"Is this glorifying war?" No lady, this song is mocking war.
Not understanding , and the lower IQ is a big problem today , song is about that actually ... HUGE PROBLEM TODAY , and that kind of lill crocodile psychopats have a power to play with the world ...
it's not a mocking song, mrš u three lepe
Not to much on her now…
Well the song is so bad that nobody outside croatia gonna understand it.
It is unfathomable to me that such a sentence even occurred to her and she even said it out loud...
(Meni je nepojmljivo da je njoj ovakva rečenica uopće pala na pamet i još ju je izgovorila na glas...)
I believe many people will understand the message of this performance. And certainly the Slavic countries. I’m from Poland and a few words and symbols were enough for me to guess that this is an anti-war message. The performance is weird and I like it
Nisam mogao pronaći nijedan drugi skup riječi da to opišem. Samo sam uzeo riječi iz usta😮
Me too! Like it's so bizarre it belongs to Eurovision. One week in a year I love to listen music like this one. Cheers from Slovakia.
Hi from Portugal! Did understand what the song was about at first.
I'm Polish as well, anti-war message is obvious, but at first I thought it's about Croatian crimes, but fortuanetelly I dived deeper into it.

I am Pole living in London. This song is pure Trolling. Its against putin and against war. War is madness and this song is also madness. That song showing us what is really war!! its pure stupidity!! And that flowers in their asses showing where they (Rich) can stick flowers for soldiers after sending them for death - BRILLIANT!!!!!. Thats why this song should win!! 12 POINST FROM POLAND!!!
This is a song contest. Enough with Ukraine and their war. Got tired of them and they already got an unfair win because of that last year.
@@DimitrisSartzetakisso you're a fascist. You can look up what a good fascist is. Be good 😂
I'm Australian and I 100% got what this was about!!! It's pretty obvious they're from a subversive, confrontational performance art scene. Anyway - I am now a full blown Let 3 fan, I've been going back through their work and screaming "Why did I not find you 25 years ago!!??!?"
@@DimitrisSartzetakis No, the last year's song was good and probably no country in Europe would exchange right now this win with the war Ukraine has to suffer. By the way the song is not limited to Ukraine, but has a European perspective.
It's not their war. It's ours just as well as we are being attacked and have missiles thrown in our direction. Songs have always helped to uplift the morale. Humour is a great and strong weapon in our defence. Alas, those who are unfortunate enough not to possess such capacity have no other means than actual weapons.
It an anti-war song. You should do more research.. they're amazing. Let 3! ❤
They are not amazing. They are lacking talent and they are actually very bad. Their fans like them because they are vulgar and provocative. That's all there is
No
@@Bee-vy1eo and you've been following their work for the last 30 yrs as well? Let me guess you wanna nice meaningless pop song to win.. 😌
@@lilianalazdina1330actually, yes.
So it is political.
7:36 "The audience didn't know how to react" 😂
They've literally got 180 points from public votes, more than anyone in history
Really? Where can i see the votes?
You can't. It was on live tv.
I have often heard people (from western countries) say that they found the performance disturbing.. Yes, it is. Of course it is! But what is wrong with that? It makes you think, it makes you feel... and maybe motivates to take action.
@@Red-ding-Ton I dont know if HRT, our national broadcast posted it on UA-cam. Look up Dora results, maybe something will show up.
People who were there, said the audience went wild - they loved it!
You will soon discover that this is actually a three minute theatrical masterpiece and not an ordinary song. Thank me later, cheers !
Šč😁
Bravo za komentar
Čupači ograničenih mozgova!!!
"masterpiece" 🤣🤣🤣
They are known to "shock" :)
the audience reacted amazingly, the booo you hear is wooo, witch is like wowwwwwwwwww and clap.
It’s not woooowww, it’s “bravo” lol
I think I heard a BRAVO 🤣
Let me explain - everything.
Let 3 is a band that has been on the Croatian (and Yugoslavian) scene for around 40 years and is famous for its provocative performances. The song is satirical as well as the costumes and the lead singer is dressed as Stalin (not H1itler as I think you thought). It doesn't glorify war, it mocks it as it's an anti-war song.
A man with rockets is Lenin (there is a word play on his forehead that would mean "Lenin") and he holds two missiles in his hands "Lenin 1" and "Lenin 3".
To clarify the lyrics:
Mom - Russia (mom loved a moron - Russia loved a moron (Putin))
Crocodile psychopath - Crocodile is a well-known street drug in Russia that "turns" people into zombies
Mom I'm going to play - he thinks that war is a game and the world is his toy and he is going to play with it
I know that the lyrics sound weird when translated to English but the meaning of those words is simply lost in translation.
And to clarify, the audience knew what to do because they chose to send them as well as the rest of Croatia, it's not just about the song it's about the message we are sending to the Europe (the message being what we think about dictators and war), they were also the most entertaining group on Dora in the last 20 years.
❤
It’s also just crap song
At last!!! A proper explanation!! Thank you. It’s very clever!!
Traktor je zeleni.. i plesaci...*!!!
The tractor refers to a gift Belarus dictator Lukashenko gave to Putin.
Greetings from Australia. This song is actually too smart for the Eurovision. Absolutely brilliant, it's an anti-war mockery of all mad dictators, but of course, the references to Putin and Mother-Russia are quite obvious. It looks strange to me to see that anglophonic people like Georgina don't get it. They are clueless. Well, I hope Let 3 wins the contest, if not, too bad for the contest.
No they are not clueless they just aren't on drugs as it appears you need to be to understand this rubbish! No offence, I know really beautiful Croatian people and this is the worst representation for them.
It’s strange because satire is very much alive and well within the UK. Brits typically love making fun of things. I didn’t realise it was possible to take satire literally!
@@MrQuantumWellness ŠČ 😉
@Robbie Russo thank you, but you clearly know NOTHING of croatian people if you think shitting on the eurovision song is going to get you a positive reaction 😭 insane patriotism really won't let it slide
You need to understand satire and anti-war themes to understand this song...
The lyrics are actually composed of around 5 short verses in total. It's extremely shallow. It's no more than a very cheap attempt to earn political points by speaking against Russian invasion of Ukraine. No effort has been put in actual music and lyrics. It's just very very lazy.
There is no comment of the vocals from you in the video where the vocals should be the point 🤷♂️ the highest note in this song is Bd (A#) sang in chest voice, it is impressive. Especially with the way it was produced. The style to you was more important then the technique & both is. The secondo passagio of the Singer is among the higher ones - and it would be nice if you took time to really talk abut the voice instead of the style. Only that to me is a bit disappointing.
I second this! I clicked on the video because it said 'Vocal coach' and I was interested in learning about the actual singing, not watch a video of prejudiced, uninformed reactions.
I third this. The woman was so stunned she forgot what she and her channel was about. Seems like song hit the bullseye :).
She did comment on the vocals. Watch it again, and try to actually pay attention, troll.
I agree, i normally like her dry comments on the singing.
I agree with you. As far as I was concerned, I did not expect the lady to provide me with a judgment about the performance of the band, but rather its vocals and musicians' play.
This song undoubtedly has an ironic overtone, it makes fun of cruel people who should not be glorified, but rather ridiculed. It's a very similar creative treatment to Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds... it's hard to believe that you didn't pick it up and treated this song so superficially.
Yeah, I must confess that I was pretty surprised by how far she missed the target, oh, well...
Precisely. You'd not be wrong to call their artistic expression anti-kitsch.
@@Ennar its punk pure but they dont care, some say they are doing it for money but their work is cult allready for more than 30 years on bouth sides of mount Učka
Well, looking at the song without context for the first time, its kinda hard to not see it in this way
i think everyone outside of Croatia is not picking up that war is something to be ridiculed. it's actually shocking to see fireworks come from missiles when there are many millions displaced humans around the world because of war. Maybe if they had sung it in English, so people affected by war, especially the children from Ukraine could maybe not understand it. i can't imagine how a child refugee affected by war would feel seeing this and not understanding the words. i think this will go down extremely badly on the night and put croatia in a bad light. At least it's not the UK gettvng nil points for once!
Dear Georgina! Your reaction is typical for the people who does not speak Croatian language. The song is actually a very strong anti-war song full of symbolism. Let's start with the lyrics. The title "Mama ŠČ" should be written "Mama Щ", this "Щ" is from the Cyrillic alphabet that is used for writing Russian. "Mama" is Mother and symbolizes "Mother Russia". For the line "Mama kupila traktora" (Mother bought a tractor) I found on the Internet two explanations: 1. Belarus is a type/model of tractor produced in Russia, and the line "Mother bought a tractor" means that Russian government "bought" belorussian leader Alexander Lukashenko to help Russia to invade Ukraine. 2. Alexander Lukashenko allegedly send a tractor as a gift to Vladimir Putin for his 70th Birthday. The line "Mama ljubila morona" (Mother loved/kissed a moron) means that the during humans History a lots of Motherlands/Fatherlands loved a so called great leader (in the most recent case - Vladimir Putin), who is actually a moron, a psychopath who starts a war, and the little people unwillingly have to go to fight and die. They also bring other people misery and death. This is also the explanation of the line "Mother, I'm going to war". This leader is a small psychopath because many of dictators were short people. For the phrase "crocodile psychopath" could be used two explanation: 1. The dictator who attacks his neighbor sheds crocodile tears because - in his words - he didn't wanted a war, but he was forced to attack 2. "Crocodile" or "Russian heroine" is a type of synthetic drug called also "the zombie-drug" because the user starts to act like a zombie, feels nothing just like a zombie, and is capable to do terrible things.
Now, the performance and it's symbols. The lead singer is a cartoonish mix of a dictator (officers cap and Stalin-like mustache) and a member of the LGBTQ+ community (colorful dress and heavy makeup) symbolizing tendency of any dictatorship to eliminate everything that is out of the usual expectation of the leader (it's documented that the Nacis outlawed homosexuals and send them to concentration camps to be exterminated, and Putin is also persecutes the members of the LGBTQ+ community). The other members of the band and the background-projection is the mocking of the usual propaganda used by dictators to brainwash the ordinary citizens. And finally the guy dressed in black with the rockets. I read somewhere that he symbolizes Rasputin, a fanatic Russian monk in the early 20th century. On his forehead is a sign "NJINLE" (scrambled "LENJIN", which is the Croatian version of the name of Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin). My personal view is that it's a symbol of criticism of religious radicalism/fanaticism - not religion, but radicalism and fanaticism. I lived through the period of wars in former Yugoslavia, and I heard on television calls for a holy war. The rockets as the last symbols the be explained have the sign of radiation warning on them, so they are rockets with nuclea warheads ready for launch to destroy the whole Earth, to bring us the Armageddon. It's a reminding that Putin and his henchmen warn the governments who helps Ukraine that Russia is ready to use even nuclear weapons if necessary.
This was a pretty long explanation, but without it you can easily misunderstand the song's real message. The same thing happened to me when I saw the video for the first time. Then I start to research, and now I see the song from a completely different angle. The band is well known and pretty popular in the region, and has a tendency to provoke, even shock (that explains their costumes on the scene). The lead singer and the bass player (the guy with the longer mustache on the right from the lead singer) are the driving force of the band, and they made a very catchy song with a strong anti-war message. At the same time the band just don't care about the placement on Eurovision song contest in Liverpool, they just want to go there, do they best performance possible and have fun. Btw. Your Channels name is "Honest Vocal Couch", so I ask you what do you think about the lead singers vocal performance?
her reaction is typical for dumb people not for non-croatian speaking people. she had the lyrics right in front of her but still could not figure it out, not even with "little psychopat". But you know what - this was the exact goal of Let 3, that the lyrics fly over the heads of narrow minded people so that they cannot be disqualified for political messages.
@@lolollolol5654 Not to mention... these dudes lived through war in the 1990s... or did she forgot how ugly the Yugoslav war was? How can she think that... this is prowar song?
thank you so much for the explanation, I think this is a great piece and now, understanding the meaning it is more brilliant. :)
Really love your explanation!
@@soniquecat4745 Well, there are still revisionist people, but I highly doubt they would ever consider to perform in ESC.
Dear lady, to begin from start I’m from Croatia and need to tell you few things. First things first you didn’t do your homework, learn something about LET 3 their songs and past, they aren’t only singers they are artist. I call this an ART and the real evidence is all you making weird faces and disapproving it because art is here to shock, to ask questions, to express feelings and educate, isn’t it? Not being able to understand art like this is common and not to be a shame of but I’m assuring you that this song perfectly summons current situation in Europe…Yes LET3 is here to make fun with all of us and speed some love and they are coming with a tractor 🚜
They are very friendly, kind and polite but like to blow corks 🍾 from their holes sometimes…
I mean, you may be right by any means but the purpose of this reaction is to react while not knowing at all what will come, and she does that everytime. It actually serves a purpose to react like that because people who will watch Eurovision will mostly not know the artists that will be performing, the meaning of the language and of the lyrics. And yes as you said, this is art, like all songs, and art is subjective, you can appreciate it or not.
Well said! But don't bother explaining it to her, because she'll never understand it.
She did her homework. It's reaction video. It supposed to be authentic.
@@tekjow sorry - I haven't seen a lot of REACTIONS in her video.....just a whole lot of unnecessary and INCORRECT comments on the lyrics SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND. She missed the whole point. Nobody expects her to understand Croatian - but she shouldn't have commented on the meaning of the song and continue with completely WRONG interpretation of the lyrics until she did a bit of research. Kinda makes me question her competence...
They are riding a tractor because they are Ustashas. It's a reference to Operation Storm 1995. And Ustashas are Nazis. You are glorifying Nazis. And I really wish I was exaggerating.
Lol the more I watch it, the more I actually enjoy this performance somehow
Such an intelligent and brilliant piece of art. It has theatrical value and stands out among generic pop songs. Most important is, it shares anti-war propaganda. 12 points!
Quite the opposite, in fact. It's an anti-Russia song, and obviously, pro-Ukraine. By being pro-Ukraine, it's also being pro-war.
@@mrjedidja That doesn't make sense, since Ukraine is anti-war. Are you sure you don't live in a Soviet alternative reality? 😁
This is a satirical Zappa-ish and in fact a very serious master piece. I'm afraid you've missed the whole point with this song.
Let 3 is an iconic Croatian rock band who’s been pushing the limits for 30 years. Once they published a record named “Silence”, and all that was on CD was - silence 😅
They’re singing about Lukashenko’s gift to Putin for his 70th birthday. The former gifted the latter a tractor. “Mama ŠČ” is a referral to Russia, with “šč” being the letter “щ” of the Russian alphabet. The lyrics “Mama ljubila morona” or “Mum was kissing a moron” refer to “Mother Russia” admiring Putin.
It is a critic against Putin and war in general. The moustaches are iconic for Let 3, and they always perform with fake moustaches on. They’re dressed like drag queens due to Russia’s homophobic policies. They, middle-aged macho men, stand proud on stage wearing maskara and makeup delivering massive criticism not many would dare to do.
The inscription on one of the performers’ forehands is “Njinle” which in Croatian slang means “Lenjin”.
I’m a big fan of your videos. You could’ve at least done some research on the band beforehand, but it’s easier to assume that it’s a militaristic anthem calling people to go to war I guess.
Go Let 3! 🇭🇷
Actually, "Mum was in love with a moron", or "loved a moron", or "fell in love with a moron". I wouldn't opt for "kissing", I don't think that's the best translation.
The point of a reaction is sort of not to do research first lmao
Why research the band if it’s a blind reaction?
Album Silence is knock off(Frank Zappa...and I'm not even sure he was the first one)
To i meni ide na živce, kritiziraš, a nemaš pojma o čemu se radi.
You misinterpreted the song completely :D
The song is against war!
Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator (Staljin) while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him a crocodile but also it is a drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies.
Lyrics could be translated like this:
Mama bought a tractor
Mama loved a moron
Bridge: (The most chaotic part of the song; letters of Croatian alphabet)
Mama im going to war!
That little psychopath
Little viscous psychopath
Crocodile psychopath
Mama, I'm going to war
💡fun facts:
💃Let 3 has been on Croatian music stage for over 30 years, they are known for provoking, satirical songs based on political events
🚜They actually arrived to Dora music contest on tractor
✏ŠČ is the oldest letter of Croatian's Glagolitic script originated in 9th century
Let's hope the commentators explain this WELL since no one clearly understands except Croatians and informed foreigners.
I would simply vote for them because they look and sound outrageous, not because of the "underlying message" which is horribly translated on stage.
The war in Ukraine ;)
Traktor je zeleni....*!!!
hi :) here are some things from the interview translated from Croatian to English:
- When asked if the song refers to the war in Ukraine or to wars in general, Prlja says yes to wars in general. "And not only about wars, specifically this one is really relevant now. As artists, we have the need to react to some kind of phenomenon, and war is really a terrible phenomenon, but in general the song is, let's say, that it sings about these kind of powerful and arrogant characters who think that the planet is their toy, but also at lower levels, those whose mom and dad buy a powerful car so they think they can park wherever they want," he said.
- Asked if Putin is a psychopath, Prlja says that in this situation it is specific. "But if the song had been written ten years ago, someone else would have been in that role, 30 years ago someone else again. In 10 years, unfortunately, it will probably be someone else again".
"The anti-war theme will not help us win more points, but it should help all of us, because the anti-war theme is a message for a lot of peace and love. That is the only message we are sending," added Mrle.
but let me try and interpret the song for you:
1. this is anti-war song, mocking Putin and all the dictators throughout history, and also they are dressed that way to support lgbtq+ community, not other way around (dictators were homophobes, they are dressed as a ''drag version'' of them, let's call it irony or satire)
2. Mama ŠČ - Mother Russia, also šč is a letter from russian azbuka (but also from glagolitic)
3. mama kupila traktora - a reference to Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin
4. little psychopath - Putin, Staljin but also Lenjin (eng. Lenin - the bald guy has NJINLE on his forhead, basically it's a wordplay and it stands for Lenjin)
there are many layers to the song, from the lyrics to the clothes and stage performance, it's not a joke entry, and I hope this will help you to understand some off it
lots of love from Croatia! 🥰🥰🥰
Koje su ugodno osvježenje Hrvati Youtuba ❤️ čudo! Pogotovo kao protuteža zapadnoeuropskoj prepotenciji.
#EŠČ2023
Please add Boris Johnson called Putin a crocodile! That’s why they are singing crocodile psychopath
Since the art can be perceived subjectively. This seems to me like joke on west media... preparing gay population of west to face russian crocodiles. Seems to me like parody of ongoing war propaganda. If this is the case, I would argue, that artists would not reveal this, maybe only after the eurovision 😉.
Meni su bili šokantni ali sve više mi se sviđa pjesma!!! Imala sam njihovu kazetu sa 18 godina i slusala ih cijelo ljeto... Tesko je shvatiti strancima da su oni intelektualni umjetnici... Go let 3!!!
it's an avantgarde anti-war song. This group is very wellknown in the states of former yugoslavia. I think 'cause of the weird performance, which is going viral, and the fact, that there is only televoting in the semifinal, it have the chance to reach the grand final.
I'm from Spain and although I can't understand everything they say I can't stop listening the song. I really like it and I like the meaning behind the lyrics. I hope people can appreciate it. 👏👏
This song is a masterpiece! Believe me. It's actually an anti-war song (anti P.). Mother refers to mother Russia, and guess who got a 🚜 for his last birthday? - litle, eavil , psychopath...
They are Croatian rock band found in 1987, I've been to many concerts, I love their songs and their performances, which is always theatrical, unlike some other singers on the scene. Since they've been on the scene for a long time they know what they are doing. I understand it's hard to understand this if you haven't been a whitnes of their work for many years.
Best song ever on Eurosong. They are great artists. They express themselves sarcastically.
That's hard cord satire about one crazy country next to the Europe with one ally and both of them trying to destroy the whole continent....guess everybody got references. I love it! Well done Croatia, I'll vote for you. Greetings from Ukraine
Let 3 absolute legends from Rijeka 💙
It's definitely not a song to make u dance or whatever. But they are going for a bigger message and I'm here for it . Honestly just happy for them making it to Liverpool. Go Croatia 🇭🇷❤️🇦🇱
Watch this dance become trending on TikTok in next 3 months :D
Thanks dear pals! 🇦🇱🇭🇷👍
A ljudi plesu na ovo, rade videa i plesu na mama šč.
Um no we had better songs this one is just messy and unplesent to listen too
@@markojovanovic5901 so is the world right now (unplesent)
OMG you actually tried to analyze LET 3 vocals... 😅😅
It is an anti-war satirical parody that was originally made for a theatrical performance. It talks about insanity of war, psychopaths who advocate it, and the chaos of Armageddon we have been threatened with.
So the guy is dressed as a zombie drag queen Stalin not because they glorify the war - it`s the opposite. The lyrics are pure symbolism; he doesn`t shout mama is a moron as you said, but "mama kissed the moron" referring to Mother Russia and their president. The internet is flooded with explanations of the rest of the lyrics.
They have been pushing boundaries in Croatia for decades by standing against homophobia, nationalism and chauvinism, and always doing it in "scandalous, provocative" ways. Is this for Eurovision? Unsurprisingly not, I don`t think the world can handle them - but I don`t think Croatians actually care. In Croatia and the region LET3 have a cult status, and many people are able to comprehend their art.
So Croatian audience knew how to react - they chose them :)
You are right.
She actually didn't say a word about vocals. :)
Anti-Russia, not anti-war. And given that they are not saying anything about Ukraine (northe West that is fueling the war), they are actually pro-war. They aren't saying it explicitly, of course, and maybe they don't see themselves as being pro-war, but they nonetheless are. The rest is propaganda consumed by naive Croatians. And note that any and every song with some sort of social commentary is a propaganda song. Do you really think that the entertainment industry should be used to spread propaganda? Is that the purpose of entertainment, what do you think?
I love it! It's very European! Theatre is good! Eurovision needs songs like this!
O like it a lot, reminds me of Queen, everything about it as a purpose, this is theater 🎭
From Portugal with love ❤️
I love it. It’s my winner so far. For me this is a masterpiece,the best.
12 points from Germany ❤🚜🚜❤️
Fun fact they had the highest score from televote in Dora ever!
Where i can see votes?
It's actually an acid critic to war. An intelligent way of mocking 'mother Russia'
Okey but as konstrakta last year noone cared about message but at least konstrakta was catchy and she was legend, this is just not fun to look at or listen
It is an anti-war song. The song refers to dictators in general, which are described as "little vile psychopath". Tractor could be a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. The vocalist represents the great dictator, while the other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother is a metaphor for mother Russia and ŠČ is a letter from the russian alphabet (Щ). It is a satirical rock opera, very theatrical, clever, funny and entertaining, while at the same time sending a very serious message.
They've got 2.3 million views in 3 days + 0.4 million on the Eurovision channel in 24h. It's an anti-war message song. People either love it or hate it. It was a televote landslide victory on Saturday and they also got the most votes from the jury. I think you're wrong about the audience...
Like Monty Phyton on acid, someone said. Absolutely bonkers. They're famous in Croatia and have been in the music industry for almost 4 decades. ŠČ is a Russian letter Щ. Mum is most likely Mother Russia. And the tractor is Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. Guess who the mean little psychopath is!
I think that's brilliant and epic. Highly entertaining and even not that bad musically. I love the shocking effect and your reaction (of absolute disgust) is precious. The rocket is Lenin (anagram) and obviously, the singer is Stalin. I believe you're going to be surprised by their result. You ain't seen nothing yet! Mum, I'm going to war! Regards!
Great song with powerfull message!

Hi Georgina from Croatia. The song is antiwar, they are not glorifying war, quite the opposite. There is deeper meaning behind the lyrics, performance and costumes. Thank you for reaction.
Haha! Thanks for this reaction of yours. As a Croatian it is so interesting to see kinda shocked and confused expression.
This group, Let 3 is active around 30 years in Croatia and well known in ex Yugoslavia, and they always were here to make you unconfortable. However, their performances as provocatice to most people, were always considered respected in Croatia as they mock current political propaganda.
Actually this song is not promoting a war in any way, but mocking all the dictators and referring to current unfortunate events in a provocative way.
Anyhow, in Croatia we are really happy sending this song, as we finally got out of that ugly comfort zone, that fake one hit wonders and cheesy balads.
I can understand your discomfort, and thank you once again for sharing your thoughts. I wish you all the best! 🙂
I m glad that i see someone is commenting without knowing difference between bravo and booo, also audience loved performance, the past decade Eurovision is focusing more on theater performance then on vocal so Let 3 just gived what they wanted, and they are so hilarious in our country, fun fact is that they are performing for 3o years like that, we have just different type of "art" here (call it whatever you want 🙂
Yes, in her country, they have art stolen from Greece and India.
@@gomoestas I do not think so.There are great performers artist of of any styles in her country... Let say Monty Python is on among them, but it takes a little intelligence to catch and understand that type of art an humor.
actually, there was one booo right before bravo
@@nikicamalezic5388 I am obviously reffering to stolen Parthenon marbles that Britain is refusing to give back to Greece
@@nixa123 So there was one pro-putkin clown in the audience
I love it! Watch this pick up a lot of phone votes in May. Plus the ŠČ bits stick in your head
When I first saw this performance I was experiencing a WTF moment too as the song is not pleasant on the ears. But with a partner who is of Croatian background living in Australia, I quickly learnt that the Google translation to English was not really accurate but I also worked out myself what this song was all about. Very clever indeed to get this song into the competition without the EBU blocking it too. I predict this song to go very well this year and will be very popular within ex Soviet countries in particular. Go Croatia 🇭🇷
this is sooo refreshingly good 🧡💛💚💙- it has some Iggy Pop & Slade meets Queen vibe with a different vocal :)😄 after I was under shock that boring replacable songs won in Italy, Denmark.... this give me the vibes back - of a real diversity in music at Eurovision 2023 - its a clear Anti War song and represents the actual reality in Europe.... and for teaching you a bit contemporary history - its not the german during WW2 - its the Lukashenko from 2023 who is the Dicator of Belarus who has the same look as the german guy 🙄😪 ^12 points from Vienna
I love watching anyone's first reaction to this song lmao
There's a chance it actually slays the televote
This song is a antiwar rock opera in 3 minutes and maybe if you listened carefully you would hear that. You kept making pauses and didnt even listen song but looked at them. And by the way audience never buuued, they claped and screamed bravo, so ŠČ!
I understand that you don't have time to investigate every song on the eurovision contest but if you're gonna talk about it this is the one you must. It has hidden meanings in almost every new verse and you can look it up. The way everything is exaggerated is of course on purpoise. There have had a career for years so they have quite the experience. This is the one song that may sound silly but is actualy quite deep and you can't look at it from a shallow angle and think you've got it. I just wish you focused more on his voice since he can sing almost anything. Love you G. as always and positive thoughts from Croatia.
let 3 is quite a popular band in Croatia, we are somehow used to their extravagant performances. The song has an anti-war theme, they criticize the current war situation in Ukraine and the song is full of hidden messages and the point of everything is to provoke a reaction (good or bad) in which they succeeded.
Art is more than just notes put one next to each other. We are living in a chaotic world where one man is threatening to blow it up with a push of a button. This is art and it is made for competition cold euroVISION. It has strong allusion to Putin. ŠČ is a letter from Russian alphabet that does not exist in Croatia and mama alludes to Mother Russia. Song is about psychopath that is loved by ‘mama šč’, who has decided to play with his bombs and start the war. It is opening many other topics like treatment of LGBTQ community under dictatorships etc. Even musical disorder has a message. Unfortunately this is the song that represents the time we live in. It is not Euphoria, not Insieme, not only Teardrops and not Toy. It is ‘mama šč’ and chaos.
Hello! I just watched your video. I know it can be hard to understand something that is non-English song but there is huge meaning behind "simple lyrics". They made this song as anti-war song toward Russia. Also this band is famous in Croatia for decades to be provocative but in good way and they are veteran at music scene with huge respect of other colleagues. I'm glad they're representing our country and all best luck to them. ♥️
PS- Please lady I respect every criticism towards each song that you watch but do further research after your reaction and have a lovely day! 🤗
This band is actually quite popular in the Balkans. Their satire is amazing. I'll definitely vote for them, I am Serbian :) I actually thought they were extremely good the first moment I heard the song, I just didn't know that they'd win Dora...but I am so happy about it and I always support "out-of-the-box" artists.
As a vocal coach, are you commenting on vocals or the outfits? XD I am curious. Also, do you do any research when you choose a song to comment on?
You're allowed to dislike something, of course, but just being plain ignorant about the thing you're reacting to, or not having a decent research about it, it is never a good thing if you're a reaction channel.. :) cheers
To Georgina's defence (and my own), I would like to clarify that this song expects far too much of an audience that has never heard about these artists, nor seen any of their performances. This will be the case for the overwhelming majority of Eurovision's viewers. They hear (and see!) this song for the first time in the semifinal and they see a bunch of middle-aged men with Hitler moustaches, weirdly semi-military cross-dressed and not singing particularly well, repeating something about a mum and a tractor, carrying around rockets and doing a kind of strip show in the end. We just don't get it. It is not funny, just weird. After reading the explanations, I understand that they have a massive following in the Balkans and quite a reputation, but we just don't get all that by listening to it (and watching it) for the first time. And even now, I still think it is not a very good entry.
@@gealedevries9964 maybe not everything has to spelt out, and the audience should use their brains to analyse art ... we're not American and art does have to be so literal.
Never heard of them and im from serbia
This is actually an antiwar song. The song is chaos as war is chaos. It has a lot of "hidden" messages, e.g. ŠČ is an letter in Cyrillic alphabet, mama ŠČ connects to "mother Russia", or for that part any "motherland" used in case of any dictatorship. They are dictators, some people find elements of Charlie Chaplin portraits of Hitler, even more people think singer is impersonator of Putin - who is "that little psychopath" and "crocodile psychopath" , again because "crocodile" is a street name for a drug in Russia that "turns people to zombies". So mother ŠČ loved the moron, psychopath, dictator and we have now war, because the dictator (singer) is saying "Mum, I'm going to war". The person holding rockets has Lenin written on his forhead (as an anagram) but he is dressed like Rasputin. Tractors are, I think, connected to the tractor that Lukashenko has bought for Putins birthday... To sum up, the song, with its visuals is meant to portray the chaos, nonsence and stupidity of the war and dictators. It can be also taken as a criticizm of any psychopath, dictator that ever was, is, or will be on this planet who wants to go to war. In the song that psychopath is saying."mum, I'm going to war". So, I hope that at least I managed to explain lyrics a bit so it is easier to understand the message behind the song and the costumes and all the visual parts . The group that sings this went to Dora for a joke, to have some fun. They were more than surprised when they won. I don't think that they care at all if they will qualify or not. They have the reaction all over the world and that is actually what they always wated to do and always have done - to provoke a shock and reaction. So, for them I think, mission accomplished.
They are actually very anti-fascists, anti-corruption, anti hypocrisy and this is the antiwar song. And this is the first drag show Croatia ever had.
Absolute favorite for winning the Eurosong! Good work guys!
No way this gets into finals, let alone win the eurovision 😂
@@aleksaivanovic8375 And so, you've been proven wrong. 🤣 Who's laughing now?!
It is an absolute masterpiece. You'll see later when you fully understand the meaning of the song. 😁
hi Georgina 🤩 appreciate your work so far so i'd love for you to understand the concept 🤣
it's actually very much antiwar song, part of their opera they're working on in our dear Croatia💚

LYRICS EXPLAINED
Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him a crocodile but also it is a drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies.
Lyrics could be translated like this:
Mama bought a tractor
Mama loved a moron
Bridge: (The most chaotic part of the song; letters of Croatian alphabet)
Mama im going to war!
That little psychopath
Little viscous psychopath
Crocodile psychopath
Mama, I'm going to war
💃Let 3 has been on Croatian music stage for over 30 years, they are known for provoking, satirical songs based on political events
✏️ŠČ is the oldest letter of Croatian's Glagolitic script originated in 9th century
so give it a chance or two🙌
As I see no comments here, let me try to explain Let 3.
They are having this provocative style for about 30 years.
The song is not pro war as you have said.
It is satirical depiction about current conflict in Europe.
Guy with rockets has 'Njinle' written on his forehead. It is word play for Lenin, Ninle-Lenin (Lenjin in croatian).
Lead singer is supposted to be Stalin (You-Know-Who's role models).
Other word plays are 'mama' meaning mother Russia, 'tractor' is about gift Putin got from Lukashenko and also about Belarus being name of tractor model. 'Crocodile' is remembering time Johnson compared Putin to a crocodile, and finally I do believe everyone can guess who is 'vile little psychopat' referring to.
Song is mostly liked because people who were in war for their independence 30 years ago can have a lot of empathy for a nation suffering even worse enemy.
Behind the scenes Let 3 said most of this and they also added that some people (You-Know-Who) should not think about world as their playground and threaten with armageddon.
There were no comments because this person didn't want them here.
It is the greatest performance....
Hello from Croatia.
I'm sorry that the video shocked you. The intention of this band, which has been on the Croatian music scene for about 30 years, is to shock decent people with their every public performance. They're known for getting naked on the stage, and worse. It just is shocking, but I'd like to point out several things. This isn't a war song, but actually an anti-war song directed at Putin, Russia, and the Ukrainian war. E.g. the little psychopath is Putin, Mama ŠČ is Russia, and the tractor they mention refers to the birthday present that Putin got from the Belarussian president. Personally, I'm pretty resistant to undecent things, and therefore I can watch this without freaking out. I like it, personally. And for some reason, this song got most points from the jury, and by far the most points from viewers at home, winning at the contest very convincingly. But I also would like to point at that all songs this year are terrible. To summarize, this is something to freak out from, but not because of presumptions you have. The song is not a glorification of war.
This song is something like some Image on gallery worth 10.000.000$ and on first none know why but when someone explain to you why is to expensive and why is masterpiece and this song is masterpiece...
ŠČ is a letter from the Russian alphabet. Let3's rock operasong is about current Russian war aggression. They have been on Croatian music scene for over 30 years and are known for making provoking, satirical songs based on political events.
They actually arrived to the contest on a tractor.
Song is full of symbolism.
In short, tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents Stalin, while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him crocodile. Crocodile is also drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies. 😀
It actually isn't about the war in Russia at all, and they've said it and laughed at the interpretation. But they're just showing how brainwashed the western world is at this point, and that everyone will like any terrible crap regardless, as long as it's anti-Russian. That's kinda the hidden point.
@@derbigpr500 where they've said that? Would like to have a look ☺️
I actually liked the song after hearing it the first time because I'm into art performances, and this performance seemed to have a lot of hidden messages. The only thing I got from the beginning was that the song probably references the Russian War in Ukraine.
So, thanks so much for all the comments that explain the song to confused people like me.
So since I see some people don't get it or didn't do any research on the song it's not glorifying war in any way it's actually an anti war song, mama šč is actually referred to Russia and in some way they are mocking Putin and other leaders (on the forehead it's written Lenjin) that are sending innocent people to war. Let 3 is an performance band and in Croatia is really popular.
Sorry if I wrote something wrong, english is not my first language 😅
LET 3 is an iconic Croatian punk rock / alter band well known for bizarre and eccentric performances. They have been on the scene since the 80s, so this is pretty much what they do all the time :). The song is about psychopath Putin and what is going on at the moment. It is very much an antiwar song with a very straightforward message.
In fact, they did not plan to win it, just perform and spread a message in their typical artistic style. But they won and the rest of it will be history. :)
Greeting from Croatia.
I love this song and I am happy to share why. I think it is very difficult to find a more relevant song for the present European reality we all are living in. Eurovision is about Europe and Europe is at war. It is insane to ignore it. This song just clearly mirrors the reality we are living in. And what is the meaning of Eurovision? Is it a constant repetition of what has already been seen and heard, or is it a feast of the new, provocative, queer and breath-taking? I vote for Eurovision being a feast of modern art, not just polite and clueless repetition of the past. This song is modern art. Everything has a meaning, it is full of metaphors.
You didn't understand Konstrakta last year and you don't understand this neither. Stick to classical, pop and other generic music bcs you are not able to listen to anything artistic, satirical or "out of the box".
not to speak about her reaction to Subwoolfer last year. She's simply not willing or not able to understand artistic choices that exceed generic patterns. Normally I'd feel a bit sorry for her, but considering how rude her reaction to Let 3 was, the shitstorm now is well deserved.
@@Pilzsuppe777 Agreed!
this is masterpiece, all small thing visual and secret meanings knows people that live in east part of Europe
Yes, this is REALLY going to Eurovision 😘 By the way, you've totally missed the point. This is an anti-war song.
Hahahaha! Your interpretation of the lyrics is so funny! That's not what they are supposed to mean!
I’m really suprised, since I was sure if someone will get it - that would be a country of Monty Pythons.
Believe me, many of us do get it - and love it!
Kak je pametna!!! Mama ŠČ je baš za Eurovision , i posebno za Engleze na čelu sa ovom facom!
Zavrsicete prvi otpozadi i to u polufinalu. I to s punim pravom. Uzasno nekrativni i krajnje pateticni.
😂❤

Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ.

Ther ARE actually doing it. That"s Let 3. Shocking and provocative ever since they started back in the late '80"s. It's not about glorifying a war, on the contrary. Mama ŠČ is about "Mama Russia and it's first son". EDIT: IT goes like this:
Mama ŠČ = Mama Russia (as the leter shch/ŠČ/щ is the most distinguishing letter of the Russian alphabet ).
Mama kupila traktora = Russia bought Belarus off (Belarus is a manufacturer and has well known brand of tractor called Belarus)
Mama was kissing a moron (Mama Russia was kissing its first son. Not to name anyone 😀)
Crocodile psychopath = crocodile being very popular drug in Russia, making people feel and act like zombies. Another reference is Boris Johnson that said "Negotiating with Pu-tin is like dealing “with a crocodile when it’s in the middle of eating your left leg.” ).
So that's pretty much about it. 😀
Loved the reaction 🙂. The song is a satire of a Russian-ukranian war. Traktor is about Putins present from lukashenko and Putin is called a pyscopath and the Words on the forehead form Lenjin ( Lenin)
And šč (sc) is a reference to the russian alphabet as in mama šč is mother Russia
It is one song from an antiwar opera made in collaboration with Paolo Magelli at Croatian National Theatre in Split
It is a genius, it art, pure art.
i love how confused you were when he started to sing lol 😆😅
people might hate this but i think this will qualify to the final.. :v
Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with rockets has NINLE on his forhead (wordplay:Nin-Le=Lenin) and is dressed as a monk to represent Rasputin. Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia (ŠČ is a letter specific to russian alphabet), and crocodile is a drug popular in Russia that makes people act like zombies. Guys are dressed in military uniforms but in pink and bright colors and are wearing dresses bcs Putin is homophobic. This is a true anti-war song we all need!
This song is masterpiece. We have a great chance for qualifying this year. ŠČ! 🇭🇷🇭🇷💪
The song is probably my favorite song from this Eurovision.
Mama ŠČ represents mother Russia. The “mom brought a tractor” line references to Belarus dictator giving Putin a tractor as a birthday gift.
The main singer is representing Stalin and the one with the nukes is representing Lenin (word play on his forehead).
So the song is basically mocking dictators and their actions. Like calling Putin a korkodil psychopath (krokodil is a very very dangerous drug popular in Russia).
So no, the song isn’t anti war. It uses themselves like war anthems (shown in the chorus) to its advantage to actively satirize them.
Now I’m not Croatian nor do I speak the language. So I’m getting my sources from other people and sites, but from what I have read. This is on par with what Let 3 usually does.
Love this song
Amazing energy.
Amazing anti-war messege. 😍😍😍
I watch you constantly, but did you thought for a second this song has a meaning? Read what people wrote, u will understand. I am from Croatia, when i first saw and heard it I started laughing, like wtf is going on. I mean roses popping out of the buts and other stuff 😅. It’s just crazy, but that’s their style. They always make a show to remember. When u learn what is it about it becomes masterpiece. This song is not a song for everyday listening, it sends a massage. 🇭🇷❤️
The song is about Russia,Putin,Lukashenko. The guy with the bombs is Lenin. EDIT: Little better explanation - Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him a crocodile but also it is a drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies.
This song is about individuals who think they own the world and can play with it as a toy, from the street sheriffs to the country leaders who want to conquer their neighbors. And the message is: How dare you, why do you make people suffer, why do you make people experience war.
This is anti war song. Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him a crocodile but also it is a drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies. The singer is dressed like Charlie Chaplin in movie Great dictator because they are mocking all dictators, psychopaths who makes a small, ordinery man to go to war against their will. Part - trajnanina is really lullaby because all dictators are telling fairy tales to their people, washing their brains with media and then using them as soldiers as their lives doesn't matter. Armagedon nona / armagedon granmother is old demented dictator who has the power to destroy this world we are living in. And with this song they are asking question - Who dares to destroy this world and sacrifice young men lifes...for what? All the sounds and lights are here to show the chaos of the war. That is avant -garde theater technique and I think Ionesco, Beckett and Brecht would be very proud to see this. Let 3 is great punk rock croatian band and nobody was saying booo to them. They are on scene for over 30 years and this is normal for them. The singer is actually amazing vocal and they are artists. check their work. Croatia is saying no to war and no to dictators this year
This is an art protest performance, well thought in every detail, even Croatians didnt understand it at first , but after solving the puzzle that this performance is , i have to say its a masterpiece....lots and lots of hidden meaning , visual , music and in any other possible way.....its satire at its best.the first part of the music references the soviet greyness and hopless monotony, the next part its about chaos...and so on...wery well thought in every detail....
I'm so sorry you didn't experience the song at all. Many did not understand it, even those who understood the language. This especially surprises me, because the scene itself, costumes and props actually speak for themselves. Well, good. For those who need clarification, it's an anti-war song. Psychopaths and morons are all those who think that wars are a game and that the planet is their toy, so let's play. You keep saying you're scared, but the world is a scary place right now. It was a terrible place in the past, and it will be in the future, as long as there are these morons that "mom" loves and supports. Each listener can freely imagine who would be a moron for him, and who would be the one who loves him and looks up to him. The translation of the song is disastrously bad, so "trajna - nina" is part of the chorus of an old folk song from the region where the group is from, and "nona" (grandmother) after Armageddon was probably inserted just because it rhymes with "morona". The costumes are a parody of military uniforms, one even looks stained with blood, their lips are blood red (we have a term "bloodthirsty" for those who always call for bloodshed), etc.
The vocal coach did not say a single sentence about vocals.
That is untrue.
If you understand English, she made excellent points about the vocals.
Are you referring to the part where she talks about the low vocal? That has nothing to do with the quality of the vocals. The only thing that she gave an opinion on are bare legs, rockets, and uniforms.
This song is indeed going to Eurovision, unless the EBU decides to ban them from participate. It will be unique at Eurovision, there haven’t been any heavy rock songs let. This is the closest we’ve got so far this year.
I like the song
Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's (president of Belarus) birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with rockets has NINLE on his forhead (wordplay:Nin-Le=Lenin). Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia, and crocodile is a drug popular in Russia that makes people act like zombies.
Omg you got it all wrong 😂
From "mama is a moron" , "this song is about grandma being a psychopat" to "buu" at the very end from the public which never happened hahah ( it was bravo not buu)... Miss, you even had read all the lyrics, maybe you can't understand what the exact point of this song is, but where in the earth it says all the things you talked about in this video haha.. it's ok not to like particular song but to trash talk like this and you haven't even tried to find the real meaning behind this performance is beyond me.
Greetings 😉
It is really interesting that vocal coach did not tell anything about singer (his vocal abilities) but focused only on stage presence. I find that quite weird.
In that regard you failed to deliver in your reaction.
I am glad that you found lyrics too see what the song is about but you totally missed the mark that this is antiwar song.
Every line is code since you cannot openly say who is psychopath, so you must convey meaning in different way.
Since you totally missed code here are couple of hints.
Mama ŠČ is metaphor for Mother Russia. ŠČ is letter in russian language.
Tractor is metaphor for Belarus and its president Lukasenko.
So Mum bought tractor means Russia bought Belarus (and used their country as staging point to invade Ukraine).
Mum loved moron means Russia loves Putin.
Armageddon Grandma means SSSR (Putin is trying to expand on territories which were part of SSSR).
I guess part of song where psychopat is mentioned dont need much of explanation.
Maybe part where Putin is called Crocodile psychopath; many people say that this line is connected with Boris Johnson and his description of Putin as crocodile; other say it is type of drug used in Russia that makes people acting almost like zombies.
Mum i am playing, and Mum i am going to war probably is self explanatory.
Now couple of hints about stage presence cause you missed those marks as well.
Singer represents Stalin (moustache).
That dude in black robe is dressed as Rasputin but on his forehead is written Njinle. Njinle is anagram and real word is Lenin.
Missles represents nuclear threats we face almost every day by some Russian official.
All members of band have uniforms and dresses to mock Putins homophobic nature ( in Russia being openly gay is punishable by prison).
If you watched behind band members on screen there was dancing but in white and red stripes (most posters in SSSR time were designed like that).
I could write more stuff but since english is not my native language it is kind of pain in the neck.
So antiwar song that mock dictators.
You may say that politics should not be part of Eurovision, and that is valid point, but that train left station long time ago.
Let 3 has been on Croatian music scene for more than 30 years and have been known for provoking, satirical songs that are based on political events. The tractor is a referance to Lukashengo getting a tractor for Putins 70th birthday, also Putin is described as a "that little psychopath, vile little psychopath"
Also main vocalist represents Stalin, while the guy in black has NJINLE (wordplay-Lenjin) on his forehead as well as the rockets he holds one has NJINLE while the other has PAJČU (wordplay- čupaj meaning pull)
Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia because it represents their letter Щ, as for the crocodile it refers either to Johnson calling Putin a crocodile or the cheap drug in Russia that makes people behave like zombies.
This song is just epic!!!!!! It's clearly an ANTI-WAR song and most appropriate for the situation that the UK has to host on behalf of Ukraine. I want to thank all the people here who explained the meaning in such profound detail! It shows the madness of the people who call for war. This is intelligent art! Truly out of the box! Just for the wittiness alone, this deserves to win! 12 Points from Germany!
Mama is "Mother Russia", ŠČ is щ - letter from Russian alphabet, so Mama ŠČ is Russia
Belarus is a type of Russian tractor, also last year Belarusian president Lukashenko sent Putin a birthday gift - tractor, so tractor is Belarus
Lyrics:
Mum bought a tractor = Russia bribed Belarus
Mum kissed a moron = Russia loved Putin
Nona means grandma, babushka in Russian, and you know that traditional Russian Babushka toy - a smaller one emerges from the larger grandma, many of them, last one is micro, so Putin is the smallest and last babushka popping out ("little psychopath) and btw Putin's general Surovikin is aka "General Armageddon",
So if Mama ŠČ is Putin's Russia which is trying to restore the empire of Stalin's Russia politically then
Lyrics:
Armagedon nona = Stalin's Russia
Little psychopath is Putin, Crocodile is heavy Russian drug turning people into zombies, crocodile is also how Boris Johnson described Putin
Lyrics:
That little psychopath
Little vile psychopath
Crocodilian psychopath
Mummy I'm going to the war
It's funny how you try to be serious about an absolute joke with many hidden political messages. They are trolling Putin as well as all dictators as well as the moment we live in, but most of all - with the structure of the song they are trolling Eurovision for becoming exactly that - a festival of trash. Let 3 is alter rock band known for dark humor and eccentricity to the extremes. I hope this helps. 😉
Best song change my mind.
when you try to understand a high value message song but your IQ Is lower then room temperature... Please stick to vocals and mindless love songs
Hey, your reaction video is amazing! The song is anti war song and talks about Putin and others. try translating the song again or if u want i can translate it for you:)
The guy with the Rockets has NJINLE. Reading from L through to N, it spells LENJIN, which is Lenin in Croatian. This song is anti-Russia/Putin/Lenin. Lines where he says, "Mama bought me a tractor" Mama: Mother Russia and Tractor is in reference to putin receiving a tractor for his 70th birthday from Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko.
