IEVAN POLKKA (Eva's Polka). AKA - "Finnish Polka," "Levan Polka," "Savitaipaleen Polkka." Traditional Finnish polka, with song words written in the 1930's by Eino Kettunen. The correct Finnish form of "Eva's" is "Ievan;" the variant name "Levan" is a misreading of a capital I as a lower-case L. A verse of Finnish folk singing group Loituma's a cappella version became an internet hit in 2006 when it was used for the background of a looped flash animation of a girl twirling a leek, so the tune is sometimes called Leekspin. It is often played in A minor.
