"Tahdon sulle olla hyvin hellä" / "I Wanna Love You Tender"

I've known about the cheesy music video for the song "I Wanna Love You Tender" for years, but found out tonight that it was actually recorded in Finnish as well as English. Does anyone have writing credits for the Finnish version?

According to the Finnish Wikipedia, the lyricist is Juha "Watt" Vainio.

The Finnish release at Discogs states the same.

The Finnish abbreviation "San." indicates the lyricist.

The wiki also states there are a number of parody versions. And "The music video from the English song has been considered poor.".

Thanks for the info and links. I looked for the Finnish version on Discogs but RYM was the only place I could find it.

All that effort and it turns out the original Finnish version is already on SHS: Tahdon olla sulle hellä

The English version isn't though

Doh!

It's strange that Thom found it at Suomen äänitearkisto, but I couldn't.
