Ievan Polkka



Ievan Polkka is a song originally sung by Finnish band Loituma which gained popularity as a Vocaloid cover song among vocaloid fans. The song shot to fame due to the popular internet meme (called Leekspin) of Orihime Inoue from the Japanese manga Bleach twirling a negi to an infinite loop of the 5th stanza of Ievan Polkka.

Popularity in Vocaloid
The first Vocaloid to cover the song was by Miku Hatsune under the alias of Miku Hachune of which this song was her first appearence. Since then there have been countless other covers by the other vocaloids including solos, duets and even a quartet mimicking the original.

The Cover and video was made by Otomania and It was Illustrated by Tamago. It is Arguably Miku's one of the most famous cover song, Miku's version stars Miku Hachune (はちゅねミク), who is a blank-eyed doll-like chibi version of Miku with a gaping mouth that waves a negi in time to the music. It is this video which solidified Miku's food item as a negi.
