HELSINKI, Finland (
UPI) -- A Finnish singer has taken aim at "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell with a song twitting his inability to compete on the show.
MTV.com reports that Sara Nunes' "Simon can't sing" is a big hit in Finland.
As she puts it in the chorus, "Simon can't sing, Simon can't dance.
He doesn't look cool, And he's not in a band.But he thinks he looks so hot when he dresses in black."
The verses are aimed more at contestants.
"American Idol" is shown on Finnish television, and there is also a home-grown "Finnish Idol."
Nunes' told MTV that the song started out as a "harmless joke" that turned into a good number.And she says that she really likes Cowell -- and even thinks that he is cool.
