Album of the day: Fantasiaa (Fantasy Dream) - Vinyl 7" Single (1983) by Finnish singer Ami Aspelund.

Fantasiaa was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1983, performed in Finnish by Ami Aspelund. (In 1977 Aspelund's sister Monica had represented Finland in the Contest with the song "Lapponia"). "Fantasy Dream" was performed ninth on the night and it received 41 points, placing 11th in a field of 20. The song is sung from the perspective of a young woman watching a man and his dog in a park. She asks a series of questions about him, and wonders if this might be "the beginning of a crush". Aspelund also recorded the song in English, then under the title "Fantasy Dream".

Ami Aspelund released her first single in 1973 called "Apinamies", which is a Finnish version of Jungle Jim's Big Fat Orang Uman. Her debut album was published in 1974 and has published many albums sung both in Finnish and in her native language Swedish.
