"Old Man Fiddle" (original Finnish title: "Viulu-ukko") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, performed in English by Pihasoittajat.
The song was performed fifteenth on the night (following Monaco's Sophie with "Une chanson c'est une lettre" and preceding Portugal's Duarte Mendes with "Madrugada"). At the close of voting, it had received 74 points, placing 7th in a field of 19.
The country and western inspired song describes an old man who comes in out of the rain to play a series of tunes on a fiddle, with the duo singing that everyone listening to them should dance away their troubles to this music.
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1976 Contest by Fredi & Ystävät with "Pump-Pump".
