Känkkäränkkä is a Finnish children's song by Mikko Alatalo and Harri Rinne.
[1] The song is about a mischievous little witch, who entices children to become angry and harass others.
Jope Ruonansuu has made a parody of the song called Menkkaränkkä, which was published on his album Lomakiertue.
The heroine of the song, the small witch Känkkäränkkä, was not invented by Alatalo and Rinne, but was invented in the 1970s by speech therapeutist and children's book author Annami Poivaara.
Poivaara recollects: "I wrote three books about a small witch, that Mikko Alatalo read to his children and the character started to develop in his mind.
