"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 ".
