    @Tecumseh An excellent version!

    For many Finns, this George Harrison classic is perhaps better-known as the 1989 hit version recorded by a Finnish group, the Clifters:

    Musically, this version is closer to the original Beatles recording than Nina Simone's take, but the Finnish-language lyrics by Jaana Rinne are completely different.

    The leader of the Clifters, Jiri Nikkinen, later formed his own Beatles tribute band, which does true-to-the-original versions of the whole Beatles repertoire.
