The Punk Syndrome
Everyone WQHTS US...
both in Finland and Europe.
If you're in the neighborhood,
come and see us play.
You won't be disappointed. Ever.
We'll always be
one of the best in Finland.
At least we think so. Flight, guys?
- That's right.
We're number one.
Let's hope
we stay at the top of the charts.
Pertti, we havent even
recorded anything yet!
Toni, time to go onstage.
Flush the toilet
and wash your hands.
I've been to the toilet and...
- Without washing hands.
Now Pertti Kurikka's Name Day
will play!
Alright. Let's go.
My shirt says "God dammit!"
You don't listen to me.
You don't understand me.
That's where my competition starts.
Some pretty kick-ass bands
will play here tonight, such as...
Pertti Kurikka's Name Day!
Give it up for
Pertti Kurikka's Name Day!
This is great!
I need a little respect
and equality in my life
I need a little respect
and dignity in my life
Goddammit!
Pertti, just one chorus.
- I'm trying my best.
I'll shout "intro" after the chorus,
so you'll know.
Let's just move on.
I need a little respect
and equality in my life
I need a little respect
and dignity in my life
No. Too late.
- Look at my fingers.
You see one or five?
There's just one chorus. One!
Not five.
- I'm sorry
I think I've had enough.
That's enough.
- A break.
Why can't I get it?
Pertti, you'll get it.
I'll count to four.
You'll get the hang of it.
- I get it.
Don't cry, big boy.
- I'm not crying.
This isn't about crying.
This is about punk.
This is about honor
and rock 'n' roll.
I didn't cry
Pertti,
when you write riffs for songs,...
don't write such difficult ones.
Don't write such difficult ones.
Write easy ones.
- I try my best.
It's Friday March 11th.
Writing a diary
is very important to me because...
I can release my a-a-anger...
into my diary.
It helps me if I have...
a b-b-b-bad day
I'll write in my diary
that Pertti is a shithead...
and that Pertti is an a**hole...
and that Pertti is a f*ggot
and a sh*t goddamn a**hole.
Pertti will be stabbed.
Pertti will be punched in the face.
Pertti Will be...
strangled to d-d-d-death.
That's why I write these things.
Hi! How's it going?
Have a friggin' good time!
Wave your hands in the air
like you don't give a f***!
Now we'll kick some ass!
One, two, one, two, three, four.
Sorry, sorry...
Sorry for this little...
Let's give it another try.
- It's okay
It was a Sunday
I went to church
I had coffee I took a dump
It was a Sunday
I went to church
I had coffee I took a dump
Thank you.
Sorry I made a little blunder
in the beginning.
Don't worry
These things can happen to anyone.
Will you help us carry the stuff?
- No, I don't think so.
I can't carry anything now
I've been so stressed out
the whole week.
I'm still a bit stressed.
- Now you can do whatever you like.
What's the name of this song?
"Six Cups of Coffee."
- Flight. "Six..."
Six. Six.
Okay start dictating.
Okay.
- "Coffee" What then?
Let's see.
It has to be honest.
Sure. "Coffee is good."
Let's write "Coffee..."
You mean that coffee..
- ...Is good...
"Coffee is good." Right.
- ...when you drink it.
"...When..."
If a human being
doesn't get coffee...
I-low do you spell "human being"?
What comes after H?
- U, M, A, N, B, I, N.
Human being.
Did I spell it right?
Spell it out.
What comes after M?
- A, N, B, I, N.
"Human... being."
"Human being."
"Human being."
Yay
What does it say so far, Pertti?
Are you up there?
- Yes.
Okay I'll call home and tell them...
that I'm coming to your place today.
Okay.
- Ag reed.
Yay yay yay Flock, rock, rock.
Now I'll have a smoke
and then I'll have a woman.
Here's a lovely little gift for you.
- Oh, thank you.
You want to go upstairs?
- Yeah.
I've missed you a lot.
I believe you.
Our date on Thursday was so quick.
- That's right.
Darling, you'll get some
when they leave.
Darling, you'll get some
when they leave.
Love is, in a nutshell,...
cool, awesome,...
fantastic and incredible.
Women are lovely
stunning and wonderful...
when they're in a good mood.
When they're in a bad mood,...
you can't talk to them
or do anything with them.
That's what I've learned
over the years...
in the brief relationships...
I've had with women in my life.
I lived... lived in
the Riihenkulma Orphanage.
As a child, I examined...
the seams of the staff's...
staff's clothing.
That's how.. that's how
this seam thing started.
That's how.. That's how it started.
Pertti,
please read the lyrics for us.
They're Kari's lyrics.
- No, they're from your diary
Right.
They give me pig food
in the nuthouse
I keep my mouth shut;
Otherwise I'll be stabbed
Speech defect!
Speech defect!
They give me pig food
in the nuthouse
I keep my mouth shut;
Otherwise I'll be stabbed
I don't want a summer vacation
I can't visit anyone
because I make too much noise
and I'd have to turn down
the stereos

We got everything. Alright.
Oh, sorry
- No problem.
I just want to make sure

So we don't have to come back.
Did you take a shower today,
Pertti? I smell sh*t.
It's not me.
- But I can smell it.
You're wearing clean underwear?
- I haven't sh*t myself.
Kalle, c'mon.
You can't go onstage with sh*t
in your pants. - I'll shower later.
That'll be too late.
- I'll take a shower tonight.
Can you take a shower now?
- Not now.
You still have time.
- I won't do it now
Yes, you will.
- The hell with you.
Dammit!
The man stinks!
Where are we going
to find you underpants?
I'll get you a bag
for the dirty ones.
Promise me you'll change
your underpants every day.
I promise. - I don't want to keep
saying the same thing over again.
Are you angry with me?
- No.
You can't be angry with me.
Go like that. Throw a leather
jacket on and get onstage.

Decision-makers lock people up
in closed rooms
But we don't wanna be in those rooms
