Rauli "Badding" Somerjoki (see earlier entry) recorded several pop and rock'n roll classics. This is one example of those. "Kuin runotar hän kulkee" (Like a muse she moves) was released in 1982, as a track on his album "Ikkunaprinsessa". Badding wrote the lyrics himself.

The song was recorded in Nashville and featured such legendary musicians as saxophonist Boots Randolph on saxophone and Floyd Cramer on piano.
