Rumat sävelet (Finnish for "The Ugly Tunes") is the second album of Finnish rock band Hassisen Kone. It was a successful follow-up to the group's debut Täältä tullaan Venäjä, and was certified platinum in 2005.[2]

Ismo Alanko has said that the album's lyrics partly reflected how he experienced the sudden success of their debut album.[3] This is most evident in the song "Jurot nuorisojulkkikset" ("Surly Youth Celebrities"). Hassisen Kone played the song in 2000 at a reunion concert, even though Alanko thought it was strange singing the song as a 40-year-old.[4]

In 2005 the critics of Soundi rock magazine chose the album to be the fifth greatest Finnish popular music album.
