Especially those who lived their childhood in the 1980s remember the song From a shoe rack.
The song is about a nasty little witch who drives children crazy to tantrums and teasing. It amuses itself by eating raisins and hitting with its stick. The shoe rack is so small that adults can’t see it.
For many children of the 1970s and 80s, Mikko Alatalo first brings to mind the song Känkkäränkä. Jenni Gästgivar
Children’s song is Mikko Alatalo and Harri Rinne composed and lyrics. Alatalo recorded it for the first time in 1981 on their album Animals in Finnish forests.
However, the hero of the song, little ones, was not invented by Alatalo, but a speech therapist and children’s author Annami Poivaara wrote Känkkäränkä fairy tales already in the 70s.
On Friday, the special episode “Save the Children” was seen in the “Life only” program. It featured Alatalo’s new version of the all-time children’s song classic.
– I started making children’s songs with Harri Rinnee in the 80s. Juice joked to me that now you, Mikko, have finally softened. Not many years passed, and Juice also wrote songs for children, Alatalo says in the press release.
– Many of the younger generation don’t even know that Alataloa existed before Känkkäränkka and they don’t know about my rock years either. On the other hand, mothers know Känkkis better than children – the reason is that the radios hardly play children’s music anymore, Alatalo continues.
Responsible for the production of the new Känkkäränkä version Olli Äkräs.
