2015: "Aina mun pitää" — Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät
The Finnish punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät competed at the ESC in Vienna. The 2012 prize-winning documentary “The Punk Syndrome” told the story of the band and its members. The title appropriates the term “Down Syndrome”. The film shows how musicians create art with disabilities. The band’s entry did not qualify for the grand final but broke the record for the shortest song in the history of the contest: punk music makes its point faster. The song lasted just 1 minute and 27 seconds.
