Bokkie B. Goode What's not to love about Jenbom?!

jaerik KPW has a wicked funny sense of humor and a giant heart. I love her music, but more than that I love that she goes above and beyond for Extra Life.

---------------------------
In May of 2023, I was completely burned out. Then I watched Eurovision and this dude with a bowl cut and lime green bolero from Finland reminded me why I love performing and gave me some much needed inspiration.

If by some small chance, Käärijä himself hears this/sees the lyrics, I hope that he laughs and enjoys what we managed to accomplish. Despite how nerdy the language is that I'm singing in, we always push for good musical arrangements. We had a fun day in the recording studio and I hope that fans of Käärijä, of which I am one, will catch the small details musically, in the translation effort, and in the accompanying lyric video.

It's my sincere hope that Käärijä fans who know nothing about Star Trek or Klingon enjoy this as much as my nerdy Trekkie fans.
