"Levan Polkka" is a Finnish folk song popularized by the virtual vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. The tonality of the song is in A minor. Originally composed by Eino Kettunen in the 1930s, it gained international recognition when it was adapted by Finnish group Loituma in the 1990s. Hatsune Miku's rendition, however, propelled the song to even greater fame in the 2000s, particularly on the internet, where it became associated with a popular internet meme known as the "Leekspin." The melody features a catchy and upbeat rhythm, often accompanied by the sound of leeks spinning, which contributed to its widespread popularity. Despite its origins as a Finnish folk tune, Hatsune Miku's version has made "Levan Polkka" a global sensation within internet culture.
