In 2001 Ammondt recorded a new album, Three Songs in Sumerian, featuring Blue Suede Shoes, verses from Gilgamesh, and a translation of the Finnish tango Satumaa sung in ancient Sumerian.
Requested at short notice, the band plays the song from sheet music with the (non-Finnish-speaking) vocalist Napoleon Murphy Brock trying his best to read the Finnish lyrics.

The most famous recording is probably the one made by Reijo Taipale in 1962.
