Comment|This time, UMK’s heavy rock performance is underlined funny metalcore and eurodance.
The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
One Morning Left’s song Puppy is a humorous combination of metalcore and eurodance, writes journalist Ilkka Mattila.
The band is known for humorous elements in their music and visual appearance.
Puppy’s chorus is like a children’s song and the video contains dog-themed elements.
According to Mattila, the song is one of those Eurovision songs where the humor quickly loses its edge.
No come UMK without a metal band. This year, the place will be filled by the five-man One Morning Left, which has been active for a long time and has also toured abroad.
One Morning Left has profiled itself as an openly humorous metal band, which you can already see from the album covers, where instead of the usual doomsday landscapes, there have been cartoon-style animal figures.
The band’s recorded production also has songs named after them Excuse Me, How Can I Get to the Scene from Here? and This Song Has a Massive Autotune Chorus.
It is therefore consistent that One Morning Left participates in UMK with a song entitled Puppywhich tells about a puppy in simple English sentences.
Humor metal is a difficult genre. Although not all metal musicians are humorless, metal music itself has a strong tradition of seriousness. Even if the content of the song is ironic or even a parody, it is presented as truthfully as possible.
One Morning Left’s music has also had ferocity as a contrast to humor, but In Puppy it balances threateningly on the border, on the other side of which gapes the abyss of stupidity.
Simply combining metalcore and eurodance rapping can be interpreted as musical humor, and it has gone a long way before. It is impossible to believe that Puppya while doing it, not a word would have been uttered Wrapperespecially when the author group has Cha Cha Chan worked as a producer and songwriter Johannes “Kiro” Naukkarinen.
Secondly Puppies are an addictive subject, like Ylen Pentulive– broadcasts have proven. Puppy sounds like a song aimed at families with children and dogs. The chorus is like a children’s song, and in the video the band hangs out inside a dog kennel with a huge stuffed dog.
Naivety is not always a problem in the Eurovision world. Last year Windows95man mixed pompous mysticism with naivety, which Puri UMK voters. The Eurovision finals have also often seen songs with a show spirit, where the humor is flat and quickly loses its edge.
One Morning Leftin Puppy falls as an extension of the last-mentioned group.
