Loituma Girl

[3] Band member Timo Väänänen describes his initial reaction to the video:[2] I first found out there was something going on when I looked at the statistics of my own web page and then I realized that something weird is happening because there is such a huge traffic there.

[6] [better source needed] PRI's The World radio program covered the animation in a segment, in which they noted the clip's trance-inducing qualities.

It's possible to read deeper meanings into it, but it sort of defeats the purpose because in the end it's just this hypnotic clip of animation.As with most Internet memes, numerous videos, remixes, and parodies have been inspired by the Flash animation.

During the segment of the special where the cast visits Tokyo, Phineas and Ferb convince Stacy to participate in a dance and tune with them similar to "Caramelldansen".

In December 2010, Operation Leakspin played off the "Leekspin" meme during efforts to raise awareness of potentially important documents leaked by WikiLeaks.

[9] In April 2007, a Dutch power company (Eneco) used the melody of Loituma's Ievan Polkka in its TV commercial for "ecostroom" (green energy).

[10] The Dutch company Artiq Mobile launched a website where people can upload homemade Loituma Girl spoof videos.

[14][15] The popularity of the Vocaloid version of "Ievan polkka" has led to the chibi-Miku featured in the video being treated as a separate character known as Hachune Miku.
