This is really just a bit of fun, it seems the 'Misheard Lyrics' video is a staple upload of any youtube view whore but I wanted to try my hand at one just for the lulz. I started it ages ago and just now thought of throwing it up here for you all. Lordi are an absolutely rocking band so this isn't meant as hate towards them in any way, and don't worry, I'll be doing some REAL animation soon...

Lordi made history in 2006 by winning the Eurovision Song Contest with a record 292 points, becoming the first Finnish performer to win the contest. Lordi was featured on the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen when the band's frontman, Mr. Lordi, presented the award for rock. They were also the closing act, playing their single "Hard Rock Hallelujah". They also performed on Britain's Making Your Mind Up for the Eurovision Song Contest. Lordi performed on the main stage at Ozzfest 2007 and later that year toured with Type O Negative and Twin Method until Halloween night.
History
Formation (1996–2002)
Lordi was formed in 1996 after Tomi Putaansuu (Mr. Lordi), Jussi Sydänmaa (Amen) and Sami Keinänen (G-stealer) met in Stockholm, where they had gone to see Kiss perform. Though Mr. Lordi already had the idea in 1992. Inspired by Kiss, their vision was to perform with spectacular pyrotechnics and monster masks. In 1997 Erna Siikavirta (Enary) joined the band on keyboard.In 1999, the group recorded their first album, Bend Over And Pray The Lord. Tiainen, the owner of their record company, had originally planned to publish the album; however, the company did not have sufficient resources to market it. Tiainen recommended Lordi to the record label Kimmo Hirvonen's Records, owned by Anaconda. The album was never released because Anaconda Records went bankrupt shortly before the planned release date. The band never performed with the original line-up, though they had been promised a record release gig in 1999. During the same year G-Stealer left the band because of work commitments and was replaced by Sami Wolking (Magnum), whom Mr. Lordi had met via Kiss Army Finland. In 2000, drummer Sampsa Astala (Kita) joined Lordi—the band had originally planned to use MIDI drum tracks in place of a real drummer. The band members do each others' makeup.
The monster costumes are such an integral part of Lordi's publicity image that they refuse to be photographed or even interviewed without them, even if in some cases it leads to their own discomfort. Lordi has done interviews without their masks but the interviews are always filmed from the back so that their faces are not visible. During interviews, Lordi members speak English to the cameras, not their native Finnish. In a brief segment on the BBC reporting about the band attending the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, they were shown lounging beside a pool in full sunlight, while wearing their costumes. During the segment, Lordi remarked that the costumes and the heat did not mix.
Lordi members have stated that their costumes were inspired by Kiss and the horror genre. Mr. Lordi himself has said that without Kiss, Lordi probably wouldn't exist. The costumes have also drawn comparisons to the thrash metal group GWAR, who wear similar foam latex monster outfits, though their musical styles are quite different. Mr. Lordi has claimed in interviews that he had never heard of GWAR when he formed Lordi. In a recent interview Oderus Urungus of GWAR called Lordi "a kiddie version of GWAR" but felt that Lordi didn't rip off GWAR, as both bands owed their image to earlier musicians like Kiss. He seems to have a tongue-in-cheek rivalry with Mr. Lordi, as he has stated his desire to "remove Mr. Lordi's mask and expose him as a silly human".
Mr. Lordi's mask was auctioned for more than 6000 euros. It was bought by a Finnish businessman, Vesa Keskinen, in an auction organised by YLE. Lordi's costume is currently in the historical costumes section in Turku Castle.
Unmasked by the media
Despite the band's strict approach in relation to their costumes, multiple newspapers have published photos of the band members without makeup. On 15 March 2006, the Finnish tabloid Ilta-Sanomat published a photograph of Putaansuu (Mr. Lordi) in civilian clothing, with his face partially showing. Lordi has called this an insult toward them, and an attempt to destroy the "monster image" they have worked for ten years to create. On 22 May 2006, the Daily Mail published what was believed to be an old picture of the band without their makeup or masks. It was later revealed that the band in the photo was actually Children of Bodom, a different band altogether. This was acknowledged on Children of Bodom's official website. The photograph did feature Erna Siikavirta, who went on to join Lordi as Enary, the band's keyboard player. However, Enary left Lordi in 2005, well before their victory at Eurovision, replaced by Awa. On the same day, Bild-Zeitung, a German tabloid, published what they claimed was a photograph of Putaansuu without his mask in its section "Bild Uncovered" with the headline "He is the Grand Prix Monster: All of Germany discusses the Ugliest Winners of all Time". Many other European tabloids and newspapers have published the same or similar photographs.On 24 May 2006, the Finnish tabloid magazine (Seven Days) published an old picture of Lordi's face on the front page, and two days later another tabloid, Katso! ("Look!"), published unmasked pictures of the other four band members. Both magazines were heavily criticised by their readers for publishing these pictures, which led to swift apologies from both magazines and promises not to publish unmasked pictures of Lordi anymore. On 26 May 2006, video footage was shown on television in Lithuania. It featured four men dressed in black, sitting by the table at the airport in Athens. After a few seconds, Heikki Paasonen (the Eurovision Finnish commentator) in a black Lordi shirt came and stood in front of the camera, covering the view.
Show
Monster suits, pyrotechnics, and horror elements are important parts of Lordi's show. Lordi's pyrotechnics are inspired by Kiss, while the horror elements are largely derived from horror movies with some influence from Alice Cooper. Sometimes, Lordi's concerts use special props, such as Leatherface and Biomechanic Man masks. Their stage platform is also equipped with a zombie, dolls, and sometimes stage dancers. Mr. Lordi is also known to use a two-headed axe.Some of Lordi's scenery is designed by Weta Workshop of New Zealand. The workshop has also designed scenery for movies such as The Lord of the Rings, King Kong and 30 Days of Night.
Eurovision Song Contest 2006
Lordi represented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 finals in Athens with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". The band won by a significant margin, scoring 292 points, 44 points over second place Dima Bilan (who later won in 2008), representing Russia with the song "Never Let You Go".Lordi was voted for by every participating country except Albania, Armenia and Monaco, and scored the highest number of points for any entry in any Eurovision Song Contest until the 2009 contest. They received 12 points from eight countries: Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the UK. Lordi also scored 292 points in the semi-final held two days earlier. They were also the first Eurovision entrant to win in both the semi-final and final stages. Lordi were congratulated on their victory by both Finnish President Tarja Halonen and Prime Minister of Finland Matti Vanhanen. In Greece, a number of organizations were trying to stop Lordi from competing. The Greek restaurant and bar owners' union president, Niki Constantinou, made a public plea, directed at the people of Finland and Greece, not to allow Lordi to perform in the contest, claiming the group was Satanic. Three other organizations in Greece initiated legal action against Lordi.
Mr. Lordi himself responded to the accusations and strictly denied Satanism. He said a Satanist group would not write songs such as "Hard Rock Hallelujah" or "Devil Is A Loser".
Despite, or maybe because of, the controversy, Greece ultimately awarded Lordi 12 points, the highest possible, in the contest final.
Concert in Helsinki
To celebrate their victory in the Eurovision Song Contest, Lordi held a free concert in the open-air Market Square in Helsinki, on 26 May 2006. At the concert, President of Finland Tarja Halonen made an official appearance to give Lordi a bronze key flag award for exemplary work. The concert was reportedly attended by over 90,000 people from all over Finland and even other countries. The concert was the biggest public event to that day in Helsinki. On this occasion, the world record for most people ever to sing karaoke was successfully attempted by approximately 80,000 people, singing "Hard Rock Hallelujah." The previous record was held by 50,000 Irish rugby fans.
New record label
On 16 December 2006, it was announced on The End Records website that Lordi had signed on to the label and would be releasing their third full-length album, The Arockalypse on 20 March 2007, with three bonus tracks and a DVD release. The album was released in Finland as The Arockalypse Special Edition.
Tributes
Lordi Square, in the centre of Rovaniemi, Finland, the home town of the lead singer Mr. Lordi, was renamed shortly after the band's victory at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was part of a redevelopment of Rovaniemi city centre.Itella, the Finnish postal service, issued a Lordi postage stamp in May 2007 in recognition of their Eurovision win. Posti had already released Lordi's Christmas single, "It Snows in Hell" in a special Christmas card edition.
A brand of soda, "Lordi Cola", was named after them and was launched in September 2006, featuring labels designed by Mr Lordi, several depicting individual members and one featuring the whole band.
2011 parliamentary election controversy
In March 2011, Jarmo Juntunen, a candidate in the 2011 Finnish parliamentary election, from the True Finns party, started using a photograph taken of him and Mr. Lordi together as his official campaign poster image. Juntunen says Mr. Lordi gave permission to this, which Mr. Lordi admits, but says this was because he had no idea it would cause such a huge impact. Mr. Lordi gave a public statement that despite what the campaign poster might suggest, Lordi has no allegiance with the True Finns or any other political party.

Vocal and instrumental style
Although Mr. Lordi is always credited with vocals, there are almost always backing vocals. Kita has never sung backing vocals live due to his mask, though he performs and arranges all the backing vocals and most of the voices in the prelude tracks (Scartic Circle Gathering, Threatical Trailer, SCG3 Special Report). On each song, there are five harmonising vocal tracks performed by Kita plus one track for Mr. Lordi's vocals. The other band members only perform the "shouts", for example in "Rock The Hell Outta You" and "Fire in the Hole". Udo Dirkschneider, who guest performed on the track "They Only Come Out at Night", alternates singing with Mr. Lordi while backing vocals continue as normal. Awa occasionally joins in the chorus of the songs.Lordi also often have a vocal break in their songs to allow Amen to have a guitar riff, normally accompanied by Kita and the bassist (Magnum, Kalma, OX) keeping time softly. After this riff, Mr. Lordi will sing either a short verse (occasionally with a distorted voice) or launch directly into the song's end refrain (always the chorus). The guitar is most often the main instrument.
The keyboardist is most often used as an accompaniment in the band's songs. However, in some songs, such as "Icon of Dominance", "The Children Of The Night", "It Snows In Hell", "Ghosts Of the Heceta Head", "Deadache", "Beast Loose In Paradise", "Rock Police" and "Devil's Lullaby" it is the main instrument.
Kita always plays with a great deal of power, blending very well with the style favored by Amen. The drums are used as changing instruments, using a fast and heavy solo to transition from verse to verse, verse to chorus and chorus to verse. However some songs, including "Mr. Killjoy", "Bringing Back the Balls to Rock", "Pet the Destroyer", "Kalmageddon", "Forsaken Fashion Dolls" and Dingo cover "The House", use the drums as main instrument.
The bass is often used in conjunction with Kita's drumming. It is almost never the main instrument, only in a few songs, like "Kalmageddon", "Pyromite", "Haunted Town", "Bite It Like a Bulldog" "This Is Heavy Metal"and Deadache bonus track "Where's The Dragon", but it is occasionally used with drums as a changing instrument.

Filmography
The Kin
In 2004, Lordi co-wrote and starred in their own short film, The Kin, which was released on a special edition of "The Monsterican Dream" (CD/DVD or DualDisc versions) as a way of expanding the band's image and theatricality. It was co-written and directed by Lauri Haukkamaa, with contribution by Adam Vandor. It introduces the audience to members of the band and establishes the concept of superhuman monsters though at no time is any of the band's music played.
The film follows a young writer who loses her mother in a train wreck while she is trying to get her book on non-human creatures published. After a series of problems arise, the monsters, played by the members of Lordi, begin to kill people as well as bend time and space to ensure the publication of the book.
The film shares a lot of Lovecraftian concepts as well as style and pays homage to several B movies and horror films. Only a limited number of DVDs were published and therefore the film's availability has been low. The Kin has also been released on the Market Square Massacre DVD.
