Lyrics

Crawling
Over your window you think I'm confused
I'm waiting for the divergent wasp
To complete my current ruse.

You use a plate-glass screen
To protect my chosen target
But there's an air-pellet hole
I can crawl through to you.

I am the fly in the ointment
I can spread more disease than the fleas
Which nibble away at your window display.

Yes I am the fly in the ointment
I shake you down to say please as you
Accept the next dose of disease.

I am the fly, I am the fly, I am the fly, I am the fly, fly in the, fly in the ointment
I am the fly, I am the fly, I am the fly, I am the fly, fly in the, fly in the ointment.

The Valkyrians is a Finnish rocksteady and ska band.

In 2006 they released their debut album High And Mighty, which was popular on the radio and charted at #24 on the national Finnish album chart.
One of the album's singles, "Rankin Fullstop", peaked at #6 on the singles chart.

The Valkyrians released a second album, The Beat Of Our Street, in 2009.
It reached #28 on the album chart.

Their third album Punkrocksteady was released 10.8.2011.
The album´s songs are cover versions of the 70´s and 80´s punk and new wave bands and a tribute to the early influencers (outside of ska, and reggae).

History

Back in 2002, Angster, Moonhead, Big Deal, Letku Leroy and Gladiator met at a familiar watering hole in Helsinki, Finland.
These musicians had known each other for years and on this night they decided to make a shared dream a reality.
They were going to start a band that played the sweet, smoky rhythms that had for decades emanated from the island of Jamaica.
The first gig was set up for Big Deal's and Leroy's birthday party.
Ska, rocksteady and reggae, as well as 2Tone and punk classics had the crowd dancing like crazy.
The gig was a success and the party exceeded all expectations.
The Valkyrians were born.

Their first release, an EP called Miracle by Semi Sounds/Fat Belt Records, came out in 2004.
It featured I Don't Wanna Go Home, a real dance floor burner loved by audiences everywhere.
The band started to seriously consider making an album. High and Mighty was released in 2006 (BALE/Fat Belt).
With the crowd, as well as critics, going wild for the Jamaican sound, the band decided it was time to take the show on the road.
They toured all around Finland and Scandinavia.
They toured in central Europe.
The album rose up to number 24 in the Finnish charts.
The band won a slew of awards that year: a Femma (which is a kind of alternative to the Finnish Grammy Emma) for most danceable act of 2006.
Finland's premier alternative rock paper Rumba agreed and gave them an award for setting the floor on fire, too.
Do You Really Wanna Know was named song of the year by Funky Elephant, an association of Finnish lovers of the almighty groove.

Stupido Records and Pork Pie Records released the band's second album, The Beat of Our Street, in 2009.
It climbed up to number 29 in the charts.
The band went on a tour that lasted the best part of a year: Finland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Holland, Belgium, and Sweden all received the gospel of skanking to the beat.

Come late 2010 and the band started thinking about album number three. They wanted to try something different and decided to approach the songs they'd loved in their youth from a different perspective. A Valkyrian perspective. Eventually it boiled down to covering punk and new wave classics from the late-70s and the early-80s and infusing them with some rhythmic Caribbean magic.
