Tipi-Tii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tipi-Tii (English translation: "Chirpy-Chirp") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1962, performed in Finnish by Marion Rung, composed by Kari Tuomisaari, who also wrote the lyrics. The song is the very first hit in Marion Rung's long career.

The song was performed first on the night (preceding Belgium's Fud Leclerc with Ton Nom). At the close of voting, it had received 4 points, placing 7th in a field of 16.

The song is a plea for all listeners to join in "the call of love", with Rung likening everyone to a group of birds singing their song together.

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1963 Contest by Laila Halme with Muistojeni Laulu.
