To the tune of "Captain Albert Alexander"
by Steam Powered Giraffe.

When she was a girl
she wanted to play
in silent lands
At age thirteen
everyday after school
she would always gaze at the lake
All the people would stand and stare
as she yearned out loud for be quit of there
With her wistful gaze and her pan with the hole
she looked just like a hero of old
All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away
"Brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
She'll be a brave adventurer one day
But that brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
She'll perish some way"
By age twenty one
She had left the shore
And was skald on a crew
The crew held tight with alarm and prayer
as she drove around with precision and care (klunk!)
As they crossed the bridge and it started to fall
She pushed the pedal to the floor
The base crew sang
"Brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
Saved her crew from Øresund water
But that brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
Is a fated Hotakainen daughter"
Four weeks later the tank caught fire
To save it exploding Tuuri drove in the sea
On rafts across the ocean blue
The crew for their lives did flee
Tuuri stood at the stern of the wreck
The crew now saw the Rash on her neck
A vortex of tortured souls below ripped
And giant sea-beasts all made the trip
to see Tuuri
sink to the bottom of the sea
Just before she went down
she called out to her crew
"It's obvious that my time has come
I'll let this ending ensue"
I've led an exciting life it would seem
and there's no better death than by living your dream
Her crew sang
"Brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
She went down in the sea
But that brave skald Tuuri Hotakainen
She'll go down in history"
