Luulosairas

Wigwam's 1969 single, written by the teenage organist Jukka Gustavson and covered by Finnish punk and rock bands for forty years.
Wigwam, from Luulosairas / Highway Code (1969)

"Luulosairas" was the A-side of Wigwam's second single, Love Records LRS 1028, released in December 1969. Finnish Wikipedia credits Gustavson as the writer and calls it Love's first chart hit and a Finnish rock classic. The studio version runs about 4:07 to 4:10 per MusicBrainz, and it appears on the compilations Fresh Garbage (2000) and Parhaat (2009), among others. Which version our upload is was not established.

MusicBrainz lists covers by Yari (1991), Kari Peitsamon Skootteri on the tribute Plays Wigwam (1991), Absoluuttinen Nollapiste (recorded in 1993, released in 2005), Ahkerat Simpanssit (2003), Iku (2008) and Klamydia (2009). Setlist.fm's statistics page does not list it among Wigwam's most played songs. No statement about the song's meaning was found, so none is given.
