That's exactly what happened there. Kabát didn't know a thing about Eurovision and Czech Republic also didn't know a thing about the contest. It's not a surprise if you're debuting.
@@teo_heel Yeah they did state that, they said that they didn't think they were right for Eurovision and that a hard rock song like this shouldn't have competed because it's not Eurovision, PERSONALLY, I love the song and I think it's better than Hard Rock Hallelujah (come at me idc)
With all due respect, this band has never needed to perform for Eurovision to justify its qualities. Their long and great history in the center of Europe speaks for itself and I am very proud to put myself amongst their fans. Keep it up, guys, you rock!
SO. FUCKING. UNDERRATED. Czechia enters their first Eurovision with a hard rock song in Czech. Hard rock is a daring genre to compete with, singing in another language than English is extremly daring to do. They should NOT have come last. Atleast AWS did better in 2018 :(
Honestly if people understood czech this could have been one of top songs easily. This is probably the best entry czech republic had for Eurovision yet ❤❤
This song is one of the many reasons I love Eurovision. Czech Republic got a tough start at the contest but they debuted with an amazing song from a popular band in their home country. Love it when countries just send what they feel for, and decides to take a risk. Last place in the semifinal was such a joke, should have qualified. Epic debut entry!
I still think that this is our best entry in the contest ever. It kinda shows our music how it is supposed to be shown. This genre is very popular here in the Czech republic and Kabát is still one of the most successful artists here. I think it is right that we showed them to Europe.
Preach. Every word of your comment is pure truth, yes it is the best Czech entry at Eurovision, moreover, it's the best one of all rock&metal Eurovision songs! Should've won in 2007.
I personally thank you for sharing Kabat and their lovely song with us! And yes, for me this is definitely the best Czech entry so far. So criminally underrated. Should have reached at least the top 10 of that super-strong year. Top5 for me.
Anyone here after Czech Republic has sent an entry in Czech in 2023, it's great to see Czech Republic sending something in their language after sending english songs for 16 years
I have loved Kabát since Eurovision 2007, this song is amazing don’t know why it didn’t qualify back then, it was the best that year!!! Powerful song and lyrics and Pepa has an awesome voice.❤ I still play this in 2024. Love from the UK. 🇬🇧
One of the Czech Republic's best entries, yet statistically one of their worst, if I recall, the Czech nation is full of metalheads and rockers, so having this as their very first entry is very fitting, I think if they would send this now, they might've done well, the new system and juries definitely would've helped them at least. P.S. 2007 left so many great songs out of the final, Czech Republic, Iceland, Andorra, Cyprus, Poland, Denmark etc.
Metal hasn't exactly had a good record of results in Eurovision since Lordi's victory but in national finals the genre is still quite prominent every year.
What if they send Helena Vondračkova? Im upset that Alla Pugachova had not won in 1997 even since shes a Russian legend and icon. I think same can happen to Helena. But she is known from one song only. Malovaný džbanku. Its old as hell, 60-70s
they dont understand but they can feel the music.. Im from Czech republic and Kabát its my life my dad give me this music sorry for my english, but Kabát in Czech republic its god music, its 8 years thanks god they still sing for us
How could this fucking end at the last place!!? This is the song of czech republic, this song is fucking legend. I still dont understand Whats wrong with the people
The one time we actually sent a popular artist, we got last place? And with Kabáti??? Elementary school kids learn how to headbang to their songs, that's how iconic they are. Eurovision was just not ready.
Ikr :( you Czechs were so robbed, you should've won The funny thing is that I was an 8 years old elementary school kid as well when I was watching this on TV 😄
Since I haven't found them in the comments, lyrics: Original Czech lyrics My (rough) translation [Verse 1] [Verse 1] Utrhla trávu a začla hrát She plucked the grass and started to play Ta malá dáma z předměstí The little lady from the outskirts Co umí lidem z dlaní číst Who can read from people’s palms Tam kočky z rána mívaj hlad The cats there are hungry in the morning Po noci plný neřestí After a night full of vices Je pohladí a dá jim jíst She pets them and gives them food [Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] Po tmě se toulá a ve dne spí Wanders in the dark and sleeps in the day A její oči vědí víc než mý And her eyes know more than mine Došly mi slova já stál tam jen I ran out of words and just stood there S touhle jedinou bych zemřel I would die in a day with her [Chorus] [Chorus] S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance [Verse 2] [Verse 2] Tam za tratí svý doupě má She has her lair behind the tracks Mince po kašnách posbírá She fishes for coins in fountains A pak je skládá na kolej And then lays them onto rails Staví si chrám plechovej most She’s building a temple metal bridge Už po něm kráčí první host First guest is already walking on it Tak ať ho nohy nebolej So that his feet don't hurt [Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] Prošla si peklem a kouzla zná She went through hell and knows magic Přejetý mince počítá She counts ran-over coins A kdo jí spatří je zatracen Who sees her is damned S touhle jedinou bych zemřel With this one, I’d die [Chorus] [Chorus] S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance [Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] Budu si pamatovat na tu chvili I will remember the moment Když hrála znělo to jak Paganini When she played it sounded like Paganini A já už věděl že jsem ztracenej And I already I knew I am lost Zeptal se za kolik s pocitem viny Asked for how much with a feeling of guilt [Chorus x2] [Chorus x2] S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance
My absolute WINNER of 2007's contest and I'm proud saying this!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤💪💪💪 Pure eargasm!!! 😍👂💥💥 also the best Czech entry by far! Edit: and the best of all rock & metal songs Eurovision Song Contest has ever seen too! 🔥🎸 Edit n.2: and based on their result, it's also the most underrated song in the history of the contest.
Ooook... here we have most probably the top underrated entry ever!! Wonderful song, good live performance, decent staging. Nothing can justify this missing the final. The last place is beyond any effort of understanding. 2007 was a massacre cause it had too many nice songs but completely ignoring this Czech beauty was way too much.
Miluju kabát..... Vyrůstal jsem na nich a je to pro me do dnes srdcovka...... Sere mne ze kvuli takovy picovine jako je odlišnej jazyk od ostatnich narodu neprosli dál...... S touhle peckou by si zasloužili vyhrát! I love kabát!!!!!
Kabát is one of the best bands. If you know them well and if you have ever been to their concert you can hear they had a huge problem with mics/music. They couldn't hear it properly, it wasn't their fault. Amazing song. Amazing artist. The end.
I've just watched the Grand Final of Eurovision 2007 and I think this song is better than any of the songs that were performed there except for Molitva.
I remember the Icelandic commentator said something funny previous to this song, something like the singer's diet consisted of razor blades and crude oil to keep his voice like that. I snorted my drink through my nose when he said it because it made so much sense, it sounds exactly like that :'D That's the only reason I remember this song at all.
This is a great song even though I only understand the song title. Unfortunately a song of this genre with non-english lyrics has only small chances in ESC.

i still don't get how this got last place. in my top 10 in 2007. 12 from Romania
What Kabát have done is incredible tbh, plus how they've stayed together for so long.
A big group in Czech Republic.. So underrated but i think this song is not for eurovision, metal genre is always underrated in the contest...
LUIZ STS And what about Lordi? 😁
LUIZ STS no, Lordi won
Metal hasn't exactly had a good record of results in Eurovision since Lordi's victory but in national finals the genre is still quite prominent every year.

I'm really not a fan of their music but I must admit this was a perfect performance of theirs.
We need more music like this in ESC. This song is so good ❤️
YES!
How could this fucking end at the last place!!? This is the song of czech republic, this song is fucking legend. I still dont understand Whats wrong with the people

The funny thing is that I was an 8 years old elementary school kid as well when I was watching this on TV 😄
How is it posible that we didn't won. This is drfinitley one of the best Kabát's song.
My favoutire entry from Czech Republic :)
Eurovision couldn't handle them.
COME BACK FOR 2020 THIS PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING
This song is legend in a eurovisions song contest history , because they are win even they are lose ✌🏻
It was one of my favorite :) even couldn't understand the words I have listened it for mounts in that year :) of course studio version 😄

Since I haven't found them in the comments, lyrics:
Original Czech lyrics My (rough) translation
[Verse 1] [Verse 1]
Utrhla trávu a začla hrát She plucked the grass and started to play
Ta malá dáma z předměstí The little lady from the outskirts
Co umí lidem z dlaní číst Who can read from people’s palms
Tam kočky z rána mívaj hlad The cats there are hungry in the morning
Po noci plný neřestí After a night full of vices
Je pohladí a dá jim jíst She pets them and gives them food
[Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus]
Po tmě se toulá a ve dne spí Wanders in the dark and sleeps in the day
A její oči vědí víc než mý And her eyes know more than mine
Došly mi slova já stál tam jen I ran out of words and just stood there
S touhle jedinou bych zemřel I would die in a day with her
[Chorus] [Chorus]
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her
A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there
Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance
[Verse 2] [Verse 2]
Tam za tratí svý doupě má She has her lair behind the tracks
Mince po kašnách posbírá She fishes for coins in fountains
A pak je skládá na kolej And then lays them onto rails
Staví si chrám plechovej most She’s building a temple metal bridge
Už po něm kráčí první host First guest is already walking on it
Tak ať ho nohy nebolej So that his feet don't hurt
[Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus]
Prošla si peklem a kouzla zná She went through hell and knows magic
Přejetý mince počítá She counts ran-over coins
A kdo jí spatří je zatracen Who sees her is damned
S touhle jedinou bych zemřel With this one, I’d die
[Chorus] [Chorus]
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her
A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there
Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance
[Pre-Chorus] [Pre-Chorus]
Budu si pamatovat na tu chvili I will remember the moment
Když hrála znělo to jak Paganini When she played it sounded like Paganini
A já už věděl že jsem ztracenej And I already I knew I am lost
Zeptal se za kolik s pocitem viny Asked for how much with a feeling of guilt
[Chorus x2] [Chorus x2]
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den I would die in a single day with her
A jestli vám to nestačí And if that isn’t enough for you
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen If hundred women stood there
Vyzvu jí k tanci a to netančím I’d ask her to dance with me though I don't dance
My absolute WINNER of 2007's contest and I'm proud saying this!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤💪💪💪

Not my winner but definitely the best Czech Republic song!

The best one yeah, along with Finland 1982
Definitely, this and Melanie Rene from 2015.

Czech Republic is the the lowest ranking country in the entire Eurovision Song Contest series, as no other country has ranked 28th place or lower.
Last?!?!
Europe where are your ears?
In Estonia, apparently, only they voted for us.
Proud that the only point this song got was given by my country (Estonia)
As a fan of rock music, this is bad ass! However, some fans might find the lead vocalist's voice terrifying. Such a risky debut from the Czechs.
They just choosed bad song. They have many good songs but this song is underrated.
a jestli vam to nestaci..kdyby tam stala stovka zen 🎶🎶
IS A BEST LAST PLACE SONG!!
Kabat is the best czech band. Great choice that they played in Eurovision.
I see this is not the Eurovision with epic sax guy.
