   • 1963, Reino Helismaa (lyrics and music), “Ajankohtaista loiskiehuntaa”:

     Kansa maksaa jalopuut ja infrapunalamput,
     Joitten lämpöön silloin tällöin saapuu suuret pamput
     Mutta siitähän laulaa ei saa,
     Sehän oisi taas loiskiehuntaa

     The people pay for the hardwood and the infrared lights
     that the big wigs every so often bathe under
     But you can't sing about that now can you,
     that'd be getting too political
