"Yamma, Yamma" was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Finnish by Pave Maijanen.

The song was performed twelfth on the night (following Iceland's Heart 2 Heart with "Nei Eða Já" and preceding Switzerland's Daisy Auvray with "Mister Music Man"). At the close of voting, it had received 4 points, placing 23rd (last) in a field of 23.

The song is in praise of listening to "valve radio", with Maijanen likening it to a stadium with "a hundred musicians inside it". The unusual subject matter and title have contributed to the song becoming something of a favourite among Contest fans.

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1993 Contest by Katri Helena with "Tule Luo".
