A traditional Finnish Folk song "Ievan Polkka" as Techno version,
but performed as originally by Loituma
The song became globally popular (or at least in Japan) through Japan animation...

Versión folclórica by Liljan Loisto. 
Versión punk by "Problems".

Translation into the English: You wake up in the morning and all the music has disappeared. How would it be? Öö...
