"Yamma, yamma" was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Finnish by Pave Maijanen.
The song was performed twelfth on the night, following Iceland's Heart 2 Heart with "Nei eða já" and preceding Switzerland's Daisy Auvray with "Mister Music Man". At the close of voting, it had received 4 points, placing 23rd (last) in a field of 23.
The song is in praise of listening to "valve radio", with Maijanen likening it to a stadium with "a hundred musicians inside it". The unusual subject matter and title have contributed to the song becoming something of a favourite among Contest fans. Maijanen also recorded the song in English under the same title; "Yamma-yamma".
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1993 Contest by Katri Helena with "Tule luo".
During the ESC 2010 semi-final voting session "Yamma Yamma" was included in a medley presenting some "funniest bottoms".
