Muska recorded "Koko viime yön" (Whole last night long) in 1973 for her debut album "Muska". It showcases the raw rock voice of Muska's, quite unique at the time in Finland, when it came to female singers. The original rock was called "Can You Do It" and it was third hit single (number 13 in UK) for British band Geordie. Geordie was fronted by vocalist Brian Johnson and lead guitarist Vic Malcolm. Johnson left the band in 1976 and when AC/DC needed new lead singer after the death of Bon Scott, Brian Johnson was hired in. And, of course, the rest is history ...

I have to ask, where and when is this version published, 'cos I've heard it many times, but on vinyl I only have the original album version which sounds like this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhJ9J1KraHc The original sounds rawer, and your version sounds modernized and a bit "Heavier". Couple of years later also "Vicky" became a female rock singer with raw voice, before she moved on with more Disco liked songs sadly all ready on her second album "1-2-3-4-TULTA! If you can get your hands of her two first albums, listen songs like "C'mon everybody" - "Shoorah shoorah" - "Kääntymään et mua saa""Taas tahdon huutaa sulle hei" - "Siinä ruutia on, kun rakastun" - "James Dean" and "Apinoiden planeetta" Sure her voice was great (and still is), but after her "disco-era" it began to sound a bit softer....
You're right. This Geordie version is not the original, but a re-recorded version from 1980. I'm sorry. I will replace it with THE ORIGINAL version shortly.
I have some of those Vicky's songs you mentioned (plus a couple of other interesting covers). I will publish them some day ...
