This Klamydia entry in Discogs doesn't help much either:
https://www.discogs.com/Klamydia-Aikuisilta-Kielletty/release/12604023
Fono.fi credits the Klamydia lyrics to Vesa Jokinen, the vocalist of Klamydia:
http://www.fono.fi/KappaleenTiedot.aspx?kappale=vie+du+bon+cote+la&culture=fi&ID…
This suggests this version has different lyrics than the Gregorius take? Do you confirm?
The Fono.fi has a mistake there. The lyrics in the Klamydia version are identical to the Gregorius version.
As much as you can understand them It seems to be a parody cover of the internet meme of the original.
"The translation is credited to A. Remeli"
Actually, where did you fid this?
Only place I found it was in the video itself, at 0:24.
Maybe we should ask Espo Nick. Apparently he now works as a librarian in Espoo
Any idea on how to contact him?
I found his e-mail on Google: esko.nick@espoo.fi. If he still works for the city of Espoo, that would be the way to contact him.
I tried contacting that e-mail, but couldn't reach him. He might not be working in the same workplace any more.
It could be an idea to contact https://www.espoo.fi/kirjasto and ask if they have a way to contact Esko Nick ?
I tried contacting that e-mail, but couldn't reach him.
Did the email address bounce? Or did you simply get no reply?
We can also ask Heikki Laurila, Olli Ahvenlahti, Pekka Pohjola, and Nappi Ikonen if they know who "A Remeli" is.
The e-mail address bounced, so he might not work for them any more. But I will contact the library and ask them.
I was also thinking to contact YLE, the broadcaster who made that show. They might have some information in their archives.
