I don't know:).
