Oh! MAJINAI & Ievan Polkka
I think this Babymetal video is pretty awesome. Here are 2 descriptive comments from the Youtube page:
Axis : "Japanese band featuring a swedish vocalist, performing a rendition of a finnish song with irish choreography in Denmark... Wow"
Doc Hogan : "I’m sooooooooooooooo confused by this one; Gaelic/Nordic/folk polka, with Irish jig and Indian choreography, and an army of low-Rez spasmodic Joakim robots. My brain hurts. "

A couple of people commented on Reddit that the above song is based on the below Finnish tune. I don't hear the similarity, but enjoy the below song very much too.
